Hey everyone, I have about 10 princess persimmons (male and female) that are all from root cuttings and have been in a grow bed for the last 2 years. I'm located in Raleigh, NC (7b), and trying to determine whether I should be collecting them now and moving to training pots. I have read that...

I have a few tridents, Korean hornbeams, weeping cherries that are in the ground now and I want to move them to another area of my yard that has full sun. I assume this process is best done in the spring so I'm wondering if now is a good time to trench the roots so that they start pushing finer...

I have a toyonishiki I am going to be digging up in spring that is perfect for cascade style but I wanted to see other examples to get some ideas.

I styled another monster hinoki cypress this weekend. Here is the before and after. La Croix can at the base on the left for perspective on size. This one will also go into a bonsai pot next year. Would love feedback and ideas.

I have a hinoki that I wanted to add a bend on a younger trunk. Do they take well to wedge cuts?

I did some initial pruning and styling on a new Hinoki Cypress last weekend. This one was a massive tree to work on. It will go into a bonsai pot next spring. Whiskey bottle on the after photo for size. Here is a before and after.

After putting a trident on a rock, how many years before you check on it? I placed two on rocks this last spring and figured it was a two year wait before checking but wanted to confirm. I used the method of draping the roots over then adding sphagnum round the roots and plastic wrap, tightly...

I am trying to figure out how to best calculate the optimal size wire frame and how many seedlings I will need. Anyone have experience with trident fusion and care to share any tips or lessons learned? Much appreciated.

Need some guidance on the best way to deal with what appears to be root gall on my Princess Persimmon. It has been in this flat for 2 years now. Do I wait until spring and then pull it out and cut it all off, repotting it? Or do I deal with it now before the first frost and keep it in my...

I am looking to get some new pre-bonsai plants for next spring. I know this is not the time of year but figured I would check in before making my business trip. Thanks Dane

Am I missing something? I figured there would be an easy way of checking to see if anyone had commented on a post I made without going to each post.

I have some trees I will be collecting in late winter and need to get my first reciprocating saw. I will try to get a used one on eBay since I am not a rich man but wanted to know what to look for as far as power, features, etc. I will use it on roots as well as trunk chops. Thanks!!

Are there any good books on mame? Things like preparing the pot (do you drainage hole mesh?)' soil prep, seasonal watering schedule, watering tools, fertilizer, seasonal locations (inside,outside,etc...

Just figured I would ask. :)

So I noticed that this azalea that I was in the process of taking an air layer from (hence the trunk chop) had lace flies so I sprayed the hell out of it. I think I used Sevin but am not sure at this stage however once the leaves started dropping off new growth started popping up. I figured it...

I have posted it everywhere from reddit to facebook to the local agricultural department and NO ONE can seem to identify it. Just don't want to post in the wrong place so I will wait to post until I get the go ahead on where. :) Thanks
