No.

If this is your work it is very interesting and unique. Haven’t seen anything like it The problem is that there have been folks that come here and start sellling from their first post. It’s not easy to telll who’s a scammer and who’s honest. Keep posting example of your work and, if you have...

Rocks are far too small. They’re all pretty boring shapes. Texture is fine. Bigger (like a lot) three times the size what have here. Trees grow. Rocks don’t. You don’t want to have a tree that swallows its rock in three years…

The short answer is none will most likely ignore the warmth. Exiting dormancy is driven by root temperatures. Unseasonable heat warms the earth and roots. All will advance into new growth stages but at different rates. The species that bud out earliest could bud out earlier if not now then at...

It’s worth saying the buds and roots are safe from freezing weather AS LONG AS THE LEAF EDGES ON THE BUDS HAVENT PULLED AWAY from the bud even if the bud shows some color Unfortunately the separation only has to be barely perceptible. Once the leaf edges become visible deciduous trees roots lose...

In other words the coming warm up may not be enough to open buds but it could put some trees in the starting blocks for the NEXT Warm up.

If you’re on the east southeast and gulf coasts the coming warm up is not good if you’ve got overwintering trees. The temps will be warm enough long enough to get some trees started pushing new growth. Doesn’t mean they’ll push new green growth but will be able to advance to more advanced stages...

The different types of bark are typical for elms. Stronger shoots develop patches of bark. Not a big deal. Can be more pronounced in some species, less so in others.

Frankly I’d leave the tree at home. They are mostly too small and insubstantial to do much with. Not trying to be a jerk but putting a Jin on such small stock trees is not a great idea. Just going and watching the class might be more instructive.

He’s selling on Facebook. I found this one second hand though through Bonsai Learning Center. His work sells pretty quickly. Artwork is spectacular. Don’t know if I’d use it with an actual tree though.

Maybe maybe not. Can depend on soil/root temps over the years I’ve become more middle of the road in recommending Carolina Hornbeam as bonsai material. It becomes less root hardy once containerized and can suddenly give up the ghost or suffer dieback after particularly harsh winters...

Not as vigorous a grower as Carolina hornbeam. Will back bud from hard chops but I agree that leaving trunk a little longer to give more room for them to pop is a good idea. Hard prune to shorten those longer trunks as buds appear over the following years after the tree recovers Goes without...

Carpinus Coreana/turcaninovii. Smallest leaves of most any hornbeam. Leaves are Small initially and reduce even more. Capable of Dense heavy ramification. Can produce very fine fall color with orange and red. Drawback is slow healing on chops and some (extreme) sun sensitivity. Also not very...

Also glaze inside the pot is a waste of glaze as you point out. The interior isn’t Visible so why apply inside.

The answer is not really in a written definition. The term was taken from artwork depicting trees. Nanga paintings from the Tokugawa and Edo periods in particular set images of “literati” pines. A lot more is being said with literati pines in particular. Pines are a symbol of longevity and...

Cascade POTS are not easy to maintain--drainage is unpredictable and can lead to some unique problems with the trees in them. The top dries out much more quickly that the lower portions, as the deeper the pot, the faster the drainage. That can mean the top roots dry out faster than those lower...

Depends on where the elm is coming from. If the native elm is already containerized and small, things might be ok. But the OP is looking to collect. That adds another layer of difficulty. One of which is knowing what you’re digging up. (Pet peeve here - the “I just dug this up. What is it?”...

I would caution strongly against collecting any trees at this point. It complicates things tremendously and needlessly. I would strongly second getting an established easy to care for first tree (Chinese elm or ficus for the most part). Learn what is required to care for them and keep it alive...

In your area Yaupon Holly, Bald Cypress, winged elm (or any kind of native elm) are great candidates. All are forgiving of mistakes and grow vigorously.

Everything is performative these days. Can’t just fade away— have to make a show of it.

don’t know what the OP ran into but beginners often mistake honesty for cruelty. They run smack into posts that challenge their pat assumptions and take that challenge as insult. Happens over and over again. Even back in “the bad old days”

I wouldn’t give a bonsai as a gift to a first timer. It’s exactly like giving them a puppy. Added responsibilities and a burden may not want An artificial bonsai might be a place to start. Lego makes several kits for about the price of a mallsai. Also look on etsy eBay etc for wire bonsai...
