For those of you who don't know what a Scaper is, you're probably not one. But just to make sure, a Scaper is someone who plays RuneScape. Hey guys, So, RuneScape gets really boring with no one to talk to, as some of you probably know. So this thread is for all people who play RuneScape and have...

Alright, it seems like boxwood isn't for beginners. Would a ficus or a sweetgum be better for beginners like me?

Thanks guys for the advice. I'll be sure to take better care of it. I've already trained one twig, and it worked! Also, I am already looking forward for my next tree, which I am probably going to get next summer. I have my eye on a harland boxwood. Any suggestions?

Hey guys, I know I haven't been active in some time, but this time it seems like good news. I went to sleep over at a friend's place for a few days, and I forgot to tell anyone to water my tree. Sounds stupid, right? Anyway, when I came back, the leaves, every single one of them, were brown and...

Sorry guys for not answering earlier. I've had my tree 11 days and I've kept it outside for the entire time. I've pruned it a little and it gets about 6-7 hours of sunlight each day. It's doing very well. I water it whenever the soil is dry (which is often, usually everyday). I've fertilized it...

So should I get a boxwood? It seems easy to take care of and it looks nice.

I read that these red maples prefer cooler climates than where I live (they prefer zones 5-8, maybe 9, mine is 10). It rains a bit during the winter and it might get cold (40-50F), but most of the time it's warm. It's lighting needs aren't too much. So would it do well indoors, where it's...

Are shohin trees worth it? And what about Japanese Red Maples (ease of care, for beginners or not, etc.)?

Any more trees for sale?

Thanks for the advice I already have a Chinese elm, it is my first tree. I kind of forgot about rust. I couldn't really tell what kind of style/form it was in when I first got it, and it seemed sort of shapeless. But I think after I cut off a few of the sacrificial branches, it will look...

Hey Judy, Do you still have the willow leaf for sale? I might be interested in buying. Thanks

Thanks guys I think my dad has thicker wire that I can use. For the style, I would like to achieve an informal broom form. I think it looks the nicest and probably the easiest. If I do plant it in a colander, can it be metal? You also said that getting more than one tree is worth it. Some second...

I'll do that. I just saw the thread about when to water, and I saw the bamboo stick idea. Everywhere on the internet, the care guides make the biggest deal about lighting, and they don't say much about watering. And now I'm seeing that, according to you, watering is the hardest part of bonsai...

Thanks erb, you're a big help. I actually just saw this right now, and I already brought it inside just in case. I'll put it back outside.

Sorce, you said that my tree looks like a failed airlayer. And you said that I can fix it. How? And Doug, Did you mean Chino? Because I just learned that Chico is a city that's an 8 hour drive from my house. Mistake maybe? Thanks anyway. General questions How old do you think my tree is...

Here are some pictures. This is not where I'm keeping it, I only put it here to take pictures.

First of all, to answer JoeR's question, my dad likes what I started, but he probably won't build a bench for plants or install a special hose for me. Maybe buy me a tree for some celebration. He's at work all day, so he has no time anyway. My mom is "meh." I'm pretty much on my own. That's why...

Hey guys, I just got back from the Eastern Leaf nursery with a Chinese Elm that's about 8.5 inches tall and a 9" humidity tray. I'll see if I can get some pics. Also, the foliage on the elm seems kind of sparse compared to pictures of them on their website. I know they take pictures of the best...

Where I live in SoCal, the closest bonsai club is pretty far away, and it costs $30 to join. San Diego is a 5 hour drive from my house. And I'm not even 16 yet.

I can. It's just that I wanted to keep one inside for aesthetic purposes only. What do you guys think the best tree is for beginners? Also, Chinese Elm is considered to be a beginner tree by a lot of people. I'm considering all the trees on this list...

Haha guys, I came off for like 45 minutes, and when I come back there are a bazillion replies. I've established that junipers are outside plants and that getting one as a first tree probably isn't the best choice. I've settled on a Chinese Elm, so you guys don't need to keep telling me that...

Hey Guys, I'm going to a nursery today, so any last suggestions. Junipers are my favorite, but that doesn't mean I have to get it if there are better choices for me. I want to keep an indoor one because of aesthetic purposes only. But I'll keep it outside if it's better for the tree. Two...

Hey Frary and Joe, You guys can still post on this thread. Just please argue somewhere else. Thanks

Haha, thanks for that question, erb.75, it put my mind back where it's supposed to be (not sarcasm). I was letting my imagination go wild with bonsai possibilities. I actually just want a nice looking juniper that I can try to practice bonsai on. I've read that junipers are good for beginners...

Hey guys I scratched the idea of getting a dwarf jade. I just figured out I have another one of its type in the backyard growing in the ground. So I read up on whether juniper trees are safe to keep inside. I found that it is, so long as you put it outside in the winter for it to experience it's...
