Why is it some trees should have morning only sun or afternoon/eve only sun? I have never noticed in nature any tree species hiding in specific shadows.

wow!! simply superb

The look of pride on your face is unmistakable and rightly so she is beutiful.

I find more than enough copper wire cleaning up at festivals to be able to supply all my bonsai needs and make a fair parcel of cash at the scrappy.

this is the kind of thread that really gives me inspiration cheers muchly.

that's awesome i used to live in a tree house so haveve often thought about a bonsai tree house though on a much smaller scale. I'm definetly going to share that photo

I use wash basins there ideal for larger trees and for smaller trees small mushroom crates

surely if i succsfully root the branches then keep on top of removing all growth from said branches they would look like roots, an illusion, I think what i really need to know is if the branches rooted would they then provide nutrients too the tree ?? there is one branch on the tree which has...

i'm happy with where the branches are if they were roots not branches. It would change what has the potential to be a good into the potential to be a stunning tree.

most folding shovels are not strong enough however an army fold up trenching tool will take a lot more punishment and is my prefered tool for going any distance to collect.

i do the very same thing for the very same reason another trick is the crap bonsai they sell in garden centres usually get reduced in price at end of summer to about £4 each and sometimes you get the bonus of one of the trees being worth working on.

Hopefully I'm sick of watching other people eat our cake.

when i get my camera fixed i will post photo and you will see why i want to root the lower branches. I got the two words mixed up because i was v tired, a little ill, very hungry and dealing with 6 screaming kids while trying to post a question.

sorry i got branches and roots the wrong way round what i want to do is turn my lower branches into roots.

I was wanting to turn the lower roots of my blackthorn into branches would i just simply go about it as if im layering them for cutting ? Any advice however obvious would be appreciated better to re-read what i know than miss out on something simple i may have missed.

I was wondering if it would be helpful to give my cherry a potash feed just before the flower buds start to swell. Or would it not make any difference as the buds have already formed.

Out walking round loch lomond earlier I found 2 really nice hazel with nice shallow radial roots with a decent girth about 1.5 feet in height. They are both extremely healthy and robust and i was wondering on their suitability as bonsai.

(judy)my friend is now visiting the place and i know that i know the guy from somewhere but can't think where. But it's set me to thinking of doing a similar thing to the chair except a display table for bonsai.

A friend of mine sent me these photo's and i thought have to share them here.

When i read the title of this thread i thought bonsai with christmas decorations which i thought would be a bit crass. I did think wether it was a good idea to try and use old christmas tree's last year when i saw how many live ones people threw in the bin. I might collect some of them this...

that's 2 of the funniest things i have seen all week;):confused: but they both leave me with one reaction why ????

I read in a book that if you wrap the bark in damp moss for a year or to it ages the bark. So i tried it with a hawthorn i was planning on planting back out in the wild. It certainly seemed to make the bark more gnarly after a year than the other hawthorn i had as a control. May have been...

Nice rock (rather phallic though), nice tree. I think your choice of rock and tree will make a very harmonious unit. This to me has a lot of promise

Thats a stunning tree and may answer my question about what kind of tree i found in the nursery a couple of month's back. The bark is identical and the leaves almost so but the leaves do not appear to be shedding or even changing to autumn colour. Apart from that there is no difference. Could...
