My good ole 528. Miss that car

Nice collection. That cascade and its pot are awesome. CW

Hi @cmeg1 Very impressive. I was wondering how you see these roots ever becoming free from the rock wool? Does it eventually deteriorate? Sorry if this was mentioned before, there is a lot of technical info in these posts that fog me out. CW

Akadama and pumice are not readily available near us. Best bet is to join with your local bonsai club for shared purchases. Otherwise online I've bought some great and cheap lava from Partek Peat in Great Meadows NJ. See my post Here Pine bark is easier to find, but it must be sifted as the...

Thats what I would do, and have done. CW

Sometimes I will open a thread and as I'm reading, realize that its years old. Any chance that the "Jump to New" button could appear next to the up/down arrows that appear as you scroll the page? No biggie, just seems convenient. CW

Slightly off topic, but did you see THIS Craigslist posting? Maybe go see his trees, buy a few, and get some advice? I have no idea if this fellow knows what he is doing, I just happened across this today and since you're in NJ, I thought I'd mention it. And in case you don't know, @Walter...

I'm just a hack when it comes to finishing bonsai, but isnt anyone concerned with @ManSkirtBrew feeding every week? Does he do the same with his deciduous trees? Organic fertilizer? Just a thought from a 1-2 times per year fertilizer. CW

@Bonsaibillie99 Don't fret. Almost all of us have killed our first trees. That wasn't a particularly old or well developed tree, so sad as it might be if you lose it, re-use the pot and try something easier like a ficus (tropical and you can bring it indoors) or an elm (probably needs to stay...

Chinquapin oak? Chestnut Oak? CW

Very nice Adair. Its a shame you have to have that netting to keep the critters out. There's no other way to have pond fish protected? CW

Pepe Le Pew. Cat better watch out! CW

Oh, trust me, you would know if it was a female Ginkgo. CW

Not a seedling growing in the moss? CW

Bu, Have you thought about chopping the heads off of the seedlings? Sounds crazy, doesn't it? But prepare to be amazed. There are a lot of threads on this technique, but @cmeg1 seems to be doing it best. Go take a look at this thread Pine seedlings CW

Well it may get colder there, but I'd worry about the heat/humidity if I were you. CW

Chase Rosade's place in New Hope, about an hour North of Philly. Here CW

Very cool. On the items with moving parts, do you print the entire object, or print pieces, then assemble them? CW

You should start shopping for pots :p CW

Great find! If you look on azalea/rhododendron sites, you will find that they demand good drainage. Not an issue for bonsai usually, but watch the drainage on the ones you planted out in the yard. I too would vote for some hard pruning, otherwise you just have azalea bushes in a pot. CW

So I have a flowering quince that has been growing in the ground for several years. I want to dig it up to get the roots in shape, do some chopping and separate out the suckers. The flower buds are swelling now. I seem to remember the leaves come after. I don't want to miss by prime digging time...

You have your first tree still!? Man, I can't even remember my first tree. I got interested as a 20 something after finding some old "Japanese miniature trees" magazine of my father's. Dad's gone and I'm sorry that I never asked him where they came from. Anyway, I fooled around and killed a...

Though little used, nine bark does seem to have some potential. I don't know your climate, (thought Yorkshire was in England)but you can usually dig up and "bonsai" a landscape plant just as buds are swelled and ready to open in the early Spring. Did you just recently prune that back? Would...

That is a lovely room. CW
