    Free Western Hemlock...

    I have had and collected several killer Mt. Hemlocks. They are a touchy tree and while they are one of my favorites they are also one of the tougher species. I and others that I know have had healthy trees going for a few years and just lose a key branch out of nowhere. Its odd. I have had...

    current thoughts on foliar feeding

    I am a firm believer that it is very effective on broad leaf trees. Pines, not sure but I always feed the needles, etc... when I fert the roots. Can't hurt.

    Thats a really good tree!! You should be proud to have it in your collection. I gotta say, that is the first I have see with the moss like that, creative. There is a ton of bending that is going to be needed in the future....and with junipers that is a very specialized technique that is...

    To Bun Jin or not to Bun Jin

    Exactly. By Leaving one of them you are still leaving a branch with bars and issues and hardly any foliage. The trunk would have movement and deadwood at the top with the option I threw out there. The trunk would go left, right (pretty good movement) and dead wood. Replying on a cell phone...

    To Bun Jin or not to Bun Jin

    Which ever way you choose to go you should do something about it now. This is a young tree and there is no need to graph right now. With proper pine management (soil, fert, sun) you will get a ton of back buds. In 2 seasons (4 flushes of growth) you could have the design filled in and looking...

    To Bun Jin or not to Bun Jin

    My thoughts are Bunjin are a lot like windswept- it takes a special tree to pull it off. Anything other than a special tree will always look man made or have an appearance of a tree tyring to be a certain style when it really isn't. That's not to say what you have here is junk, what you have...

    Western larches

    I have collected Western Larch before with success.... I used the same principle when it came to field digging or repotting- only collect or mess with the roots when the buds are swelling and golden in colort. If they are open, forget it, GPS it and go back earlier next year. When it comes...

    Ryan Neil's updated Website

    Thank you bonsai66 and RedDog. Yes, I did all the work on that tree with Walter there to encourage me and make me do things I wouldn't have done without him there. The maple, I collected and styled. Ryan repotted it and trimmed it up a bit after the deer did some trimming. There are others...

    Rocky Mountain white pines...anyone working with?

    Randy Knight has collected many White bark /Limber Pines from the Rockies. Some very amazing trees with very good deadwood, twisty trunks and amazingly awesome needles. They are great for bonsai and have no problem keeping them alive here in the Portland area. Futher north into Seattle it might...

    New American bonsai

    Just like old times! I see not much has changed! :) Thanks Fore! I am just trying to set the record straight along with Walter, that the trees pictured were incorrectly labeled as sick or dead. When someone starts posting things like that they start messing with ones livelyhood, business and...

    Unreal I leave for a while and happen to come back to look at a tree sold in Portland and stumble upon this thread. Al, What the F@#K are you doing or thinking? Just because you seem to think something is dead doesn't mean it is. You are not the "this tree is dead know it all police" You...

    Hey Jason, This thread took a negative turn when I came in and corrected some wrong information, I will admit I should have just left it alone and not got sucked into it BUT whats the fun in that :) I didn't see where anyone said anything bad about Dan. I think Dan is a good guy and I will...

    Ryan Neil's Bonsai Mirai

    For the record I am out of bonsai. I have sold over 150 trees and only have about 10 left. Of those 10 I am keeping a couple of larfe decidous trees and thats it. I dont work on treees with Randy or Ryan anymore. We are still friends but I have shifted my priorities for now. I will be back in...

    Ryan Neil's Bonsai Mirai

    Those were auction trees.....basically trees to sell cheap and get rid of them. Most people in the NW dont spend money on trees and the ones that do already buy from Randy anyways. Trust me, trees arent collected to be collected, each tree that gets collected there are 500 that dont. And for the...

    No ego here Rock......just telling the truth and hate it when people spew stuff that they dont know about and have never seen for themselves. It gets old. Ryan isnt the only one who.knows Randys abilities and publicy states it. Many serious collectors. European and Japanese bonsai folks share...

    Ryan Neil's Bonsai Mirai

    You need to come down here and see what he has, what he collects and that he does it alone. Then you will retract everything that you just posted, I promise you. I will also bet that he collects in 1 year what all the people you can think of collect in 5 years combined!!! The only thing you...

    Attention hemlock lovers

    I would thin it out quite a bit, the middle section is way too thick. These love a good thinning and cutting them back. They respond very well. They also love fertalizer and water, just make sure to keep up on the growth and keep it in check. Hemlocks are one of my favorite trees...... with that...

    Two Nifty Twisty Collected Birch

    The true test will be what happens at the end of summer. A freshly collected tree will wake up and start to push due to the stored energy within the tree.....but you can't count it a success until you see a bunch of new feeder roots in addition to top growth as well. Best of luck with these...
