oh yeee of little faith. lol.

Fwiw. This larch has been growing extremely well. Very vigorous grower. I'm not overly concerned about the amount of folliage and root mass cut back. All of these larches get fed and watered very well, and the peat/lava/pumice mixture seem to keep them quite happy as well. I'm looking...

Glad to see you're making sure we behave :P

I've been doing experiments like that with some Bilobed Grewia cuttings. I heard to treat them like a trident. I heard they do fine in a cold frame. I hear they do great in tropical conditions. Well by process of seeing which cuttings live, I've narrowed it down to ... treat them like a...

I second Lee Valley. The smaller rosettes from the little 2 litre red Haws are a lot more delicate than the larger ones. The small ones fit on large Haws cans no problem.

@leatherback @Forsoothe! @sorce Thanks for posting these. I should have been a little bit clearer with this thread, as it was set up with haste and I didn't make it clear from the get go. It's a bit of a learning curve. In these threads within the Toronto Bonsai Society page, we are hoping...

With all the self isolation going on and club meetings being cancelled for the next foreseeable future, we thought it would be a great idea to give our club members another opportunity to connect, ask questions and share projects aside from our Facebook page. Since there's a good community on...

Did you repot it? Wire it? Style it? Build it? Post your photos here!! Photos posted here are not for critique purposes. If you would like feedback on a particular project, please start a separate thread. This is our show and tell thread. Have fun and enjoy! *EDIT* 04/03/20 - IF YOU...

Thank you for setting this up for us! I hope it becomes a good virtual meeting spot for our club as well as a space for valuable information!

Hello all. We have had quite a number of new members sign up over the past few months. This is for you! If beginners and new members from the Toronto Bonsai Society have some questions, we might have answers! Feel free to write them here!

lol. That works!! Definatly not what you expected digging it up, but 100$ all of them will sprout! have fun!

Augustish Depends where you live.

At that age, you can wire it whenever you want really. Bend it real good. As the tree ages and thickens the strong angles will soften up visually. Now is the time to start introducing that movement.

Do you want to keep the deadwood and accentuate it? or do you want the tree to roll over the deadwood area? If you want to keep the deadwood, it will be an ongoing battle. Most important part is to keep it away from moisture, and it seems that your mix is fairly well draining so it should...

That's a great tree that I've been admiring from a distance. One of the thuja's accepted to the nationals is in the pics I posted. Not going to say which one.. lol.. I am excited that there will be a 20 year progression, presentation of said tree at our next club meeting. I hear it's gonna...
