Hey Gsquared, I'm in the same boat but for not as long as you. I've been scratching my head for 2.5 years trying to figure the basics out. I've been told to join a club but no time yet for that so I just try to read and watch what I can. I should give Boons videos suggested here a look. My tree...

Sorry to hear about this. I can just imagine the enjoyment his trees provided him while he was caretaking.

Looking for 5+ year old tree that can be shipped. Let me know what you may have. Thanks.

I'm interested. Sent a PM. Thanks.

If a sacrifice branch is left alone wont the trunk still thicken?

I just tossed out a perfectly good houseplant to make room for a fukien tea that I really didn't need. My house is small and I need to stop buying tropicals.

Around the height it is would be nice.

Right, It's put away for the winter..

Well..no, not enough to say a little, I just started this hobby and obviously have a lot to learn. I've read about sacrifice branches but need help with every step on this trees development so I do not destroy it. I do appreciate the feedback here which helps me to better understand and...

I'm not sure if the information I'm trying to convey and trying to gather can be done on the web but at this time I thought I would give it a try. I know I need to join a club and get more involved face to face and hopefully will do that soon. At this point I'm reading and viewing what others...

Love that tree... I'm in the market for one maybe half the size. Any recommendations?

OK folks, it time for some updates on sequoia's. Here's my update: my tree made it through its first Michigan winter and my first overwintering of bonsai. I'm very happy with that... I had three trees in their own wood box filled with pine mulch. I added a 5-inch diameter snowball to each every...

Thank you all for the feedback. Maybe I wont keep this eastern white pine in my collection after all. I will stick with my JBP.

Looking for recommendations on cutting back the height or any other ideas? When do/should I remove the candles?

I do not think so. Every four weeks I gave them some water.

I purchased this dawn redwood last summer. In the fall the foliage turned brown and never dropped even throughout overwintering its still has not changed. I pulled all my trees out from the shed today and wondering if this tree gone. Being my first year with it I'm not sure if this may still...

Matt, Guy Vitale is my go to guy for Sequoia questions. He's coaching me with mine that is going through its first winter here in SE Michigan and hoping it's going to make it. If mine makes it, and I think it's looking good... I will be more than happy to provide details on exactly what I did to...

@Jim G, how is your Sequoia wintering over, have you checked for moist soil? I wonder how it's doing too. I guess it seems OK but I suppose time will tell. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. As you know this winter is all over the map. When it was really cold in December, I plugged the heat tape...

I cant offer any advise since I'm new too but also have a sequoia that is going through my first overwintering in Michigan. Please add your location so we know what zone you are in.

I only have to use photobucket on a conversation post. You dont get the upload a file button at the bottom?

Coh, I like it!

Slip potted and wired today. Keeping it moist and misting at least once a day.

Thanks all for the info and photo's. I will wait till the spring to repot. I had to secure the cheesy plastic pot to my stand but it should be fine. As far as fertilizer, I have 5-3-2 organic and fish and seaweed 2-3-1. Will either of those be a good choice for the sequoia? This will be the...

Hello, I just got this cool outdoor sequoia from giant sequoia.com. Can I repot into a little nicer pot right away? The soil does not look like the bonsai soil that I currently have. What I have are two different blends from my local bonsai nursery and the eastern leaf in the photo. I plan on...
