On the topic of price, I had the chance to use a $300 dollar pair of snips vs a $10 pair of chinese snips. I am getting a pair of $300 snips...

It wil be interesting actually getting to try one of these tools. I brought a tool worth about $180 ($200 US) and saw the difference in both quality and ease of use over the cheaper kitchen utensils and cheap chinese knob cutter I had. Good tools give better finish to an artists vision than...

Didn't John clown and hector hack that forum and claim it was an accident? Them and their little bum buddies tried getting me banned from Ausbonsai, when it failed they threatened to kick my head in, hack my bnut account, spammed pm's to others with abuse and again threatened to kick my head...

knowing very little about such displays.... Should the scroll (or the tree) be a little over so they are not over lapping at all?

just to stir it up.. This thread sucks..

I am hoping to change direction again soon to "Is caek better than pie?"

I collect in winter and have not lost anything until the hot summer has hit. But my winters are rather mild only really having cold nights.

I have located a source in aus if anyone ahs interest.

Well with about 6 people wanting to beat me up, Im not sure whos for me or who's against me anymore...

And its why here in Aus we can freely pick up anything on the side of the road on hard rubbish weeks. Can find some good stuff sometimes.

Oh and solt, you still owe me those trident seedlings :)

Well, every cultivatar in Australia has copyright on it. It is to protect the breeder, so no one else can claim ownership. This means that each botanic garden has to pay to use the plant, unless its given by the breeder to the park. Now if you read your signs on entry to a botanic park it will...

That is a copy right issue dude, and one not winnable over here. I tried getting some permission to collect seed over here in our gardens, but got told its not a good idea as copyright infringement is a nasty issue. Clearing native land with permission is not that straight forward. There are...

You can remove any native on your land in which you planted. You need a permit for land clearing, and this is where you are able to obtain a permit to collect other tree's. Its expensive depending on how many tree's you want to take, but its possible to get that permission. The fine here if...

Interesting answers. I respect the Ettiquitte with collecting by always asking permission. I have found here in Aus you can get permission from the councils if you know how to ask and who to ask. I have seen a few people also get cuaght and taken home a pretty nice fine...

There is a small debate going on else where about collecting. Do you collect without out permission if you know you will be denied such permission or do you leave the tree where it is? What if the tree is a pest species?

Yeah, but the soil cant. It drys too fast and cooks the roots.

Where I live, I get about a month and a half of high 45 to 53 degrees celsius straight. If we are lucky a cooler say or two of 40 to 44. Here I have zelkova, wisteria, english elm, chinese elm, olive, ficus, aleppo pine, crepe myrtle, juniper, jade, Cherry (fruiting), Swamp cypress, English...

But in this case he is pretty well on the mark...

Yup its the same in Australia. Too much sugar coating the obvious. I make bad bonsai I wanna know about it, and ways to fix it (besides the over used "trunk chop it")...

but so does soft wood exposed to moist soil..

I have a number of wisteria cuttings of different sizes, anyone have trouble with rot on theirs and what did they do to combat it?

I have been given what I think is an Allepo pine, which has a rather thick trunk for the size pot its been in. I'm looking for some clarification and information on the species. It is a two needle pine, the needles are very thin. The tree is in a rubbish state, but I can see a few small...

I can not get to such place to see the techniques applied. Please give us some more information.
