    Studious Japonica

    In kokofu # 58 there is a tree called styidium japonica. Does this go by other names or was it a typo?

    Maple identifications

    This thread has taken an interesting turn - I just wanted to identify what two trees of mine would be and it seems all we can definitely say is they are both jap maples! Lots of good points in regards to labelling, identification, genetics and looking for proof. So really, the takeaway is...

    It’s more of a “bought it and lost labels, then found labels and couldn’t remember which tree was which”.

    Dwarf Jasmin

    Hi! Anyone tried grafting dwarf chirimen Jasmin onto normal size? What technique did you use? Scion and understock, or approach graft? I ask because I got my hands on some dwarf chirimen Jasmin… they are hard to find. In anticipation, I’d started propagating non dwarf (giant?) Jasmin last...

    Get Shorty

    This wasn’t meant to be a vote on whether dwarfs are better to work with than other species - I was wanting to know what dwarf or small (short leaf) cultivators you are working with for bonsai.

    Boxwood need light in winter?

    Make sure your dogs don’t eat the leaves! They are toxic

    Boxwood need light in winter?

    Kingsville are dense. If you clear out the crammed bits they backbud. This helps give options with styling. They are brittle - you need to be careful wiring. If it’s woody it’s going to be hard (not impossible) to wire. Most of the difficulty comes from getting our fat fingers in to the parts...

    Callicarpa

    After some advice about spotting the difference between the two. I’ve got several which I suspect were mislabelled. From what I can tell Japonica has smaller internodes, berries that aren’t as long lived as the other and is berry slow growing. Buds are super small and leaves are a lighter shade...

    Thread Grafting - Apricot

    Anyone tried this on an apricot? I have a fairly 2d mume / it has some latent buds on the backside I’m hoping can activate with sun, but to date no change. Is this doable? I find the wood of prunus so soft it rots easy and don’t want to risk drilling a hole if minimal chance of success

    Prunus kanzan

    I stumbled across some flowering cherry I’m hoping I can take cuttings from. Does anyone have any success stories or advice? It seems the jury is out with softwood v. hardwood TIA
