Camo turds suck!

Great tree, Danny! Personally, I like option B as the front, although it can be difficult not seeing it in person. This reminds me of the Blue Spruce that I bought from Todd Schlafer at PBE last fall. I repotted it with Adam Toth this spring. Your styling of this has me itching to style it...

My teacher, Adam Toth, has started a YouTube channel. Adam apprenticed under Taiga Urushibata. Taiga was Ryan Neil's senpai (senior apprentice) during his apprenticeship with Kimura. Adam specializes in shohin bonsai and has a shohin certificate from the Japanese Shohin Bonsai Association. Check...

Excellent material and nice work 👍🏻

Yeah, it happens to the best of us. Stick with it, though. It's very rewarding. Joining my local club is the best thing I ever did in this hobby. I learned more in two years than I did the previous nine doing it on my own.

Shohin Olive in Thomas Arakawa pot

In new pot by Thomas Arakawa from @Eric Schrader at Bonsaify

I had tried placing like 20+ grafts on this Juniper in February of 2024. We'll, not a single one of them survived 🤦‍♂️. This year, I really wanted to get this tree moving in the direction I envisioned. I couldn't risk wasting another year with failed grafts, so I had Peter Tea do the grafting...

I agree with you about the link of a link thing. We can go down rabbit holes on the internet and can find virtually any talking point that agrees with and supports our own. The conspiracy theory crowd has proven this point to a tee. As far as the broom with a central leader thing is concerned...

It's linked on the page that BWayneF shared previously. An account of someone who visited Kimura's garden https://www.ausbonsai.com.au/blog/Watto/?p=178

Looks like Kimura calls this tree a broom that seems to have a central leader. I think I'll take his word for it

Looks like a broom style in the making to me, an informal one at the very least. I think we sometimes get too caught up in the rules and nomenclature. FWIW I appreciate you not naming this thread "The Chinese Elm". I think that is pretty arrogant regardless of how nice your tree is or what it's...

Love that Elm and seeing all the Aussie natives! Thanks for sharing, Shibui

Pretty cool to hear a bonsai story on NPR. Happy 400th Birthday, Yamaki Pine! https://www.npr.org/2025/05/19/nx-s1-5383306/bonsai-survived-hiroshima-bombing-anniversary

I agree. If your goal is to make shohin, I'd get the small ones and put some tight bends in them. Yes, they will take longer to achieve a size that makes a nice bonsai, but they will have the character that makes them more desirable.

Oh, man! I finally got the OG one this last Xmas. Damn you, Lego!! Now I'm gonna have to buy this one now.

Picked up a copy of Jonas' book. It's excellent!

We learn something with whichever course we take in this hobby. There's nothing wrong with being conservative.

I would have been more aggressive with the chop on that left-hand trunk and the roots (and also buried them deeper). I get it, though. It sounds like you're relatively new to this and you just bought the thing... You don't want to kill it straight away. This more conservative approach should...

Great thread idea. I've been on BNut since 2010 (some years more than others), but I've always appreciated that we have this virtual platform to share our love of all things bonsai. There have been other forums that have come and gone over the years, but BonsaiNut seems to be in it for the...

It's an oldie, but a goodie
