Gday all, To avoid being called a necromancer and dredging up an old thread after 3 years. See here: Bristlecone Pine? I was wondering how goes the fight with the people that participated in this discussion. Its been three years ... where your conclusions validated? .... did you learn...

Was PM'd and asked to update this Juniper that some of you may or may not recognize (1st pic).It s been a while so I thought I'd go ahead and do it. Was going to put it in the gallery but then was asked to show the back and was not sure how to lump them all together :confused: so I thought I...

This thread is titled ask the judges not rip them a new one. :D So with that in mind feel free to post any inquires you may have regarding the wisteria and pot contest. Have fun Ian and Flex

While we wait for the judges to return the results of the Wisteria and Pot contest. I decided to throw in a little twist. I thought it would be interesting to see if the community members of Bonsai Nut saw it the same way as the judges. A poll has been created to take a vote from the Bnut...

Today I started in earnest the start of collecting for the 2008 season. Most all trees have been dormant long enough here that we can consider selecting a few for collection. We returned to a spot that had been scouted about a year a go and had some really good material for collection. This...

In the thread Some Previews I suggested a friendly contest for some winter time fun. So as promised here it is. The idea of this contest is to try and match a pot with this wisteria. The best match of pot and tree as decided by the judges will win a hand built Erin pot. The judges decision is...

Was sorting through some material that will be posted to the site this spring. I thought to help with some of the winter time doldrums. I would post a few here to give a sneak peak. I will post more later as I pick candidates for the site. First image is a Wisteria with a 13 inch base. The...

Was cold today, first real bite of fall. Of course this put me on alert as I felt the urgency to prepare for winter. So I started walking the fields taking stock of the material in the ground and trying to reassure myself that I was prepared in the field and all I had to do was concentrate on...

Well in a previous thread by Taylor I said that I would get her to read some articles about photography. Well maybe I should havedone some reading first myself. Any suggested readings after I planted my foot firmly in my mouth with my suggestion to Taylor. This is a collected yew that begged...

Hi All, Started autum collecting yesterday and thought I'd share Tree #1

Found these two trees while scouting a mountain for future collection yesterday and we also collecting some blackberries for a pie:D, no sense coming back empty handed. When I got home I pulled out my Peterson's guide and came up blank. The first is what I believe is a maple from the seed...

About 18 months ago (my best guess) a picture essay came out of Cheng Cheng-Kung (I think) demonstrating silk carving (Sidiao). I have been googling for that link but have come up empty. Does anyone remember what site it was on or better yet have the link? Any help would be appreciated.

Yesterday I decided to go do a little tree hunting to mark for this fall or next spring. For deciduous trees in these parts the best hunting is in geographic areas that are subject to natural force....in this case it was water. Taylor , Scooby and I went and explored about 6 miles of a creek...

A lot of you may have seen this Spruce before. I've been thinking alot about its nebari. While this is a nice tree it does have a major flaw with the nebari. I could rationalize it away by saying that its wild collected stock and that is the norm. However, in my heart of hearts I know that this...

No we are not air layering the top of this 30 foot cherry off :) We decided to airlayer one of its branches that had a very large extremely tapered branch. This was done as a wonder if I can do it moments after we had airlayerd about 50 American elm branches. So at my wife's urging I decided to...

Hi all, Collected this tree in the spring. Wasn't sure what it was but had nice bark and close internode spacing. Well, being full of myself I thought I would have no problem identifying it ...wrong! I originally thought it was a persimmon but the roots aren't black and the bark is slightly...
