Hey Julian, I eyed that tree for awhile also. Here was my plan if I didn’t get a huge elm earlier this year. You could have airlayered the top of the main tree, which would have made an awesome shohin. Airlayer the smaller branch to make a windswept or slant style and what velodog2 suggested on...

I think you can squeeze a bit more from that old tube!

Glad to her she fighting back and winning. I'll add your wife to my prayers.

I really like the design. I wished I had the space to place something this nice on my property

Nanpukai has a show around mid August.

Finally got a hold of Linda first then Ed. His cell phone needs an update. I might have to fix it for him when we drop by. Such a nice couple to chat over the phone. Thanks for the heads up. Hey Smoke any other place you think I could stop by tomorrow?

It's behind schedule. But happy New Years all.

So picked this flowering quince several weeks ago. Was in a 15gallon pot forever so did a quick repotting before the winter hits. To my surprise it started to flower. Also to my surprise I thought it was a toyo nishiki but it's all mostly orange red to deep red flowers! If anybody can help me id...

Yes all mine have thorns.

I'll be heckling you from the front row Bob!

Hey all, thanks for the comments but I'm pretty happy for only caring for them less than 5 years. Also from raw stock. Most Japanese quince have a tough time to thicken up. The ones you see in in Japanese shows are 75-100 years old So yah mine are babies with another generation to mature...

My second contorted quince I repotted this year.

Hey all, just had to post my favorite accent plant that I made at the last GSBF convention in Burbank. Ann Erb was a gracious and knowledgable teacher in this area as she is the show chair for her and other clubs.

Of course I do Judy. The largest branch 3/4" and at this point its brittle and its only by cutting back I would get movement on those main branches. Tom

Soil mixture. I get it from Mt Fuji Nursery in Upland California. Lindsay the owner uses 50% black lava scoria and 50% cactus mix potting soil. I amend it with 10% humus compost. Just helps retain that moister better in 100+ temp for 20+ days here in Los Angeles during the summer peak. They get...

I had this tree for 3 years in a 5 gallon nursery pot. I got tired seeing it in one this year so i repotted it in one of the extra pots i had around. Feeding: thats a good question. They eat like well a teenager. I did notice they love acidic mixture, feeding program is about every 2-3 weeks of...
