I Received these at the Funeral of my Wife's Grandmother. They were the 1800 Flowers products, in crappy soil which I replaced. I didn't do much in the way of styling a few branches trimmed. Just gonna let them grow for a season.

I have noticed that I'm not successful at identifying tree growing wild. So before I collect this in the spring I would like to know what it is. The twin trunk caught my eye.

Named after an Artist who changed my Life. I saw this Spruce over a month ago and It has been in my dreams since. It tells a story of Transcending Harsh Times and Embracing Life. Collecting this Gem was a Struggle reminding me that Priceless Things come when We are Close to Penniless. I...

Of course I am a Bonsai Nut, I can never have enough trees . The whole idea of collecting material in the urban environment is appealing to me. Beech trees are my newest obsession . Found some which I will likely cut to manageable stumps next week then collect in the spring.

In my quiet friendly townhouse complex lives an Assh#le of a Groundhog. Last week it came by and ate some tomatoes and knocked over my Scheflera then returned the next night to pull the tomato plant off the the stand. So I spray the perimeter of my yard with varmint defense. Well last...

I was taking a walk today and noticed a tree I pass by at least twice a week. Ohh look an Oak. I want an Oak in my collection. Anyway i have had less thay favorable results with cuttings and have never attempted an air layer. It is late in the growing season what should I do? There's some Burr...

Well I been kinda busy the past few weeks and nothing relaxes me like being a Bonsai Nut. So here's my additions to my collection. First is some spiral willow cuttings that have been grouped together hopefully to fuse into one trunk. I to a hint from Nigel Saunders ( of You Tube Fame ) and have...

I spotted a nice American Elm growing in front of an Abandoned School. Its about four feet tall with multiple trunks. I sent an email asking for permission and they said yes. The group that now owns the property are putting in community gardens and doing a lot of good things. I just want to...

Had my eye on this one at my local nursery for a few weeks now, always wanted a Fukien Tea but so many have the serpentine curve which I don't care for much. The price was nice ( they tend to be over Forty bucks) . Kinda was lead into a literati styling

Trying my hand at something a little more ambitious this time. Picked up a Green Island Ficus last Wednesday, was dealing with some emotional pain and thought it would help. Anyway I got it home and got to thinking what to do with it, the roots were growing out of the nursery pot about 6 inches...

Well it came the time to do something about the leggy growth of this tree. Being new to Bonsai it is hard to cut back and start anew yet everything I have learned tells me to do it. Hopefully i will get some new growth and thicken the trunk. It has some taper already so it can only get better...

Since i found out the diy fertilizer i was using was probably doing more harm than good. I dug up this from my basement box of gardening stuff. I kniw that it's winter and i don't need to fertilize until spring but i wanted some opinions on this beforehand.

Picked up this Lonicera yesterday! Not rushing to start training it, rather wait and think about it for a while. Been looking around the internet for ideas. It is similar to a boxwood in leaf size and shape.

One of my ficus Pandora has dropped major leaves. I believe it caught a draft from a leaky window near my grow lights. From all i have read ficus are pretty hardy and it should bounce back. I further secured the draft so hopefully that will not reoccure .

A Friend/Co Worker took a Trip to Utah and Brought this Back for Me! I'm in Love with It. Thinking of using it with my Ornery Barbados Cherry named "Jasper"

Have been mentally preparing to plant a ficus pandora over this asteroid looking rock for months. The tree is in training basket doing great 2 inches of growth in less than a month. Named the tree Britney after the lead of Alabama Shakes.

My Schefflera named "Lupita " , Ming Aralia named "Grandmas" , and my Golden Dewdrop named "Sankofa ". I have only been into Bonsai a few months. My trees are still in the training stage. Waiting to unwire and trim Sankofa next month.
