I plucked enough to show the structure off a little. I went ahead and cut the smaller of the branches I asked for opinions on. It emerged from the large branch anyway, so that was really not even a question. The second branch is too ramified in comparison to the first branch so it will be...

Here are a few pictures of a tree I have been working for a while. I have a few choices for the first branch, the larger stub with a nice secondary branch already in place or the smaller branch originating from right above the original branch. I am tempted to cut the small branch off and give...

Do it!!!! That new front looks much better

I have one of these layer trees. It is VERY vigorous and the nebari is awesome!

Eric, Where do you live? I am guessing south east US. The pictures are a tad blurry, but it appears to be a satsuki Is it growing in your yard? Do you have to collect it this spring? What size bonsai do you want this to be? What size is it now? As to where the cuts should be, the second...

I bought one of Mr. Muranaka's layered JBP's. I am very happy with it! Read his blog, he talks about how he does it in there.

I protect mine from temps of 50 degrees or less.

Very nice video

Nice trees! I bought an air layered JBP from Mr. Muranaka last year, couldn't be happier with it.

I agree with rockm about the left leader. I think the lower branch you question looks good in spring, but it does seem a little out of place when dormant. I would have to do a lot of looking at the tree with a cloth covering that branch to make a decision. Good Luck with your choice.

Vic, thank you for answering my questions. I am going to use this technique next year.

I just found this thread and am wondering how the grafts are doing? I see the grafts were done in July of last year, do you recommend this time of year for warmer climates or would spring be better for florida?

Update ..... I bit the bullet and cut the trunk down, I still need to taper the very top of the trunk to blend the taper in better. Then start growing branches to fill the tree out. Thanks again Brent for growing such superior material!

Sorry for hijacking your thread, that was not my intent. I got this as a gift from a club member to say thank you for working on her trees. It was in a 55 gallon drum when I got it, I did not dig it from the ground. I cut the top off in August 2006, repotted it in late December of the same...

The back bud well, don't be afraid to chop it. Here is a picture of a tree I am working on This picture was taken 5 months after I cut the trunk perpindicular to the nebari. There was not a single branch below where I cut it.

Very nice, thanks for sharing with us

Mary Madison is living in the area of lake Placid, that is south of Sebring. She belongs to the ShoFu society in Sarasota. I agree with Bonsaimon about finding locals to talk to. If you are near the Tampa club, you would be wise to join it, they have many knowledgable and well respected members...

My ex father in law has a trunk from one of his plants as a coat rack in his bedroom, the plant was massive!!

Thanks for the reply

I am posting a couple of pictures of a juniper I have been growing on for a few years. The first one is how the tree has been left, the branches have been pulled down to let light into the interior of the tree while growing the potential jin branches larger. The second picture is what I trimmed...

re Oh and smell that sarchasm............

I am guessing they read the same paragraph over and over again. Not that I would know anything about that what so ever. hmmmm, I wonder how the newspaper industry is doing in the netherlands?

very nice looking pottery!
