Just thought I'd drop back in to being a Bnutter - 2019-2020 has been a year of Chaos and things are normalizing for me I'll just thought I'd say Hello again. I still have all my trees, well mostly, and a few have suffered but that just means I can work some magic and get things back to tip top...

So I'm a huge Star wars fan, and more so in the last few years. So I had a crazy idea last Halloween to dress up like something with my daughter. Well one thing led to another and Now I have a full fledged Kylo Ren outfit that I'm in process of joining the 501st legion Going around the area to...

So this year I've finally embarked on the journey to learn and speak Japanese. Taking classes, bought like 6 books, have a personal tutor and everything. I don't like the fact that I only speak 1 language and my wife speaks 3. Here's hoping I don't have a melt down

Use to be ez as the search bar now I can not find it?

I found a diamond in the rough. Let see what I can do with this 20$ home depot treat.

So my pear tree suffered a spray burn. It should be fine but the fall colors are not going to be there this year which sucks. It is putting new growth, but that'll only have time to put maybe one set of leaves before it gets to cold. I have no idea how this happened but I'm not happy about it.

So last night I watch Orville and the new Star trek show and I must say I loved both of them. I grew up watching all the star trek shows and they have a special place in my heart. Plus I LOVE SPACE!!! Anyone else watch the new shows?

No idea what these are but the opped up in the yard Tree 1 Tree 2

On a whim, I stop by a nursery while drinking my coffee one morning and just took a look at what they had. It's a mom and pop shop and they had a good variety. Some zelcova Base of the thicker zelcova - better one, though it does look like a graft Slippery elms Princess elm and...

I use to be into Reef tanks and specifically the red mangrove aspect of it. Here my last tank a few years back I no longer have those mangrove, but I did keep one and have been keeping it on my bench for the last couple years. They Grow very very slow. I grew all these mangrove from seed...

Getting new weed wacker cable I came across this guy that was sitting in the bargin bin. For 9$ I simply couldn't help myself Niceish interesting nebari is what grabbed my attention So I got to work. Sitting on the bench, please excuse the poopy background. But till spring when I can...

You don't see this species very much and so far I like the species. The big one came up last year when I found a sweetgum and has been doing well every since. It went into the ground after collecting and this year I put it in a simple pot. the small one pipped up in my yard last year and this...

Each year I like to go up into the mountains and see what I can find. It was mainly to take my family up for a Easter vacation but with the added benefit of hunting for stuff. I'm currently very happy with my collection and wasn't looking for anything but a pine of some sort. I took a ton of...

While on my outdoor adventures I came across this wonderful thing. While it has flaws, it's a thing of beauty in its own right. It had a ridculous tap root but over all a flat and good root spread. I planted it on a composite board and used a 4 point wire tie down to keep it on there. I...

So I've had the itch to collect as I havn't done much this year other then a large Ume. Normal I try and get 4-5 good tree's a year. I sold 5 tree's this year so I wanted to put a few back in my collection. I meant to take more pictures of the process of digging this tree out but I completely...

So these alberta spuces are difficult huh? Let's see what I can do here Buy one of these Do this Then maybe one of these Mmmm, plans for the future will be branch placment, some jins, moving the apex to the right, but for now I've insulted it enough time for fertilizer and growth!

So I got creative this year and went and made a group planting - its was kinda a rush job and needs 3 more tree's to make it complete but it's a start. Finding small beech to dig up is actually harder then I thought. I'll keep a look out. I will be building a base for this one so it can stand...

Things are blooming as thought I'd snap a few in the garden as I'm remodeling it. Quince at the base of my beech forest flowering almond

Collected this Virginia creeper by ripping out of the sand when the fam went to the beach in 2014. Planted it in the garden and forgot about it till now. here it is in 2014 Repotted it last night - and I forgot to take a pic of it in the pot - I'm getting really good at this :) I will...

Mume is by far my favorite species. I've been on the look out for one for a very very long time. 10 years for one. Not just something I could buy, but something I could have formed from the beginning. I could have bought a seedling but, I wanted something I found, dug, and shaped with my own...

Most of my tree's are pushing growth and been repotted and I've collected 5 tree's that are rather large and I don't want to move them around. Weather going to be 30 degree's F tonight and I was just going to build a simple cold frame(stakes and covered in a 3mm plastic sheet to the ground)...

Just curious as to how old this tree is as it has four trunks and wondering if the rings on the multi trunks are a clear indicator as each trunk being 3-4" across with the main trunk 7-8" across. Also this is one tree not 4 fused together. Thought I had all 4 pictures but only 3.

The best time is usually spring but I've read that after blooming is done is a good time which is about a week or two away. These are yamadori so any advice from that aspect would be great as these are my first ume, like shade till they start pushing growth or full sun and the like

Anyone ever use this? I got my hand on 65lbs of it cheap and never used but it's close to what I make myself - 40% pumice - 40% calcified clay (akadama whattobe?) and 20% sifted bark. I've been using 1-1-1 pumice/lava/sifted bark. anyone know what calcified clay is?

I by happen chance have come across this wondering "thing", and a wonderfull thing it is. Only thing is, is I'm not sure what it is. Anyone know or care to guess? It rather large too, about 8" across at the base.
