You Know Your A Bonsai Nut If...

[J P]

You find the best front, set the structure, and prune your Christmas tree while your family is waiting to decorate...

Even worse if the tree is artificial...

Just thought I would see if anyone wants to play along.

Hope everyone has a joyous holiday season.

...if your wife gets angry every Xmas because she doesn't "like buying you big bags of dirt for Christmas"....
She means lava and pumice....

If you can’t take a walk in the woods without checking every tree for nebari and taper.

My husband said he won't buy me dirt for Christmas either. I can buy it...that isn't gift material. (Bonsai substrate) ? oh I bet they could get together and tell stories.

If you tree is on the front porch instead of the living room to keep it healthy. Kanaan Fir in burlap in a pot to be brought in for Christmas Eve only.

As of late...along the side of my house is a stretch of flowerbeds. The final end tree in that bed is an American wisteria. The canopy slants to the outside. Where in bonsai it should point toward the beds not away from it. It's slightly bothersome...in my mind. But it is taking on a nice triangle shape canopy with pruning.

If your porch collapses and kills more than 2 bonsai.

My wife and I don’t really have space for a Christmas tree in our tiny dormitory, but I have trees in pots, so I decorate those instead. So our “Christmas tree” can only be viewed at night when I bring it inside to stand on the desk for us to enjoy. Part of the bedtime routine is to take the chosen tree outside again because there’s no tone to do that during the morning rush

You’re a Bnut when you open this on Christmas morning.

And everyone thinks you received this.

And if you don’t know what the second item is? You live in the good part of town!!!

I have a completely useless college degree in English, so yeah, that bothers me too.

If you were more excited about getting a couple little bougies from Wigert's with the minimum bid on eBay on your birthday, than the diamond earrings from your husband.

- if you see a 30 ft tree and wish you had a shrink ray to make it fit in that shohin display.

-if the people around you are suddenly drawn to the hobby because they see your passion.
They may not know about bonsai at all but they have a favorite tree in your collection.
They don’t grow small trees at all, and never heard of bnut but they have added several of your fb friends because they hear you talk so much about the hobby they already feel like they know those people too. They go buy a book on bonsai and soon they are starting cuttings of their own.

Was it by chance my post? If so please use that college degree to educate me and put it to use. I don’t want to annoy anybody. I’m just a dumb miner that likes to grow trees and would love to post in correct english.

I think it’s how you say it.
Solid look in the eye -look away
Draw fixed gaze into the distance then, “your welcome”

head nod, proceed

like koan to the stone

If, when you buy rosemary plants in spring because they don't survive winter in your zone, you look at all the little pots of rosemary to find the one with the best trunk
