Bonsai fever

[c54fun]

Is there such a thing called bonsai fever? I may have it.

Is that a Bradford pear? Did you trim it because of previous wind or ice damage?

Nice, Next spring you could trench around where the white bricks are and get it ready to pot up spring of 2018!

Bradford pair. Lighting hit it. Took half the tree off. All the weight was leaning into the neighbors tree. Need a big pot.

That's crazy!

I collected a 30-35 year old ultra dwarf pear early this summer and it didn't even realize it, it actually got happier! Pears are tough, in all acuality you probably could dig this up and pot it and it would be fine.lol

Maybe I could put a fake pot around the base. Cut the pot in half and hollow out the onside. That would look crazy. Fill it with dirt and a top coat of lava rock.

What's the opposite of shohin?

Mammut? Heh, my mother's disallowed me to prune her fruiting trees in the garden. I can't understand why...

Yeah I got that fever. Got a fever for anything flat top to. This is a flowering cherry and a wild guava in my front yard. Trim them every spring...

 

[c54fun]

That's awesome. You DO have the fever for sure. Love flat tops. They look great. I bet the guava grows fast. The cherry is fantastic.

[Giga]

Nope, all except of us are weird...

Walking downtown with my wife, she asked:"Have you seen that blond girl with a thick legs?"
Answered:"No darling, I was looking at the lines and thick trunk of that maple over there and it's small leaves..."

 

[c54fun]

Haa haa. My girlfriend wanted a aloe vera plant. Ordered a nice looking one off ebay. "you will receive plant in picture" Wrong!!! Anyhow I could help but to laugh as I found something to put it in and mite as well make it wind swept I laugh when I see it.

Hmm, hard to find a container for that one.

 

[eferguson1974]

Its not a fever. Its an addiction. Much harder to "cure"...

It needs more movement in de lower trunk, maybe bend it a bit
