Sorry to hear you and others are going through this unnecessary crap. Unfortunately as stated throughout this thread, social media outlets can be a rough avenue. There are always going to be “tough-guy” wannabes, and “keyboard tough-guys”, that probably live in their Mommy & Daddy’s basement...

Good Morning, I just took a few leaf-shots… Hopefully these will help us identify the mystery guest. LOL… Thanks again!

It could be. However I don’t think it’s Ostrya Virginiana, as I haven’t seen it produce those hop type of clusters.

Thank you very much for your input. I’ll take a closer at going the leaning route, once the rain stops, here on Long Island.

According to the app., it’s an American Hornbeam.

Thank you! Hmmm… I didn’t even think about doing an air layering! That way, I could use both parts & see how it goes.

Hello All, I hope everyone is doing well!!! 💪💪 Now, I FINALLY have more time to enjoy our beloved hobby (I Just Retired). 🙃🙃🙃🙃 First American Hornbeam / Ironwood tree for me. Yes, this is a tough question to answer just by seeing a few photos, BUT any ideas as to which way I should go with...

Peter Chan seems to be such an amazing Bonsai artist, as well as an amazing human being. His videos are so easy to follow and difficult stop watching, because he seems to take the "mystery" out of the hobby. Thinking about going there to meet him soon. Ben

Hi Corey, You’re very welcome. Not sure if I mentioned it or not, but what I also did was: 1). I looked-up online where the Sun is positioned during the shortest day of the year (in my exact location), then I pitched the South wall at about 59 degrees from horizontal, in order to maximize the...

Hi Corey, Been harvesting fruits and veggies all through the Winter, in the greenhouse. When the weather starts to cool down, we move the citrus back into the GH for the Winter. We also grow veggies in food-grade buckets that we get from bakeries and supermarkets. We also use clay pots &...

Hi ViridianGinkgo, Thanks for asking. I took some of the advice here, and just let them grow in those large pots that I slip-potted them into. They’re doing nicely actually. The trunks have thickened quite a bit, and there’s some nice natural branching on some of them. I also did a bit of...

A belated Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Hi Judy, Thank you so for the kind words and for your input along the way. We were harvesting some veggies throughout the Winter, and also have citrus growing in there. LOL... On the South wall (pic attached), I have opposing vents that I framed-out. I made the 4 higher vents larger than...

Thank you very much DSD! I’m havin’ a blast with the build.

Very nice score!

Welcome Waltglen, enjoy your stay. You're gonna love this place.

Thank you very much Cadillactaste!

Thank you very much Pitoon!

Thank you very much Carol 83!

Thank you very much VP999. I really appreciate the kind words.

It’s coming along nicely. Crappy raw day here on Long Island, I did some work on the GH floor. Those suckers ARE FRIGGIN’ HEAVY!!! LOL...

I agree, these are epic tutorial videos, and I too have viewed many of them. No nonsense, no hype, right to the he point, not a sales guy, no endless talking, and NO annoying music. He also shows complete respect in every aspect of the process. I also believe I saw a notation that he only...

Even though I'm somewhat color-blind, one of my wisterias would sure look bad ass in that puppy. Well, I THINK it would, anyway... LOL... That pot IS yellow, ISN'T IT??? J/K LOFN'L...

Sweet pots... I'm in at $160.

What, MORE trees!?!? Yup, my 30 new sticks, I mean trees arrived today, from Cold Stream Farm. Still preparing for Retirement, and my Bonsai enjoyment will be a big part of it (along with my other hobbies). When they say it’s difficult to slow-down your collecting in the beginning, they...
