I purchased a Pomegranate to put in the ground for a few years. When I started reading about the care of them I keep seeing to keep them from frost. Will the frost kill the tree or is it just meaning the fruit? Middle of Alabama, should be OK for this tree

I have had this hawthorn 4-5 years, it has been doing fair, as it has not dies on me. The branches don't seem to be getting any larger, but I figure as long as it is living maybe they will grow. We had rain most everyday last week, most at end of day when I got home. Did not need to water, but...

I collected this wisteria a few years ago and let it just grow. So far it has done ok, had blooms the first year but none since, new growth of leaves and small shoots, so I just let it continue. the other day when I was watering it has this fungus , I am guessing "rust" and appears a large part...

This tree has been in the ground about 5 years now. Today when I walked around to look at the trees I saw yellow leaves all around it on the ground. I think it did something like this before but not this many leaves. what can I do to stop this thanks

With the DLS change I had about an hour of daylight left after work and gym. I figured I would take my trees out of the small house that is really for our well filter. I rebuilt it a few years ago with transparent roof and tall enough for some trees. We have a light that hangs from a bungee cord...

While on our property this weekend, I got this, not much to the trunk but did get a fair amount of roots. Couple years ago RockM told me Beech do not like drastic root cut back when collecting, the one he told me about died. So I hope this will have a better chance. I had about 2 hours of day...

I got access to this Wisteria, there is a much larger one about 4 feet away and I think this came up it, you can see above ground roots between the 2. Seems everything I dig does not have much roots, but one big tap. This has more than some I have dug. I cut it back, I think it really...

A couple of years ago I collected a Beech on our land and some people made comments that there should be some Hornbeam around since there were Beech and they may be close to water. This weekend I decided to take a look Saturday afternoon, good chance to get my Dad out of the house as he enjoys...

I found an nice wisteria that I can collect this weekend. What would be the best soil for this, should I bare root it or leave some original soil? I have some turface & bark / Pumice / used Brussels soil I read some of the past post about collected wisteria on here, just asking current opinions ...

Saw this tree this weekend, idea of what it is and would it be worth collecting?

I have the opportunity to dig a few azalea from a home that will be sold and most likely demolished, which will most likely destroy the azalea in the process. So if my dig does not work and they die, it is not as if I wasted the tree. There are 4 places with multiple trunks coming from one...

Over the past 3 maybe 4 years I have collected and marked hawthorn on our property. Out of the 3 I have collected 1 is still living, now this just can't be that hard. We have all read BVF story of how it got the awesome hawthorn of his from collecting near his home. :rolleyes: First year I...

Went to the Alabama Show in Birmingham today, Great Show! Many Beautiful trees, big turn out for the event. Talked with BFV and meet Mellow Mullet and got to talk to many other interesting people. Took some pictures for screen saver viewing and picked up a couple of trees from Michael McDaniel /...

Made a trip to Brussels this weekend for the Spring Sale. Over the years I have tried to go at least every couple of years and that is only because of the distance. If it were closer I would go much more or till I was Bonsai Broke... I think @Adair M described it as "The scale of the place is...

Got this yesterday when I was in the woods. It was the smaller of the ones I say and wanted to get at least 1 tree since I was here. (Tagged Tress Post 2-9-19) Did not get as many roots as I thought I had and one of the large roots that would have been showing at soil line broke off on the rid...

Went to our property today, got a late start. I was ready at 8am waiting for my Dad to call and say he was awake, he love to go this is his home place as a child but does not like to drive there by himself now at 86. So I am waiting as I know sometime he sleeps in and did not want to wake him...

I saw this Saturday when in the woods. It is by a small stream, look close on the right side you see where it broke off and started back andthen the left looks like a new tree out of the root.

This is the second tree I collected yesterday, this was the largest pot I had to put it in. If it goes well I will build a box for it next year. I was out of the turface and bark mix so I used this gray stone (somewhat porous) mix for an older tree. I realize the chance of bringing something in...

Made a trip to our property yesterday to look for trees to collect. It's been cold last week and my Dad could not get out to do much so I figured it would be a good day for him as the land is his old home property. I realize it is a bit early to collect but with my limited time on the weekends...

https://www.stonelantern.com/NEW_Tie_Pots_make_growing_bonsai_trees_easier_p/pptiepot.htm I saw this in a Stonelantern news letter today. I think it is a great idea, wish I had thought of it.... :)
