i've admired muranaka's trees on ebay for a while -especially the cork elms. a few weeks ago i decided to buy one and i'm glad i did.this is the nicest tree in my collection now and i wanted to share it. it's about 7 inches tall and the trunk is around 2 inches at the widest point it had a few...

32" striper i caught last night fishing chunks with my son (my guess 13-15 lb) with my son

yeah thats kinda the trade off there the whole tree leans back so like you said i would have to change the planting angle. for now i'm gonna look at it for a while-maybe i'll see something different

wanted to show my recent purchase.i've been trying to get some better material thats further along in development and i've had an interest in sweetgum i found this with some good movement and at a good price and i jumped on it. my thought is to chop it a couple inches past the last bend. i'd be...

i'm new to elms and i purchased a bunch of c. elms last season,and also collected some (american elm?)seedlings locally during last season. the regular c. elms rotted at the base over the winter. i'm concerned that every tree i have has leafed out or have buds that are about to open,but none...
