I was at Seattle children’s hospital today and I noticed there are 5, 60’ versions of my tree on the grounds. I asked the gardener who was working what type of tree these are and she said “Dawn redwood” I said “interesting because I have one and thought it was a bald cypress” she said “you can...

Bought this tree from Will (grouper52) in February 2020. It was collected in Vancouver island in bog lands on a trip with Dan Robinson. Not sure exactly how long but 5-10 years prior. I’ve wired the tree several times and have taken the tree to a couple workshops. Slowly tilting the tree over...

I hadn’t considered cream and I really like that. Simple and allows the color of the tree in any season to shine. Thanks

Looking to purchase a pot for this tree at some point and can’t really decide on a pot type or color. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks, Mike

I did eventually design this as windswept and I loved how it was progressing before it died. Really no clue why. https://www.bonsainut.com/threads/windswept-italian-plum-progression.39294/

Hello, sorry I don’t come on here much so sorry for the late response. The red line in the image is the bottom of the layer. The yellow line would be the top where the roots would grow. You could groundlayer if you have space to put in the ground or deep box and could work better while...

This a perfect tree to airlayer. I have a huge shishigashira that I have taken 4 bigger air layers then your trunk. They have not failed at all. I personally would not hesitate.

Collection for me is about finding that diamond in the rough for myself. The better the material I collect then the better I feel about it. Also how much would the collected tree have cost from a nursery. I’ve stopped looking for urban collections myself. I’ve gotten some really good and...

This is a nursery tree I’ve had for 3-4 years. Flaws, yes. Many years to go. But unexpectedly produced beautiful flowers this year. So exciting!

I’m not generalizing anyone. If your a hard worker great! Everyone is not. If your not dedicated to pursuing an apprenticeship with Bjorn then what I said stands.

Seems to me that Bjorns detailed explanation of duties was perfect. It immediately got rid of a huge group of people who are not dedicated enough or are afraid of hard work.

R.I.P. Sad to see this one go. I really enjoyed the direction this was headed. Didn’t make it past the repotting in March. Should have let it go another year before repotting. These plums are very hardy. I was actually surprised it didn’t make it.

Better pictures would help a lot. But I’m leaning toward the last tree, the juniper being the most valuable because of the size of the tree. The trunk is big and size is in proportion and looks good in the pot. Seems like a styling would greatly improve this one. Again, can’t see much without...

While I agree with there being a lot of threads that just leave shaking my head. I don’t like the idea of separating either. I just click follow on some members But I’m not quite sure what that does exactly. Also watching specific threads of course can help wade through everything.

I really like it too but I don’t know the name. It was here when we moved here but it was buried under 20’ tall forsythia.

Purple bee balm, these are amazing flowers. Before they open the buds looks like they are covered in fishnet. So cool.

beni schichihenge foliage won’t get much bigger then this.

Oui oui, she’ll be alright.

Welcome! Doesn’t look like any azalea I’ve ever seen. Looks like a prunus but that’s just a wild guess. Add where you are located in your profile so you can helped better.

That branch is crucial to any design I would attempt. 1. Cut off everything above that branch and use the three visible branches to build a canopy with. Grow out cut back etc to develop movement, taper and ramification. 2. Keep all of it and build a much larger canopy. But I don’t think would...

Nice! How did I miss this thread?

Got rid of the moss. I’ll take the wire off soon and let all the main branches grow until next year or the following year before pruning back to develop taper and secondary branches.

This is why threads go off the rails. Completely ridiculous statements like this.
