    Square pots for deciduous trees

    In general, are there any rules to follow for using a square pot? I have a masculine trident maple whose current front is about 45 degrees from what I see as the best front. However, there is no way to rotate the tree in a rectangular pot without overpotting a lot, because the nebari runs to the...

    Spooky Twisted Pomegranate

    Bought this online, looked ugly as sin but I thought I could work on it a little and make it into a spooky little tree. Root work, then in the ground for one or two growing seasons to get a good twist. Once everything buds out I'll go ahead and remove crossing branches and see about reducing the...

    Trident seedlings planted through tiles, progression thread

    I have a thread on this in the general discussion forum but have been meaning to get it in the right spot. So here we go. I have taken several seedlings over the past couple of years and planted them through either wood planks or sheet metal and then placed them in the ground to grow and...

    Stonker of a Trident

    I bought this for myself for my birthday. It arrived today and was potted up. Not a lot to post about it yet but I wanted to maybe spark some conversation and a virt or two while I wait on summer to arrive.

    Tree ID

    This tree is pretty common here in South Georgia as an understory tree and I was just curious what it is. The closest I have found online is parsley Hawthorne but that doesn't quite match. Thanks for any help.

    Seedlings planted through tiles

    Hey guys, quick question. I have a few trees that I have planted through wooden planks in lieu of tiles a couple years ago. As expected, the wood didn't hold up very well and we'll see how the results turn out. I'll attach a couple pics in my next post of what they looked like this spring. For...

    Twisted Pomegranate

    I bought this a few days ago and it will be here by the time I get home tonight. I'm planning to put it in the ground for a few years to thicken it up a bit but thought I would share the pictures I have. I'll get more tonight or tomorrow but just wanted to see what you guys think of it. I love...

    Funky palmatum

    I bought this off of one of the facebook auction groups and have a plan for it. I just want to know what you guys think. I think I can layer here and cut here, assuming the roots cooperate when the planting angle is changed (the picture appears to be at an angle) and end up...

    $4 nursery maple

    2 years ago I got this maple from a nursery for $4 because the top had died off. I cut it down and stuck it in the ground. Today I though I'd see if I could kill it. It isn't pretty and it probably never will be. Roots still need a lot of work but I think it was started down the right path...

    Looking for 3-5 year Trident stock

    Title. Please post or PM me with anything you have. Beginnings of good root work preferable Edit: Alternatively, if anyone knows of anyone or any site that has decent stock I would be appreciative. I am aware of Matt and actually have 6 of his trident whips going on their third year but I would...

    Itoigawa from a member

    After a bit of an adventure with UPS, this arrived today. I got it from a fellow BNut member, Ris, via the Bonsai Classifieds page on facebook (if you haven't tried it yet, I highly encourage you to give it a look). Anyway, I wanted to share with you guys a couple quick photographs that I took...

    Shohin Jap Maple

    I got this one in a trade and it just arrived. I'm pretty excited about it. I'll post updates on this one as it progresses. Thoughts/comments are welcome. Not sure why the pictures upload out of order. Pic 3 would be the front. Although I may like pic 2 better. it looks like it was wired with...

    Trident Maple from Schley's Bonsai

    First off, hats off to Jason. He's busy as he can be preparing for his grand opening next weekend, but still found the time to talk back and forth with me and get pictures and videos of his stock. The tree arrived safe and secure. I noticed the sun waning, so I took a couple quick pictures...

    Training Pots

    I am curious, where do most of you guys get your training pots? Do you have a favorite vendor or are you not extremely particular? I have a larger tree that I'm going to need a training pot for soon. I would build a box but for this size it would be easier to buy.

    Chishio Improved

    This thread is to track the progress of a tree i got recently. Brian Van Fleet was kind enough to sell me a layer off of his Chishio Improved, since I was so enamored with it and couldn't find the cultivar anywhere else with decent size. He packed it up and sent it to me a few weeks back. I...

    Collected Elm

    Today, I took my last final exam of the quarter, so I headed home. I was doing some yard work when I noticed this elm growing next to the deep well. It had been cut back a couple times but it seems I never noticed it. The leaves were just starting to come out, so I might be a tad bit late...

    Box Store Azalea Project

    Like I'm sure plenty of you have done, I went by Home Depot to get some things for around the house, and came home with a plant. This particular one is an Azalea x 'Roblea' or Autumn Princess. It's some dwarf variety. Anyway, attached are pics of the trunkline, leaves, and flowers. I'm trying to...

    Marc at The Growing Grounds (My Experience)

    I visited Marc this morning for a little while. He was very busy working on some stock in the field, but took a while and gave me a tour. He did ask me when I was about to leave to post my honest impression of the place online, which I think is fair given the circumstances with the other thread...

    Twisted Pomegranate

    I purchased this a couple days ago, and it hasn't arrived yet. I'm excited about it though, so I figured I'd post the pictures I have of it and see what you guys think as far as possible steps to take with it. I have a couple ideas but I'd like to hear what you have to say. One thing for sure is...

    Fruiting Tree Identification

    I am looking at a tree that is marked as a Japanese Pomegranate. Is there such a thing or is this a normal Pomegranate tree? This picture is with it and I assume is what a mature tree looks like. Thanks!

    Trident Maple came in today

    I purchased this one from Don a few days ago. The unexpected weather in the south delayed the shipping, but it arrived safe and sound. I want to take a while and decide what direction I want to take with the tree. What do you guys think? edit: pics uploaded sideways. fixing that now.

    Coral Bark, Crimson Queen, Shishigashira,..

    I ran by a nursery near my apartment today looking for some fertilizer. I perused their trees while I was there and saw several nice trunks. I am googling as we speak, but in case anyone wants to help me out: Are any of these cultivars not suitable for bonsai? Also, are coral bark...
