Imperial Masterpiece
Just saying hello, and introducing myself. I've been aching to get into bonsai since I was first introduced to the concept as a little kid, but my parents didn't approve/take me seriously. So, flash forward a few decades and it's been fifteen or sixteen years since I tried growing a tree, and I'm in full obsessive mode now trying to make up for lost time, with the support of my wife surprisingly enough. Got back into it about a year ago.
I apparently have a penchant for doing things the hard way, starting with pinyon pines- I love the things. Can't seem to keep them alive for the life of me, damned transplant shock. So, anyone with some tips for a newb on an EXTREMELY TIGHT BUDGET, I'm all ears.
Don't expect me to be all over the place around here- I'm a lurker by profession- but I've come across enough info and humor that it seemed worthwhile to come out of the shadows.
Thanks for everything ahead of time.
