Great to hear Dave. It also helps to show that who you surround yourself with .....

Definitely helps working with Boon.

I am thinking freeze thaw cycles, it can warm considerably in sheds and garages. Also by the doors they may have gotten the cold drafts after warming. Do the look like a whitish color over most of the needles?

If you check the Mid Atlantic website, if not already there, there will be club contact info available. Yama Ki, and there is also a club in New Haven.

Did you see the sweet little twisted Junis, that Bill had ?

Don't pinch off the tips. Don't pinch off the tips. Take this to a work shop somewhere.

Gauges, chisles, and knives, the concave cutter is for raw cuts, sphericals too.

Great festival this year. The artists were fantastic, accessible, friendly, and good at teaching bonsai. The vendors area was packed to the gills. Bill had some nice goodies, I got some seedlings from him. A Sara Raynor pot from Pauline Muths booth, assorted tools, and left assorted drools, as...

[I am going too , I am part of the Board running it. We should make an effort to meet each other. Put a little BNut on your name tags. I am with the club from Springfield.

I will leave it at, I wish I had seen this in writing before I made an attempt at this, would have made a huge difference, HUGE. Spot on Al, spot on. At one point I was seeing if the majority of the tree would snap off, but I stopped and used the whole thing. Later Charles Cerronnio asked...

The bark doesn't really slime either. Look For article by Colin Lewis, and search the threads here, there are enough pages to keep you reading for a while. A common soil now is straight pumice and lava, no organics, and it works well. Find Collins article.

I saw this yesterday Later on hit the road and talked with a customer about the work they were doing. In the middle of the conversation I looked over to where they had been digging and ended leaving with this. Guessing milk but could have been cream I guess, it from an old local dairy, Asselins...

Friends of mine growing up had to go to the yard to get mom or dad a switch if they did bad things. HUGE deterrent. I mean I watched him toss out a branch that was too small, saying he would get it worse if the switch wasn't going to fit the punishment. I am a firm believer that children...

Ron was a popular guy on the bonsai interwebs

This past winter Voles got to 24 trees in my cold frame, 7 procumbens Nana were eaten completely down to the last needle star. Fortunately they came back. J BP all needles eaten, azaleas, maples, dawn redwood. If they need food or water, your trees are not safe. Fat little buck tooth bass...

Old Juni, Probably a little late for the predig trenching, the cold id just around the corner, unless it is a well protected spot. Check Nick Lenz book, Collecting bonsai from the Wild, and build a big box to grow it in. May need a couple of friends too.

Someone I know grows a lot of stock using rootmaker grow bags, with great success. Not for pulling trops every year, but it could fit the bill for this. I have seen another garden that has hardy banana's, in the ground and dozens of probably 25 gal pots of various large tropical plants...

The smell will be there no matter what. Rather than leave the stuff about, to be stolen by whatever critter it might be, I make a tea. You can use your favorite what ever it might be, I make a mix these days, and water it in frequently. Some of the ingredients I have been using of late are (...

Now that there is f.............. ;):D:cool::eek:

Good luck getting permission to take trees after all the fires.

A finished bonsai, is a dead bonsai. That's when you stop wiring. Have to disagree, this will need a lot of wiring. Not wiring it leaves it as a bush in a pot. Wiring gives the finished look to the trees we strive for. Not wiring it is quitting. This will look so much better thinned and...

You can't move them when they are in the ground??????? Chances are if these are potted up after digging( ie remove the soil and change to bonsai soil) they will probably be firewood for this winter.

A variation of needle cast, I think.Fungicides help.

It's easy to over water once the leaves are gone.
