Hey all, I got this collected Rocky Mountain Juniper on ebay. I have no knowledge of RMJs, any input would be greatly appreciated. I decided to take a look at the roots & repot into my own mix of akadama, pumice, cinder & turface. I barely cut any roots off. Here is the tree before...

About 2 months ago, my future father in law called & said he has some bonsai trees for me ( the real story is, my gf called & said "we have to go to dinner at the shop" I said "WHAT!!" she said "dad has some bonsai for you" & I said "what time dear?"). I blazed over to his shop & was directed to...

Hey all, i'm slowly getting my shohin collection together. I got this shohin elm from Don Blackmond about a month ago. Tree is 7 inches from the soil & has nice mature branches & small leaves. I let the tree grow wild for a bit & gave it a haircut today. I nearly went blind trying to...

Hi all, just sharing a nursery dewdrop that I finally potted up. August 2009, our club went nursery hunting. At our last stop of the day, I still didn't buy a plant to work on. My sensei called my name out & after crouching down & making my way thru about 50 dewdrops my sensei was standing next...

Hmmm, I thought I had posted a thread with this tree before, but I can't find it? Anyhoots, I worked my other satsuki today, wired about 75% of this tree & did some fall pruning. This tree gets really weak when it flowers so I pulled most of the buds & left a couple just for a taste:) I'm...

This tree was a leftover from a workshop at the Hawaii Bonsai Convention. I got it cheap, so its good practice material. I've read about this, but never actually tried it....now I have:) And now it fits into a shallow pot. I will shorten all the branches as soon as the tree...

Hey all, this is the 3rd pine from the same japanese old man. Is this the final tree from him??? We'll see:) The tree was not in this plastic pot. My friend wanted the pot that the tree was planted in so we just plucked the tree out of the pot & I used this plastic pot to bring it home. I'm...

Hey all, I just received boons decandling video. It is absolutely awesome! Boon lets you watch him decandle both, a tree in training & also a mature tree. I know we all know how to decandle but, if you're not sure or if you want to be extra sure you're doing it correct, GET THIS VIDEO! I'm...

Hey all, my friend went back to see the old japanese man this past weekend. The old man was not as friendly this time, but did let go of 2 more jbps(i think its hard for him to let go). My friend kept a nice slanting jbp & I was fortunate to acquire this one. I'm guessing that when you're...

I have a friend in our club who finds everything! I mean the guy can hit garage sales or estate sales & bring back tools, pots & anything to do with bonsai. This past weekend, he gave me a call & said, you're not going to believe what I found today! He said he was out looking for a garage sale &...

Well the Hawaii Bonsai Association "Bonsai Ohana II" Convention has come & gone:( I personally had a great time! This was my first ever convention & definitely not my last. Living in Hawaii, you don't often get to rub elbows & speak with guys like Tohru Suzuki, Mel Ikeda, Dennis Makishima, Roy...
