    Toronto Bonsai Society - SPRING SHOW - 2018

    I know this is a little late. Actually way late. It took place months ago. But since I've been posting photos from the shows on here, I might as well continue with tradition. I've been away from the forums for a while. It's been a whirlwind spring/summer. You know. Life happens. Without...

    Unseasonably Warm Fall

    So. It's Oct. 9 and they're forecasting between 14-26C for the next two weeks. that 57-78F for you. I'm wondering how this will effect my trees. I collected some pretty old and some young larch at the end of September. All put in ground. All turned yellow. All my other larches are still...

    Mugo borer?

    I was watering my trees and I noticed an unusual bark flaking of a mugo I've been working on for the past 3 years. I gently lifted the flaking bark and it feel off with a couple more pieces. I noticed some damage. I don't know what it is. Any help would be appreciated The thickness of the...

    Mugo and scots. Anything to worry about?

    Question to you pine experts. My Mugo has had these brown spots every year I've owned it, and this year there seems to be more of them. Any idea what's going on? Also the needles have yellowing tips. It's pushing fat candles. And back budding. It was collected out of someone's yard 3...

    Oh my Myrtus!

    Thought I'd throw this out to the nut community. I have this Greek Myrtle/Myrtus Communis that I would like some feedback for. It will be repotted, but I wanted to commit to a design as well. It's been growing happily in my care for the past two years. Spends the summers outside, and...

    Problems with my Portucalarias!

    I've been growing Portucalarias for the past three years. They spend their summer outdoors, and winters indoors under 16hours of HOT5 lights. This year after bringing my trees in, they haven't been doing that great. First the dramatic leaf loss. No problem, they re-adjusted and grew new...

    Orange Jasmine

    I purchased this Orange Jasmine/Murraya Panicata with the idea of taking clippings of it for a forest and/or raft, and using the main trunk for a formal upright or Literati. It seems to grow very vigorously as there's back budding all over mature/hardened branching and the trunk. So I think I...

    Yellowing needles

    I collected this larch in May. It was growing very well. On its second flush of growth this year!! I noticed though, that the needles are yellowing, yet it's still pushing new growth. It's only August so I don't think they should be turning color waiting to fall off. Not yet at least. All...

    Late blooming English oak

    Just wanted to know if anyone has ever come across this. I purchased an English Oak in May, had really nice swollen buds on it. May ended, didn't leaf out. June and July passed, didn't leaf out. I thought it was DOA but the buds still looked swollen and not shriveled up. Today, Aug 2. I'm...

    2 For 1 Mugo

    I bought this mugo last weekend. It was labelled as a Pumillo. After cutting down the pot, I noticed a little seedling popping out. Sweet. Don't know what I'll do with the tree yet, but I know I'll be waiting till July before I do.

    The nuttiest of nuts.

    I wanted to share with you guys and gals an awesome kickstarter project. There's less then 2 days left in it, it's already funded, but I figured there might be some Frank Zappa fans amongst you, and if so, you don't want to miss out on this. Alex Winter, most notably of Bill and Ted's fame, is...

    Darkness? How long?

    Hypothetical question. Lets say someone grows tropicals indoors in a cold climate. That said person uses artificial lighting. The artificial lighting is the only source of light. Then a winter storm blows through and the power goes out. Assuming the temperature doesn't drop too...

    Canada? Land of the damned? No pumice for you!

    So does anyone ship to Canada? I don't know if it's because of tight boarder controls, or because we're considered a leper colony, but I'm having a tough time finding Horticultural Pumice or Dry Stall up here. I can't seem to find anyone who will ship it north. I use growstones, lava...
