    Split in trunk

    My cell phone camera is crap so, trying not to sound like a moron...the split is between two branches, one which is the trunk...and another which could be the trunk with some wiring and patience, but is also a significant side branch. We are talking about 3/8 inch where the split occurs. As...

    Split in trunk

    Over the winter a Korean Hornbeam that I had planted in the ground suffered a split between the two top branches, probably due to heavy snow. I tried binding it and applying some cut paste but it didn't do anything. I have heard of people using crazy glue or some other glue to mend the break...

    here's a kiyohime

    If I remember reading correctly they say not to mess with the top of the tree cause it won't grow back correctly. Just worry about trimming the sides so it doesn't get out of hand.

    Catlin recovery

    Wow. I was surprised to see very little info here about Catlins. Even more so when I found no pics. But let me throw this out there anyway. I bought one last year - prebonsai about 10 inches tall. Also in the same pot was a shoot about 2 inches tall. I removed the shoot and just stuck it in...

    Trimming Thorns on Brazilian Rain Tree and Texas Ebony

    I just try to get enough off to eliminate getting stuck. Sometimes I cut off more than at other times. I haven't noticed any die back but I don't deliberately try to cut right next to the trunk either.

    Hornbeam problem

    I have 2 Korean Hornbeams. One is a forest of 7 trees that I got in April or May, the other a single specimen that I got in June. Both are from the same nursery. The owner (a bonsai enthusiast) put the forest together last year and also acquired the single speciment last year. Both seem to...
