In light of all the recent train wrecks on here lets see what an actual tree question or posting will do, lol!! Here is a ponderosa I collected last year.... I am a year away from working on it, but it is very healthy and could be worked on now if I wanted too. I know what I am going to do to...

The other day I was taking pictures of these birds playing in the waterfall and also pictures of flowers etc... and thought these 2 came out pretty cool. The tree close is the back of an Austrian Black Pine and the tree afar is a ponderosa pine.

I figured we could do something fun to offset the political/religous thread that is grabbing all the posts.... :) Lets post our 3 favorite trees that we own. They don't have to be the best trees you have, just your favorites. It could be that it was your very first bonsai, a gift from a loved...

Here is a little black pine I got from a friend. Picture was taken March, 2008 And today, March, 2009 Full progression and other photos on my blog Thanks, Jason

I got this pot in a trade that had a nice little RMJ in it. The tree has since moved on and I kept the pot. The guy I got it from says it was a very expensive pot from Europe. I can't remember who he said who made it, the name escapes me at the moment. Either way, the signature doesn't look like...

Here is a nice little corkbark that I picked up from Brent Walston at Evergreen Garden works. I don't have pictures of when I first got it, but after a few years you can see in the black flat and then the other day after styling and potting. My blog has more photos of the repotting and roots...

I thought I would post this big ol' spruce to maybe stir up some positive bonsai discussions. Lets see how it goes :D This was dug from a landscape almost 2 years ago. Since then it has done pretty well, pushing lots of new growth. I left this out at the farm under some large oak trees and...

I finally got everything transfered over to my new computer! So, to keep the tree posting alive I will show a shohin Chinese Elm that I took in trade a year or so ago. This little guy has an amazing nebari under the moss. This winter I will clean the moss off the nebari, wire some of the new...

That is the question... Just thought I would see what everyone else thought about this one.... Not a special tree, but one that needed to be restyled. My thought is to cut the bottome right branches off. There are 2 of them there, for sure the front one needs to go and possibly the back as...

Hello Everyone, Here is another nursery find...... this is very rare to find scots pine of this quality in nurseries..... The story.... Thanksgiving of this year we had some family members get sick and not come to visit. Rich and his wife were heading to central Oregon for the holiday...

Hello Everyone, Here is a mugo pine that I picked up at a very small nursery in the middle of nowhere. It has been in a nursery container for 20 years. This is that lucky nursery find that comes along once in a blue moon and we got lots of cool stuff, one bieng this little mugo pine...

Hello Everyone, Here is a tree that I got from Rich before he really ever say it. I picked it and some others up at his firends house and decided this would be my fee for transporting trees. haha This tree has a very nice white bark all throughout the tree and the trunk has some real...

Hello Everyone, Here is an unusual European Beech that I dug from the field a few years back. It was a tree about 15 feet tall when I made the first chop as seen in the picture. What I liked about this tree was the branch that is now the tree was broke and stripped by Elk that come to the...

European HORNBEAM not Beech Hello Everyone, Edit~ This is actually a European hornbeam, I got my tree pictures mixed up...sorry for the mix up! Here is a field grown European Hornbeam that I just styled for the first time. I messed up badly and didn't get before photos. To me I think this...

Hello Everyone, Here is a sub alpine fir that was collected from Southern Oregon about 5 yrs ago. I bought it in the shape it was in during the first photo, the one with the smokes when I use to smoke! I have bare rooted it a few years ago and thought now is the time to style it. My eye and...

Here is a field gorwn Linden (Tilia cordata) that I dug from the field around spring of 2006, I think! This was about 14 foot tall at the time of the dig and went into a 16"x16"x5" growing container for 1 year. I then found this pot last year and put the tree into it for now. I know it isn't the...

Here is another one of these crazy candellabra trees..... This one has had nothing done to in since collection in Fall of last year. It has responded very well this spring and has pushed excellent growth. I will probably do an intial styling and bending of the main branch in a few weeks. It...

Here is a collected Ponderosa that is in the candellabra form. I have done nothing to it except bareroot 1/2 of it this early spring and put it into this pot. Pot will change when I bareroot the other 1/2 in the future. I am 1/2 way thinking about doing the styling contest at AoB or KoB...

In light of my last post on "Who we are" I thought I would throw a bunch of trees up here to discuss and start some sort of dialog about trees. So I am postsing a bunch of yamadori, most of which have yet to be worked on in any way. Here we start with a Lodgepole Pine that I collected a...

Hello Everyone. About 3 weeks ago I dig these 2 trees from a field here in Oregon. Oregon Bonsai has dug about 200+ that will be available this winter. Anyways, I had Rich out to help me do some root work and also pot up the one I got for him. A little history.... These are grafted dwarf...

Last Week RichL came out for a few days to do some repotting. After working on several of his trees, mostly ponederosa, we felt we were warmed up enough to tackle this big monster pine I have. It is a very heavy tree..... heavy enough I think I am done with very large trees now :) Anyways...

Hello Everyone. This is my first visit to BonsaNut. I like it, I think it is going to be a good forum to contribute too in what ever way that I can. I like the fact that it is a fairly small community right now and hope that the future growth doesn't make it political like some of the...
