    Cold greenhouse drip trays...

    Old cafeteria trays work well, sturdier and less expensive than the boot trays. Tom

    American Hornbeam - USDA says it doesn't transplant well?

    Brian, Here in Northern Kentucky and southern Ohio, we have members in our club (Bonsai Society of Greater Cincinnati) that grow and collect American Hornbeam with great success. I have not seen any problems with collecting, removing most heavy roots and repotting. If you collect in the spring...

    Cleaning Pine Bark

    Thanks John, I guess there are no magical formulas to eliminate the moss and clean the trunk. I will try the vinegar and water approach. I thought that I saw something from Walter Pall that referenced an acid based cleaner. Tom

    Cleaning Pine Bark

    Mendocino Pygmy Cypress

    Attila, I'm glad that you were able to pick up a couple of the cypress. It sounds like your two came from the same batch as mine. You are correct about the trunks. They look very old and have very nice deadwood. There are a couple of these trees in a recent book. I think it is North American...
