I am driving from SC to Nashville this weekend to deliver some trees and would be interested in a stop at a place I haven't been... I am no country music fan, and won't spend a lot time in the city, but...

    Bought this one today... just kind of bored strolling around the local. Ur Seth and saw a couple of these for like $25 with decent movement and small trunks but large enough for Shohin... this one had a nice pancake developing at the bottom, good movement and great branching that just needed a...

    Shogun Trident getting "the business"

    This little guy was an additional add on tree that came with a forest of larger old Tridents I got years ago. This one was chopped last yr instead of being kept as a tall forest option. The roots were less than perfect so after trying for a while to get it to sprout roots right where I wanted...

    Multi trunk Olive gets attacked by an angry beaver

    Had this one a little over a year, bought it off a FB auction for practically nothing.. looks like the guy just sawed a branch off the base of an old Olive, got it to root and viola... which I am fine with! It has a great flare at the base... three decent sized trunks and has grown pretty well...

    Twisted up a little juniper whip

    I know there are threads about people doing this somewhere on here but I could not find them... so I will just make my own. Took this cutting last year seems like the good time of year to bend them hard, so I went for it (though Soring summer or Fall is no different in my experience... as long...

    How long have you been a Cub's fan?

    I didn't see anything in the Tea House about them, so figured it was time! I started watching them in the late 80s, early 90s. I was a Braves fan growing up but started liking the Cubs because WGN was on my cable list... I was a huge Dale Murphy fan and when the Braves used him up and dumped...

    Hurricane carnage

    my parents live on an island off the coast of Beaufort SC. Not sure if you watched much coverage on this hurricane we just had, but you had your radar up at about 4:00AM as that beast was rolling into our coast, you could have basically seen their house peeking out from the eye of the storm...

    Maples got a "wilt"

    any ideas? Not a catastrophic issue- only 2-3 plants affected, sprayed with a multi insecticide/miticide/fungicide spray today, but the growing tips on a few of my Maples are doing this wilt then turn black and die thing... Rest of the tree is fine once affected growth is removed... No visible...

    Night

    For those of you saying to yourself "looks like he tacked an old pallet up there and is using it for a tree bench".. Yes. Yes I did. It will get "treatment" and some "purdyin up" eventually, but for right now I just need the space up off the ground... This thing was 10x3! 30 square feet of...

    2015 year in review- what did you accomplish/change/improve on?

    I was looking back at some old threads and thinking about how much has changed for me in the past year- both in my personal life and when it comes to Bonsai... I will stick with the stuff related to trees for this thread... Right at the end of 2014 I got a new camera which has been helpful in...

    A little maintenance for an old Shimpaku

    Well... not that old.. I bought this from my buddy Ken about 3-4 years ago, stuck it in the ground for about 2 years, dug it last year to work on getting it into shape... Today, I worked it a little more. It had basically grown most of the season, about 2 months ago I got out my carving tool...
