I always find it flower like crazy but the flowers only last a day or two before they turn brown I have no idea whey

 

[RickMartin]

i just want to see it flower. then i will pull them off. flowers will use energy that another part of the tree can use. certian ones will fruit also but dont think mine will.

Rick

Yeah the small leave variety will flower, mine flowers all the time just a few at a time bit in summer it flowers constantly there could be a hundred flowers a t a time its haed to take them all off

 

[RickMartin]

I heard they can flower alot. It was to late in the year when I got mine so we will see. But I know its getting repotted in the spring. I hate this pot its in

Rick

 

[b0ns@1]

What kind of lot are you thinkin of going with?

 

[RickMartin]

Something not as deep. I haven't decided on color yet.

Rick

 

[b0ns@1]

I like dark glossy colours with them maybe a dark blue or navy would be good with it

 

[RickMartin]

What I was thinking also. Maybe a really light green

Rick

 

[b0ns@1]

Yeah I think you right I just googled light green pots and found some nice ones that I think would work

[RickMartin]

yeah now thats what im looking for..beats that pot its in now. Im sure that pot would look good with something else, but not this tree.

Rick

 

[b0ns@1]

Yes I agree bit I dint know what kind of tree I would put in the old pot maybe a juniper cascade would look good if you have any junipers that need a repot in spring

 

[RickMartin]

i have pleanty of junipers needing repotting this spring so maybe i will use it for that.
thanks for the tip.

Perfect, that's what I love about bonsai, if one thing doesn't work one way it can be used in another, and you can plan months or years ahead of what you want

 

[b0ns@1]
