ok, cool. Would not want to have 300 BCs go airborne in the process.

They might kill somebody.

The kinetic energy of Batman at 50 kg moving at 100 km/h is equivalent to a 50 cal bullet. So yeah, the BC can kill somebody.

While waiting for my BC delivery from @Cajunrider , I helped this poor little guy cool down. He made his self at home in the garage on the cool floor in front of the fans and I gave him some water and some kibble along with an ice cold wet towel. He must have ran away last night during the fireworks. Poor little fella was burning up!

I fully defoliated my Chinese elm that has black leaf disease, took way too long. In unrelated news I have a Chinese elm for sale.

Well you know your trees will be fine either way. Also even if it will rain, I still water my trees unless we get a half an inch or more. Less than that might not be enoughGoing on a vacation tomorrow.

Love the Diphasiastrum digitatum, running cedar. Have tried to transplant it without success.
Putting a bird feeder near the bonsai I fear will be like a neon sign and attract more birds - foods here come and get it, and while your waiting for your turn at the feeder, you can snack at the bonsai bar.
My Elm has recovered from the black spot.

Ceiling fans and 5 times a day water. 
Here's why...
Here's why...
Yes, my first attempt to gather clubmoss. I made sure I got the nodes with roots and put it in the shade in sandy soil pretty close to the invironment I got it from. We'll see...
My son tried last year and it looked fine through the winter and then got fried in the spring...

Finally got up the gumption to start on a Plan for the big Blue Atlas Cedar I bought two months ago and have been dreading chopping since - I just loved how tall it was, but the taper wasn't really there. I still ended up being a bit of a coward with the first couple of (far more drastic cut-back) suggestions for it and settled on this. Still need to do some further branch selection and wiring, but this felt like enough for right now.
Before:
First cut (ouch!):
Second cut:
Setting up for some jin later:
On the upside, it was a lot easier getting it in the car to get home after... >_>;;

Unless the ceiling fans are for you so you can stay cool while working on your trees, they’re probably increasing transpiration without contributing anything of importance. If you turn them off, you might not have to water 5 times a day.
