    Grafting Acer palmatum Compatibility

    Yeah there a pain depending on the cultivar. Timing seems to be crucial.every once in a while I might get a sucker from the rootstock and you can root those as easy as a trident But when it comes to specific JM cultivars it's been hit or miss for me. Most of the time it's a miss but I haven't...

    JAPANESE MAPLE AIR LAYER; with base support

    Bench build

    Nice work skinny, it looks good but I don't think it's gonna stay that pretty for long man. I can't imagine it not swelling and tweaking the first hard rain. I do water damages every day for a living And any wood is gonna swell and tweak when wet unless you had a finish that could prevent any...

    JBP Fall Update & Fall work questions

    I have stayed away from pines because they seem a little more complicated and difficult to be perfectly honest. I really want to try to work with one but the more I read about the care and techniques the more I push them away for now.not sure if my impression of this is correct but the the...

    My Japanese Red Pine

    I really like this tree allot and love to see the progression pics of it. I hate to step out of line here commenting/critiquing anything on it because I'm sure there's been countless of combined years experience looking at the tree but I'm curious about the first branch that drops down. The...

    My 2 cents worth for what's it's worth.....

    My 2 cents worth for what's it's worth.....

    While we are on the subject of nana's being fun to work with and a great beginner tree I figured I would mention(plug in) plant city bonsai out of Clermont Georgia.

    a winter wall

    I wasn't sure what a winter wall was either but I finally clicked on it. I don't know anything about suiseki either but I did run across a video of someone making a dai before . Looks pretty difficult and time consuming, I think yours turned out pretty nice.
