Good afternoon! Been a member here since 2016 and my passion for bonsai is still growing more and more each day. I currently have a clothing brand and I created a bonsai graphic t-shirt. The shirt is made of nice heavyweight fabric and is relaxed boxy fit. I've attached some photos of the shirt...

Good to know! Thank you. I wonder if theres any small figurines that look like they're walking through wind so it can really sell the windswept effect lol

Thanks same here lol This is my first blueberry. Is it normal to have the buds swell up like this during the winter? When do they usually bloom flowers?

I didn't think about doing that. Thanks for putting that idea in my mind 👍

Thanks, I'll re-look at the tree soon to see if theres a better front. You're correct, it is a cont. GT. I sold mine, but it fun riding.

Styled my exposed root maple. I think it turned out great. Deciding on what pot style I should use when its time to repot in spring.

Some more winter styling, this one is a Literati Hollywood Juniper. :)

My first attempt at doing a windswept styling. I like how it came out, let me know what you think.

Woke up this morning and a few of the buds are swelling up and some even popped and showing green. Should I keep them indoors for now? or is it safe to put them back outside? If i put them back outside will the tree die / swollen buds die off?

I thought Chinese elms needed to reach a dormancy period or it'll struggle over time? If its kept indoors during the winter, then it'll be growing all year round and wont hit dormancy. Please correct me if im wrong, im still learning as i go.

lol my rooftop graveyard, i'm surprised i don't have more in that pile.

My game plan is to drill holes on the bottom of the container so the rain could drain out, leave the top off and fill it 1/2 to 3/4 way with mulch. Keeping the pot buried while using the rest of the container as a wind barrier.

It's actually a fire escape lol, second floor, not enclosed. I don't have a garage or a place to dig into the ground. I think my best bet would be buying a plastic container, filling it with mulch and placing the trees in there. I attached a photo taken in October.

Yeah, Chinese elms

Here are some photos

I live in brooklyn NY and I have all my elms on my balcony, they're mame to shohin sized with shallow pots. Should I keep them outside or bring them indoors? Some of them lost all their leaves already, a few of them still have some foliage. The temp right now drops as low as 20s at night and...

Yes this is my first time with this problem. I hate how this is happening to my favorite/most expensive pine. If only this was happening to my ficus’ or elms’ I wouldn’t be so upset or stressed out lol. There’s a lot of great advice discussed on this post and I greatly appreciate every comment...

Thanks for all the advice. I’m going to bare root it tomorrow and hope for the best. What do dead/rotted roots look like so I can cut them off.

When repotting pines. I know it isn’t safe to bare root these trees. How do I go about switching all of the soil if I can’t bare root the tree?

Is it safe to repot the tree at this time if the soil isn’t good draining?

What should I be doing moving forward to ensure a healthy tree for this growing season?

That makes me sad. This is my favorite tree. So I should water the tree with a hydrogen peroxide/ water mixture? What does this do for the tree?

Not many. A few here and there

Some of the needles on my white pine look dull and starting to turn a light brown. What can be causing this? And what can be done to get it back to a healthy looking tree

this tree is still alive and well. When should I repot it into a shallower pot? Is it safe to cut off some unwanted branches at the same time of the report?
