Just saying hello

[Mr GeaRbOx]

Hello!

Just wanted to say hello to all the fellow bonsai enthusiasts out there! I've been lurking for a while and figured it was time to make an account and a few posts. I got my first tree in December (as an adult, had one when i was 12 but killed it post haste) and i have been "developing" it since. I use that term loosely in this context as I have now learned quite a deal more. Plan on making a thread on it for fellow (overzealous) newbies.

And a big thank you to all who take the time to post helpful information and promote bonsai as a whole.

~Gear

Welcome, hope that you enjoy this site as much as I do. I have found this site to have tons of information and really helpful knowledgeable people. It is a pleasure to access to this type and amount of information and help.

Welcome Gear, hope to see you post up your trees. I know you have one now, but that won't last long!

Thank you J Evans. I enjoy it greatly and agree wholeheartedly with your comment.

Thank you Judy. Oh you're a mind reader. I have quite a few but they are all from nursery stock and only a few months in my care. More "practice trees" if anything to learn the technical aspect. Also, i live in the desert and have no illusions about the task I have undertaken (we've already had 90 degree days and 30-40mph winds). I should have a post up later tonight.

Welcome to the crack house...by this time next year you'll have more trees than you can shake a stick at...and sometimes that stick is what's left of your first tree.

Welcome, fellow desert rat. I live in Baja Sur, Mexico. Near the tip of the peninsula. I have had to leave many temperate species behind altogether. No cold dormancy. A whole new experience!
