    Big Trees Sugar Hackberry… from cuttings? Air layer?

    I have a cluster of Sugar Hackberry trees in my front yard that need to be cut down. They are each 3-6 inches thick at the trunk, they are 30 feet tall or so. Is there a good way / are these suitable for trying to root from big cuttings? I think the root ball (cluster) is way too big to use...

    Looking forward to collecting a few trees this spring! As I am new to bonsai I figured I’d get some input on which ones are worth collecting and which ones are probably not worth the trouble. 1• Buckley oak (Quercus buckleyii) 2• Rusty blackhaw (Viburnum rufidulum) 3• Gum bumelia (Sideroxylon...

    Little celtis sinensis

    I was cleaning these up tonight and I thought I would snap a quick pic. About a year ago I got some pretty good size Chinese Hackberry starters. I cut the entire tap root off in some cases this left very little rootage. Then I stuffed them tight against the bottom of a 3" pot where they have...
