I am selling my giant crape myrtle. Local pick up only. Please reply through the craigslist add. Thanks http://orlando.craigslist.org/grd/3341414888.html

It's been a while since I've posted here and it's been a while since I've had an interest in this art. But it's good to be back. About a year ago I started going through some hard ships that took all of my time and mental energy. I lost my desire to take care of my collection. I didn't want to...

I recently purchased this pot (seller's photos below) and have no clue what would be appropriate to put in it. It's small with a diameter of a little of 3", so it'll be reserved for the smallest of shohin or maybe an accent. But because of its color I'm not even sure it would be appropriate for...

This tree is in its first year of being grafted onto the wood of a Juniperus Procumbens. Sadly the original tree was a failed air layer but I just couldn't let go of the magnificient wood. So I'm trying a pheonix graft and so far so good. I think that this will make for a very convincing tree. I...

Hi Everyone, I know very little about pyracantha, but I figured I'd give an air layer a shot last year and it took. I have since separated it from the mother tree and I'm letting the top leader grow out to thick'n it up so that the taper looks better. Plus, it has a huge chop scar on the...

Hi everyone! I'm listing one of my trees on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/Shohin-Crape-Myrtle-Bonsai-99-CENT-BID-START-/220735139824?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3364d6eff0#ht_500wt_1156 The bid starts at .99 cents. Thanks for taking a look and good luck! Ryan

I'm selling my entire collection...minus the pots I like and one or two trees. I've got a lot going on right now and I don't have time for them. Even my monster crape myrtle is for sale. I expect a fair price on all of them. No sentimental value here though. Send me a pm if you want pictures of...

What do you all do with your trees when you go on vacation? I'm leaving for 5 days in a few weeks and I'm looking for alternatives to putting my trees in plastic bags. Which is what I've always done in the past. I've thought of submersing them in water up to the top of the pot and letting them...

This satsuki was an ebay find. I have since pruned it and shaped it. The pot pictured is what I'm planning on potting it in. It is hard to tell from the photos but it is a burned orange and it is made by our very own Bonsai Nut Paul J. Katich. He makes excellent pots, and in my opinion rivals...

Just had this shipped in from california a few weeks ago. I have since removed the flowers and pruned it back to begin its training. I think it is so cool how it had a few "normal" petal shaped flowers amongst all the double skinny petaled flowers. Satsukis really are amazing plants.

I bought a few azaleas from on older nurseryman who started most of his plants from seeds and seedlings as long ago as the 1940's. They were unmarked and he didn't know what they were. I think they are a satsuki type of azalea but I don't know what kind. Any of you azalea experts know what this...

Hi Everyone, You don't see roses as bonsai too often and this is just something I'm toying with and not taking too seriously. But I could see this being turned into an accent plant very easily with the addition of some other plants. What do you think? Which way should I go; bonsai or accent...

These Golden Girls are always with me when I'm out mess'n with my trees. Some times they help me prune my stock when they knock them over :D Who's your bonsai buddy(ies) ?

They are just beginning to bloom. :)

So what do you use and when do you apply it to keep your JBP's and Shimpakus Healthy? I'm hoping to learn everything from feeding to Insecticide, to fungicide to whatever you do to keep them pest free and healthy. This will be first season growing shimpaku's and only about the 3rd or fourth with...

Hi everyone, Most of you know that I love Kusamono and I'm always on the lookout for good deals. I'm always on ebay looking for a good deal (I know, I know, but they can still be found there). There's an ebay seller who is selling plants that would be perfect for kusamono. Some are common...

No the title of this thread is not the latest Anime movie. I'm going to attempt a Tanuki this spring with the wood from my failed attempt to airlayer my twisted juniper ( You can see that thread, much to my chagrin, here...

Great Idea Al! I've never tried Trident maples so this is my first shot at them. You'll get to see how the tree ends up using my method and timing (for better or worst) along with the Central Florida growing season. I'm starting the thread now but won't do much with the tree until the spring...

The pot in this ebay listing is coming from Japan. It is going for $150 excluding shipment. Do you think this pot is worth the price? http://cgi.ebay.com/Japanese-Bonsai-Pot-with-Dragon-BIGEI-3-6-b1_W0QQitemZ390129671762QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item5ad58a5e52#ht_1814wt_1167

Has anyone ever used this to preserve the dead wood on their trees? It's natural so I'm assuming there wouldn't be any ill effects to the trees roots or foliage.

I'm very disappointed with my experience at Steve Pilacik's Matsumomiji.com web site. I'm in the market for some nice JBP stock material. When I went to his website the small photos (that don't enlarge) of poorly photographed trees was almost enough to deter me completely. However, there were...

I laughed so hard when I saw this listing. The "buy it now price" is $14,349.95. The seller claims that it is over 5' Tall.....I dunno about that. Check it out and get a good laugh, oh yeah and beware of the bad bonsai dealers on ebay...

Many of you may know this already but Brussel's Bonsai is now supplying Home Depot with "Mallsai" here's a link: http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Search?keyword=brussell%2Bs%2Bbonsai&langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053 Is this a good thing? Why or Why Not?

Who knew the end depth study of pruning pines could be reduced down to "just cut the new growth". In this video a woman living in Japan prunes a 100 year old pine in her estate garden. Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChsWT1Fkb38

I recently purchased a Maple Wood Burl Stand From Ebay I got it in the mail and it is really nice. I only paid about $15 for it including shipping. I noticed that the seller listed more, and raised his prices slightly, but for what you get it is a good deal based on other listings I've seen for...
