Hey nutters! Need some suggestions on an appropriate chop height for my collected acer Rubrum. I like some of the movement halfway up the trunk I find the lack of taper a little boring. I really would like to keep the second trunk to develop a mother daughter style. All suggestions are welcome!

Hey bnuts, Ive come across some Amur seeds that I'll be straitfying soon and while prepping them, I got a tiny bit confused about one part. Am I supposed to be stripping all of the outer key as you can see exposing the red seed within, or do I just get rid of the key blade and let it retain...

Hey bnuts, We just got some snow where I am and a few of my trees had yet to start fall colours and changes (cotoneaster, firebush). Should I be concerned at all about them, they are all very hardy trees and are zoned to handle the cold. Thanks, Tim

Hey guys, There is a wicked hazel tree by my parents place I'm hoping to collect next spring. Wondering if anyone has any experience working with collected hazels and the pros and cons of them? Apparently the leaves are difficult to reduce?

Hey everyone, I'm looking for more information regarding possibly collection tamarack during this fall once the needles turn yellow and the tree goes dormant. I've read a few articles stating that fall collection is possible and is perhaps even preferable. Does anyone have any experience with...

Hey guys, Thought I'd share the repot I just did on my CBS. Found a big surprise underneath which turned out to be a 3" trunk at the bottom with I'm pretty sure an unusual graft. I'll get better pictures of it tomorrow as I have another CBS to repot tomorrow as well. Some questions about the...

Hey everyone, I thought I'd post the little shohin cotoneaster I've been working on. Put it in this cascade pot for now as it needed the depth and I actually like the pairing. Any thoughts or feedback would be great.

Hey guys, Here's an eastern white cedar that I've recently collected. It has a wicked base and about a 3 inch base. Just letting it recover although I was able to get a lot of fine roots which is awesome. Just going to wait for it to bud back and compact the growth in.

Hey guys, I picked up to quince over the weekend that have pretty decent starts for nursery stock. Just curious as to when the best time to repot them would be? They are chanomeles superba crimson and gold I believe.

Hey I thought I'd see if anyone has had success with rooting larch hardwood cuttings before? I'm giving it a go right now and they are popping buds as we speak. I've read that the success rate are mixed but wasn't sure if anyone here has had a crack at it? Here are some pics

Well I finally got around to making some benches for my trees. It's a little ghetto with the cinder blocks, but considering it cost me $10 to do, I'm very happy!

Hey guys, So we are finally getting some milder weather up in my neck of the woods and so I figured it would be a good time to go snooping around. Went to a buddy's and was able to collect quite a few nice Acer Rubrums. It's supposed to have another cold snap for another 4 -5 days but then we...

Hey everyone, I got the chance to dig a cool little tree about 1 month ago but I'm unaware of the exact species it is. I understand that spring would be the right timing to dig, but time constraints on the part of the neighbors relandscaping meant now or never. The old trunk was already dead...
