Saw this on Reddit and figured I’d share here. Incredible collection of photos of trees in Japan from various gardens. https://www.thebonsaiproject.com/bonsai-images/

I have been half interested in getting a Stewartia for a few years. I’ve seen the pics of these wonderful specimens from Japan but rarely if ever saw them for sale in the US. Further inspired by Brian Van Fleets thread on his and wanting to get my hands on any Stewartia , I tried seeds two...

I thought it would be fun to create a list of things you do or have done over the years in your bonsai journey. The rules are, just add the next number and provide something you feel is either funny or necessary to say you do bonsai! Pics encouraged but not necessary. Maybe some posts will...

This popped up in my feed and frankly i couldn't wait to share it. Bnuts very own @MACH5 is a featured artist. I have a very fond memory of meeting and talking with Sergio through Bnut many years ago, becoming pals and meeting in person at this event to walk the exhibit together. His work speaks...

Atlas cedars make beautiful bonsai but it seems they are hard to find and slow to develop. I had a small prebonsai atlas years back that I killed quickly. Some bends combined with additional stress and dead it was. I don’t do garden center material anymore but found a bonsai grower who Had some...

The past two years of bonsai have been interesting in comparison to the years that came before them. I’ve not looked to add any trees and have been in reduction mode. I am now continuously looking to sell off trees in pursuit of a small collection of trees that not only do I think I can improve...

Ive had this One satsuki for less than a year and since I got it, it has never looked thrilled to be in my care. I’m getting an odd faded green browning leaf color, weak growth and browning dried buds. I repotted into something slightly larger this year and have let it be. While I know removing...

thoughts? If fungal, any recommended sprays? tree is new to me and is In free draining kanuma Kept in mostly shade.

Curious to know if any of you other bonsai folks are into watches as well... I work in a corporate setting and slacks, shirts and ties get old quick. I've always been a fan and have a good mix but have taken a stronger interest in them over the last 6 months. Not sure where the attraction comes...

No thread on this one yet so I figured I'd start one because this is a bonsai forum and I believe most people want to come here and see trees. Tree was purchased off ebay i think maybe 4 or 5 years ago. It came from Muranaka in Cali and frankly I think it is one of the better offerings he has...

There are so many varieties of Satsuki Azaleas that it can make your head spin. From what I've read there are some that are more cold hardy than others, there are some that are more vigorous growers than others and there are some that tolerate more sun than others. I'm particularly interested...

I was in Southern California for work last week and was able to stop in at Chikugo en on the way to the airport. I didn’t have a lot of time and the pics aren’t great but figured I’d share. I met the well known owner Gary who was very friendly. The nursery is compact but is filled with...

I bought this Itoigawa years back when it was quite small and put it in the ground. I think it was about the thickness of a marker in a one gallon container when I received it. Buying large developed material can get expensive, so it doesn't hurt to buy smaller stuff and plant out each year and...

When I got into this hobby in 2012 i purchased a lot of younger material over the next few years. Some lived, some died. I think I picked this one up in 2014 from Brent at Evergreen Gardenworks and it has been relatively problem free. It was young and thin, so I placed it in the ground for a few...

I made a bad purchase. And what’s worse is I knew it going in. I had heard the stories about the seller. I had seen the pics and I still talked myself into buying this tree. It’s a shit storm of faults. This was my last deciduous purchase before I started having chronic fungal issues on...

Do you agree? What is your garden primarily filled with? Do deciduous give you more problems than conifers? What species have you had the most success with?

Looking for help. Not a bonsai, landscape tree at my parents house that they are upset about. What is this? I couldn’t find anything that looked exactly like this while searching. It looks like a combo of the black spots like in the pic and what appears like powdery mildew in some other spots...

American larch $60 picked up. Approx 20inches high from lip of pot. Trunk a little over an inch at soil level. I’m by Suffolk/Nassau border. Pm if interested.

Ordered from Sheffield’s and came a few weeks ago.

I have searched high and low and cannot find the photo I am looking for and hope I am remembering it correctly. Hopefully somebody can help. I believe I initially saw it in an issue of International Bonsai from a few years ago, but I'm not certain. I believe the tree was a needle juniper...

Purchased this a few years ago from Brent at Evergreen Gardenworks. It was my first or second year doing bonsai and I snagged up a bunch of different species of trees to grow out for when i had a better clue about bonsai. I bought it in a teeny tiny pot, maybe 2 3/4 inch and put it in the ground...

Picked this up about 2 months ago. Pics are from that time. Haven't changed much of anything to it yet except slowly work the crap/moss off the trunk. I bought it because i liked the trunk movement,low branching and haven't come across anything similar in person. It's larger than the pics below...

Many of you saw my thread on my kashima with help from @MACH5 . Well I have one for @Brian Van Fleet too! I Picked this up almost two years ago from Muranaka. Any progress is owed to Brian who has helped me tremendously through communication and his excellent book on how to develop JBP. I think...

I hear a lot of folks who have been at it a long time who didn't have the Internet, forums and loads of free info often suggest to go out and experiment. Have actual experiences, try things, fail, maybe succeed. I feel like I'm doing that, but it sure doesn't feel like I'm doing bonsai. I guess...

i was given this seedling two or three years ago or rather my son was given this for being patient while daddy looked at a bunch of trees. He's done a good job of feedin it! It was in a colander the last two seasons and I just repotted a few weeks ago because soil was breaking down. I've...
