    Rhody starting to wake up? I think.

    Thanks Micro, The overall appearance I am going for is all natural, broom but dwarfed. I cut back numerous times, pruned to appeal the eye but I reall don't want it to get much bigger maybe a little fuller and a we bit taller since it sits upright at about 10 inches :)

    Rhody starting to wake up? I think.

    Hey Gr Hey Grim, Zone 4 RI? I did a lot of research and really couldn't find a definitive answer on whether to tub it or keep it in its pot so I went with the tub. I have seen people bury theirs in the pot but I wanted to keep an eye on it on my porch. Weather can get well into the negatives...

    Rhody starting to wake up? I think.

    Here it is last fall, early to mid October. I bought it last year just after flowering so it's just about a year without ever seeing it flower. My inner self can't wait, it has nice buds but after it flowers back to shaping the tree again :)

    Do you have any pictures of your PJM? I it a small leaf? They grow like madmen here and super hardy even in the mountains. Every year they are a head Turner.

    Filling a big pot with a Ming

    That's all thats necessary :) i guess people feel the need to babble on about how ugly and unpleasing ones tree might look and how it doesn't fit "the look" of Bonsai. Thank you I appreciate your feedback.

    Filling a big pot with a Ming

    Bitch? Not bitching seems to me your being a little donkey. Pots I could care less about. I' not the type to spend and arm and a leg in this hobby unless I come across a deal which this pot was a bargain at 10 bucks. Maybe one day I'll listen to ya and throw it into another pot :) Have a good day.

    Fukien Tea Cuttings

    I tried some thicker ones and I failed but I have successfully rooted some thinner ones. I think the best bet would be an air layer but yea :)

    Filling a big pot with a Ming

    Pics taken at Bonsai West in Massachusetts. Maybe I should tell them that the trees are to high for the pots? Idk people drive me crazy you should do this and that for Aesthetics when in reality I think people should be aiming for their own creativity, forget the books and what you have learned...

The ming is all connected within I BELIEVE if not the little guy I might be able to separate but I just want to have it...
