Hey all, I'm researching some mume and looking to get some starters soon. I'd like to see some pictures of the end result after lots of work of trunk chopping and shaping. Anybody have some pictures of some mume (in flower if possible. ;) )?

I want to get a small Korean hornbeam. I want to see pictures of these plants as finished bonsai or works in progress. Anybody have some that they'd like to share? Some information wouldn't hurt either. ;) Thanks--

Hey everyone, I collected some Bald Cypress seedlings from a friend's tree a few months ago and then put the into the fridge to stratify. None of them germinated after 2-3 months so I just took them out of the fridge and put them where I keep my new cuttings, basically where I can ALMOST...

Does anyone know where I can find seed of this species? I've looked for awhile but cannot seem to find a source (US). Anybody have one? David

Hi all, In my efforts to start lots of suitable material for bonsai I'm going to order 1 ounce of JBP seeds next January with some other pine species, maple seeds, and other things. One ounce of JBP seeds = around 2000 seeds (2031.25 to be exact) :D So what the heck am I going to do with...

I've read much of Brent's articles and they all seem to say (along with just about every other internet source) it's a bad idea to grow a Japanese White Pine in the deep south or any very hot area. Well, I'm in a hot, humid area and of course bought one. I've had it for a couple of months and...

I recently bought a cutting grown 'Alpenweiss' JM. It's a cool variegate (pictures to follow). So far I plan to put a branch bender to the lower trunk to get some movement lower down and then start the whole grow out/chop trunk thing. I'm looking at this to be a light, airy informal upright...

Calling all people that have taken pine cuttings before: How and when do you do it and can you please explain the processes that you do to successfully root them? Thanks, David

This year has been grow-as-much-as-possible-from-seed year for me. So naturally, I bought a 'Wonderful' pomegranate and saved the seeds. I planted them about 2 months ago and they are looking good. I know that they probably won't come true from seed, but they'll be good material regardless...

Hi everyone! I ordered some Cedrus brevifolia and Cedrus libani seeds about a month ago. Went to Brent's article about germinating them, and I just wanted to post a series of photos of them first growing through their first year. Right now, none of the libanis have even started to put out a...

Hi all! I just received a 'Zuisho' White Pine Friday from Mr. Julian Adams. It is absolutely beautiful. However, there are some things that need to be done. Right now it has a major branch/trunk fork that is too high, and I don't want a double trunk. I think that I'll remove the left fork...

Hi everyone, I've been looking on the net for a time for information about Cedrus libani 'Green Prince.' Thing is, there is almost no info about it! So does anybody who has it or knows something about it want to share information? I know it has to be grafted on Cedrus deodara rootstock...

Hi All, I have read bits and pieces from many other threads, but I just wanted to put the information all together...can everyone just tell me their way of taking Japanese Maple cuttings? I have 28 cultivars and counting, and want to make many cuttings for bonsai. I know (mainly from...
