    What did you do today? Show us Pic Required

    Like the tree thread, a pic required w/each post. Just for fun. I thought it would be a fun thread for everyone to post what the did today regarding their Bonsai collection, along the lines of the tree thread where a pic is required or it didn't happen w/your post. Before and after even better...

    S. Florida friends Hang On and check in when you can

    My sister is in Sarasota and I'm worried. I tried to get her to leave but, she is stubborn(stupid?) I imagine I'll be heading down there with a generator and chainsaw soon. She used to live on boats and rode out many over the last 45yrs. Last time they had one nearby she was already up here and...

    Underdog's problem children.

    I have a couple problem children I hope to get advice on. I believe both to be fungal but, what say you? First is a Trident I've had a couple years. It was repotted into a smaller pot this spring and have been keeping it maybe too wet. But had the same issue last year in a larger pot to a lesser...

    Arrived Alive

    After 3 wonderful months in Sarasota FL, we left the first day of spring to migrate back to Ohio. I had been worrying about my trees left behind and my wintering practices for quite a while as I check Ohio weather every morning. I've seen a lot of 70s in recent weeks and feared I missed the...

    5yr Native Tree Challenge- Underdog's Viburnum

    These are a couple Viburnum Dentatum I stuck in the landscape last year because I didn't know what else to do with them. I grabbed them at my friends nursery last year because they had cute little berries:) Common name is Arrowwood so I'm not quite sure why I would think this is a good candidate...

    Weak Chinese Elm suggestions

    I picked up this cheap little Chinese Elm in Florida last March. 25 dollar little grafted tree and my first Chinese Elm. Cut it back and repotted in a similar sized container then. It's never really took off this season or seemed Happy. I suspect a fungal issue as it had an almost white powdery...

    Underdogs Azalea 2020-2025" entry

    This was a cutting taken last May and ignored, Really didn't expect it to take after the fancy set it and forget it method. It's not been pruned as evidence of the prongs of 4-5 on the little branches. Surprised me with blooms I should have pruned off but didn't until entering. If this doesn't...

    Wiggarts Bonsai is amazing!

    Been wanting to check out this place for a few years now. We spend a lot of time 1 hr north of there and finally drove down on a whim. I have never saw so many bonsai in one place and the variety was amazing. Hundreds of specimen trees of all shapes and sizes. And thousands of pre-bonsai in all...

    Yew carving and development.

    I dug this 2 yrs ago out of my landscape to make room for my new benches. And hope I'm not putting it in harms way. It seems the few projects I've posted here often die afterwards. Superstitious I guess... First question is about the leaves/needles. They all have brown tips since last season. I...

    Underdogs Little Christmas Tree Entry

    Well dang, I hope we have a most improved class as I got nowhere to go but up from here. Got these from a friends nursery for free. Pretty rough condition. Norway Spruce and Blvd Cypress. I even visited the Devil himself (WMart) to find a whole cart of Blvd Cypress for 2.49. They were green as...

    Tx Cedar Elm Ulmus crassifolia

    I have this Cedar Elm I am pretty proud of and want to share a plan and progression of it. as well as solicit advice. It's about 1 1/2 inch base with wonderful bark and a long graceful trunk calling literati to me. I have two nice low branches but a long segment with none. I'd thought to wait...

    Canaan Fir

    Not much info as far as Bonsai to be found, maybe fir good reason? smirk After killing my obligatory Dwarf Alberta Spruce a few years ago with ambitious inexperience, in hopes of a "Forever Christmas Tree" , I'm trying again with one of these. I hate paying 50 bucks for a dead tree. I paid 36...

    Wisteria

    I think this one has leaf curl fungus. More water and less make no difference. I have diconell. Should I defoliate before spraying? Any other suggestions? Thanks
