Beautiful here in Kentucky... mid 70s. high 60s over night. Soon though it will be raining all the time. So Im enjoying it while I can.

2 quick and dirty virts... both are with the tree lower in the pot. and I removed the branch on the left that is extremely distracting to me.

I would have to say it was the liberty posts. which were made of pine.

Well I for one am in awe of your abilities Al. Crafting anything is an art. I have all the equipment in the garage to make stands, and I have given it a try a time or two. Even with step by step directions it isnt easy. It really take a lot of talent to form something from a few pices of...

Very Nice tree Taylor.

Unfortunately Irene it happens all the time. most hackers are just bored people with technical knowledge that could ultimately be put to good use if they wanted to. Most of todays best anti-virus software is written by guys that started out life as hackers making viruses.

Touchy situation there Chris. Basically you can do one of two ways: 1. Basically let it die. 2. Or be honest with them. You might (probably will) get attitude but when it dies you will of been right, or they will ask for help. Ultimately it is there tree to kill. Im sure a bunch of...

I was thinking about placing a 18x18 inch tile under the tree when I plant it to get the roots to go out instead of down. Hopefully it helps. I'm gonna give it a week or so of babying before I place it. the trip in a cardboard box was enough stress for it for a while.

Yep Im just reading and learning, when there is something worth reading. And always keeping an eye out for better stock to replace my crapsai. Ive tossed a few, planted a few. Live and learn

Very nice Tom. if you decide to part with any of them send me a PM.

On the other hand the box behind the tree is from my new guitar. That I am very happy with.

Hmmm.... If I said I was dissappointed it would be an understatement. Anyone see any redeeming qualities. This one is going to a growbox. all 4 sides for your viewing pleasure. and the auction pic.

In my extremely limited experience with japanese holly. I had one under my patio, for a week all the foliage fell off and it died. I very experience lady I work with that is a wonder with horticulture told me, That it died due to very limited/no sun exposure. So you could probably do it but...

Will, I know this tree will not be anything for quite a while. The original spirit I intended for this thread was to see what people could come up with for a challenging long-term project. As I said, I plan on it one day being a semi-cascade. I have better stock. But if I put up a pic of a...

Thanks Alan. I would never say anything bad about your virt, I cant figure out how to do it. Thats the direction I want to go and seeing your virt makes me see that in my opinion it works. I never thought about the shari tho. I like it. thanks again Bill

I thank you so much Dorothy... and tell Ernie thnk you also. I'm gonna print that out and keep it with me. That is exactly what I saw when I picked that poor little guy up. I appreciate it more than you could ever know. Bill

Thanks Tom. This is all I was looking for. An insightful constructive reply. Thank you sir.

Not fishing for pats or anything else. I got that idea from BNut. I was looking for what you would do with that tree yourself. I know that you probably would have never given that piece of stock a 1st glance much less of bothered with it. But what if you had. I wasnt looking for help with...

I'm not looking for someone to hold my hand. I thought the point of an open forum was to get a group responce to something. There are a few people that I PM on this site and I always get good info from them. One of them is who urged me to write the original post in this thread. I...

I know this is going to sound like crying to some. But at the urging of some of the more seasoned members of this forum I decided to post some "observations" I pesonally got into bonsai because I fell in love with these little trees while stationed in Japan. I am a navy man, medically...

I know to most seasoned bonsaists, I have crap stock. I buy stock right now for one reason to learn on. I am not gonna invest in a $100+ stock that I will probably kill with my limited knowledge. So I figured with this little guy I can learn firstly that I can save a tree that more than...

Almost forgot size reference... The main trunk is only 1 3/4 inch tall from the soil. All the green branch growth is new in the last 2 weeks.

The lowes I work at is blowing out the junipers. Most are really really nasty, over watered and sunbaked. I grabbed this one hoping for a semi-cascade in the future. It was pretty much dead in the middle, the branches where completely spongey. I got it 2 weeks ago. Pruned out all the...

Hey Will, What kind of tree is that? There are trees in my area of kntucky that look like that but the leaves are rather large and i didnt know how well they would be suited for bonsai. I need to figure out what they are called.
