Good day fellow Bnutters, It’s been quite while since my last post on here. Has been a hectic end and start of my year(s). My father passed the Friday before thanksgiving and my second son was born just last Tuesday. To say this season has been bittersweet, would be an understatement...

Purchased this tree in October of 2014 as a candidate for the landscape (sorry no picture). However, as the leaves dropped I quickly changed my mind and in the spring of 15' I decided to chop it and begin working on a twin trunk. The slenderness and soft undulations of the main trunk lend...

Anybody have a diagnosis? I've been letting dry out considerably and also cut bck on fert..

For the past month it has rain almost every day. Water bill= down , fungal/mite infestations =up. Like any other year, I was prepared for a higher water bill. For the past two years it has been unusually dry in central Virginia, and I had not needed to pre treat my trees for fungus or pest bc...

Fascinating read. I implore all of you nuts to give it a whirl, even more so for those who have dabble a bit in quantum mechanics.

It has only taken me 4 years to come to the realization that I'm in love with crape myrtles.. Currently have 4 , more sizeable trees, not including this lot I just pulled in. Given my climate, they take severe chopping, root pruning, and defoliation techniques like a boss and they are...

Thoughts? :p Pretty darn good for wasabi popcorn!

**Disclaimer** Not for developed trees! This recommendation is purely for putting on lbs; I.e. for that chick that needs a cheeseburger! In terms of developing pre bonsai, this stuff is rad. I have used oscomote for the past 2 years and miracle gro the previous year and there is no comparison.

This prolific grower has managed to grow through my large holly bush every year and even stronger when I prune it back out of sight... Any ideas as to what it could be ? Sorry the 3rd pic isn't so great, but hopefully from the leaf and bark someone can make an identification.

Hello all, I've had this boxwood in a large pot for over a year now. Now that it has regained its health I'm ready to start cutting back and making it a bit more compact. My question is should I wait until the first flush of growth to cut back to 1-2 pair of leaves? I plan on root work and a...

Hey all, I don't regularly post but I had some time and wanted to get some thoughts on this steal of a deal I just acquired. Basically, a new friend of mine owns this nursery and was clearing out a large amount of stock for spring and let me take 3 old amurs for 12 bucks a peice (only one is...

Anybody here read, heard of, or been successful in doing so?

So I have come across 3 to 4 very large Amur maples. I hear these are extremely hardy! Is now a sAfe time to perform a trunk chop? Or should I wait until right before buds break in spring?

I am relatively new to maples. I was bargain shopping for some material this weekend and I found this little guy and couldn't help myself! I have a few maples thickening up in the yard, but this is my first attempt at one in the pot. I slip potted the tree and began defoliating the...

I bought this one a year and change ago. Let it grow all last season in the nursery pot and has put on considerable growth after two large chops and a repot done in early June this year. Now... I'm stumped (pun intended :o).. Can't decided where I want to go with it. I will obviously be letting...

As many of you may know, there has been a hot debate on the effectiveness of turface as a potting medium for bonsai. With so many mixed reviews I thought I would add my 2 cents and pose a few more questions. To preface the meat and potatoes of this post, I have tested my batch of turface and...
