Alright folks, I've been eye-balling these short needle pines for a while, out at my grandparents house. They have some on an adjacent property that I plan on digging up this coming winter, that are a good height, but then there are a couple that would make better air layer candidates. Does...

Any word on the Windows version? I'd like to get it on my computer at home, I hate using my phone screen for things.

I'm going to be changing things on it...lol.. I may even decide to do something completely different with it. But right now, I'm letting it recover.

That Penjing idea might actually look pretty neat... I'm going to see how it responds to collecting, and give it a couple years of growth to see where it wants to go. but getting low buds on those trunks is what I'm hoping for currently, that way I have more material to choose from in the...

By "left trunk," do you mean the larger of the two (the main trunk with the large tap root underneath) or the smaller of the two (the one coming off from the hollowed ground level trunk with small roots under it)?

Found in the swamp near my grandfathers house (I get most of my trees from this area. Lol) It's been put into a tub of potting soil for now.

That's pretty cool. I am always looking for neat trunks with hollow knots...LOL.

I'm in Baton Rouge, Louisiana now and am learning our locals. But here's the list I can think of currently that I've seen. Chinese Elm (used as a roadside tree downtown, there are thousands of seedlings along the sidewalks right now.) Bald Cypress And as far as the evergreen goes; Yaupon...

I do need to treat it, because it's starting/has been rotting. Hopefully I can get some good guidance with the local club here in Baton Rouge.

Here it is in it's cement tub. I have the tub sitting on 4x4's in order to allow it to drain without water standing underneath.

Some pictures of it in the pot I transported it to my house in, and some close ups of it's trunk. Look at the character that's there... (There are two dead limbs that will need to be removed, and some dead trunk that I will need to figure something out with. And I need to take a soft bristled...

A little back story on this plant... My grandfather, long ago, ran a nursery and landscaping business out of his house, at one time he had over 1000 azalea bushes growing on his property. The ones I used to run around, hide in, and jump out to scare my siblings, mom, and aunts, still line a...

It's been a while. I need to get my hands on some legitimate bonsai soil instead of the regular potting soil I've been using, but I didn't want this tree to have too vertical of root growth, so I made this grow box out of a tote that my father had laying around and placed it in there. I remember...

I do want focus on that trunk. And would like it to be about the hight it currently is, maybe slightly taller, though I hear that A.rubrum leaves don't reduce well. That will most likely pose a problem. But, my current issue is trying to figure out where exactly I wish to have the main limbs...
