identification

This tree is three years old, grown from a seed. Not sure what species because it was supposed to be an olive but that is not the case. Thanks!

I am new to bonsai and I bought this one the other week and the shop didnt know what tree it was.

Just picked this little up at Walmart this morning. It didn’t have a name tag on it but for the price I could t pass it up. If anyone could help me identify it so I can tack care of the way it needs would be very helpful

Hi all! I have no idea what this monster tree is but it’s deciduous here in the UK. There’s not much to identify it by, just the bark but I’m sure someone out there knows! Thanks for the future replies! Ben

Hello- I am new to this forum and a very new fan of bonsai. A friend of mine recently gave me this plant because she no longer wanted it. She did not know what is, but I think that it may be a wisteria plant. Can someone confirm if this seems to be correct? I plan on removing the decorative...

I collected another juniper today that I believed was and Ashe juniper but on closer inspection I believe it is a redberry juniper. The foliage looks a bit different and the bark is definitely not as dark as Ashe juniper. If anyone can verify ID I would appreciate it! Either way it’s a great...

Hello again! I'm very excited to announce I have purchased another bonsai (maybe I should wait a little longer to make sure I'm sticking with this hobby?... Nah). I actually feel pretty proud of this one, because I've seen similar trees online sell for more. Obviously I'm sure there is a quality...

I’ve seen a lot of threads in which people have uncertainty of tree identification based on bud appearance. Here are some good photos from my yard to help folks. Unless noted these are all mature buds from the fall. If you contribute to this thread then please use enough keywords that people...

Hi all, I bought a pine from a local nursery, however the label said just 'pine'. Anyone got an idea what kind of pine this is exactly. It's a two needle pine. Maybe the visible cone can provide the necessary info? And while we at it; any ideas for a design?

Does anybody know what type of tree this is? I haven't seen one like it before. Thanks for the help :)

There are 4 big, beautiful maple trees on my new property. Hoping for help identifying them, please? All pics were taken this month, and all of these trees are at least 40 years old (Hoping to start some air layers in the spring.) Maple #1 -- Leaves are all deep red in the spring, and as...

I purchased this tree earlier this summer from a woman on Craigslist. She couldn't remember which type of Japanese Maple it was. What do you think it is? Thanks in advance :) Attached are pictures of: newly opened leaves; whole tree; mature leaf

I purchased a couple of cotoneasters, "Tom Thumb" and "Little Dipper". The first thing I did when I got them home was to rip the tags off. (I know, kind of dumb.) One has smaller leaves than the other but I do not remember which is which. Can someone please help?

Hi, I'm new to bonsai trees and have no experience with them whatsoever. My father just brought me home this bonsai and I'm trying to look up some information on care etc. However I have no idea what kind of tree it is, there was no tag or anything with it just the price and 'small bonsai'...

Few questions to help with my research... I have these little guys in the past pics come up in the pastures and my growing areas of the yard. Based on my research, central Texas has a lot of cedar elm trees, so I'm assuming that is what these are; but hoping someone can verify this for me. I've...

Hello everyone (: I just got a Norway Pusch Spruce that I am hoping to slowly make into a bonsai. It has a ton of small little white mites crawling all around the soil and seemingly burrowing and hiding in the cracks of the bark. I got the tree at a discount in hopes of saving it but the tree...

Hi All, I am new to Bonsai care. I’ve bought this tree today and I’m wanting to identify it’s species for ideal care & maintenance. Can anyone help? I’ve looked on many bonsai identification websites and can’t find anything similar. Any tips will be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

So my brother-in-law gave me this bonsai because he claimed it was too far gone to fix. I KNOW it isn't but I also know that I don't know how to fix it. I figured this was the best place to ask since I have absolutely zero experience in this stuff. Three questions for the experts: 1. Is it a...

Chinese elm by cole morton posted Aug 31, 2017 at 12:53 AM I recently purhased this Chinese Elm. These black lumps span the entire length of the trunk. If anyone could tell me what these are I would be very appreciative, as I have found nothing online so far

Hello I have had this tree for about two years and I'm wanting to know the exact species? Also if anyone has and ideas for the tree I wouldn't mind hearing ideas. The second photo is what I hope for the front of the tree.

Does anyone have an idea of the name of the cultivar of this Japanese Maple? If it's too early to say, I'll post new pictures when the leaves have unfolded. Thanks!

I was given seeds approximately 2 years ago and these 6 trees/plants sprouted. The person that gave me the seeds believed they were giant sequoias. After a little research I'm not sure that this is the case. I'm new to bonsai and need help from some more experienced person.

Hi, I'm new to this website and I'd really like some help with the tree that I just received yesterday. Somebody gave it to me, and they got it from a mall, so I don't think I can really do much but keep it healthy. However, if possible, I would like to make it more aesthetically pleasing, clean...
