Just a small update. I am seeing a slight improvement with 2 of my crabapples. I am seeing an even smaller improvement with a couple of the trident maples. I am also seeing no change in a few trident maples. Some of the Japanese maples are slightly improving too. I have been removing leaves as...

AlainK- I hope you know I was completely joking about the selling your kid thing! It struck me as a funny thing since people ask me all the time if I have children and I tell them I have bonsai trees. They all sort of respond with a "turned head look" like a dog. It just shows you what a passion...

Tim- Thanks for asking. So far, some of the trees, which include several crabapples of which I did not mention, are doing slightly better. The first posted photos on this by "remist17" along with my photos show the same problem. I was so relieved to see that someone else has the same issue...

Nice maple. I just was given a tree like this and did a search to find it was a Norway Maple. I have no idea what it likes, but seems as if you've done just fine with yours! Gives me inspiration, thanks!

What a lovely tree! Great image too. This is one you ought to keep for sure. I bet you've got a strong relation to it. Ever think of selling your kid?! I know, it's not funny, but hey, my trees are like my kids! Really, it's always hard to part with trees in any way, for any reason. Id' be...

Well done! Great sense of scale. On the ring laminating process, did you clamp it with clamps to a mold, or possibly use a vacuum bag? I'm a woodworking guy and so I've been spoiled in some techniques. I always admire when a person gets an idea in their head to make something and stops at...

It's actually well thought out and nice for the size. I think if and when you are ready to expand you can do that too in front of it with an additional row set up. For myself, I went with the super cheap concrete blocking for legs you can get at the big box stores. I had quite a bit I needed so...

Yup! You got it. The heat from the reflection of the house, (even though it was an 8' deep porch) and all the heat from the floor (grey painted plywood, no holes or cracks for ventilation upward through floor) just rolls up into the porch roof and just focuses on the trees. Yes I kept them on...

Yeah, there is a bit of extra space I plan on moving into over time!:)

The heat in my former location is no where near any of the extremes seen in the hotter parts of our country by any means. I just know what I saw, hot pots, and stressed trees. I too look at it and think it's a bit much, yet it makes me smile every time I go there. I certainly appreciate the...

I certainly understand that most people might not understand my exact area here on the North Olympic Peninsula in Washington State. The micro climate I used to have the trees in was a hot south facing porch. One tree loved it, my giant Trident. Only in the hottest time of the year for several...

Well isn't that just fun! I opened my heart to ya'll and everybody spreads their love! Thanks for the comments. I've spent years planning the site, watching the sun and it travels from season to season. Let ya know how it goes.

That roof isn't coming off anytime soon! I'm way committed on that one! Well, I believe there's absolutely no worry for the light. There roof is only a 15-20% reduction in light transmission. (Clear, yet this photo shows it with this years early season massive pollen coverage) Yeah, my belief...

Hey there everyone. Thought I would post my newly finished bonsai house pictures. I worked with a local contractor last summer and we built it during a great dry summer in his off days. My criteria was that I wanted to keep the deer out and have it covered by a polycarbonate roof. There is a...

Thanks. I'll post my new set up soon!

Hey Tim, no ghetto there. It's a start. It took me many years to even think of something I wanted, and then it took years to do it!!. Can you tell me how you uploaded your photos to be small in your post and then when you click on them they come up as a "click and scroll" to view them? It's a...

Think I got the pics for everyone to view. I'm a bit nervous to take a leaf in to our local extension, they seem not to be very knowledgeable. I may do so if it continues.

Yup, I did buy the premixed stuff at first, then ran out and bought the concentrate. I'll add a tiny few drops of soap to get a bit more adhesion as suggested. I'm still working on getting the photos to be available to all. Please be patient. Forums are all different sometimes, and since there...

When I view my post, the pictures show on the page. At least they show with me signed in? Anyone else have trouble with seeing my photos? I can also click on a photo and see the details too, hmmmm...

Being new to the forum I am trying to get you folks some images of my troubled trees and the brown edges of the leaves. Through the week I have been able to use one of the sprays, Daconil, which comes out of the bottle like runny snot! Goes on rather thick, yet sprays somehow? Very strange! I...
