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.

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...

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...

I just picked up a Picea Pungens from the local nursery. They dont deal with the public but I got an inside guy now :D It was wrapped in burlap. I removed the sack and slipped it into a nursery pot. It is a big ball of clay. My question is... Should I do anything else to it now...

I got this poor poor japanese holly from work, it was going in the garbage after a class on pruning. There is no leaves at all. So I grabbed it and brought it home. I thought the roots were interesting but deffinately are not radial. Lets me know what you think, if this thing is worth...

Ok long story short. This spring my folks figured out the condenser unit had stopped working so they had it replaced. In the process one of the guys stepped on one of mom's azaleas. Breaking it in two. My dad being the calm and rational person he is at times chain sawed the thing then...

I was thinking of buying this elm and I was wondering what everyone thought of it. Please be honest as I havent bought it yet. :D 6-8 inches tall. Trunk about 1" thick. Sorry the pic is so big I did a direct link to the website for it. Use the pic in smoke's response. its much easier...

one of the styles I havent seen much of besides when I was in Japan is raft style. Supposed to look like the tree fell over, blown over and the branches continue to grow upwards. Basically looking like several smaller trees. I saw several of these while in Japan and have never seen one in...

I was looking online at the pricing for Bonsai Focus. Apparently they combines Bonsai Today and Bonsai Europe together into one mag. To me 6 issues at $54.95 seems a little steep. Never looked at one of these mags but seems like most mags today are nothing but adds with little in the way of...

Well went out today all set to buy a couple books on the basics for bonsai. Hit every major book store new and used in the Louisville Metro Area. I found one book that was worth buying and there isnt much in the way of basics in it. Bonsai Survival Manual by Colin Lewis So far it is a...

I have seen several pics of trees that have areas that are extremely white. I was wondering how this is done. Is it dead wood? I borrowed a pic from Dale Cochoy's website as this is one of the best examples that I could find. Hope that is okay Dale if not I apologize ahead of time.
