    How to keep interest?

    I lost interest for about 8 years. But still had a good amount of tree in pots and in the ground. When I finally got more interested, I had a good deal of stuff to play with. More organic is ok but pests and disease will always pose a problem. In the right mix and pot you can get water...

    I have seen them on deodara cedars also. I try to keep an eye out for eggs and just pull those needles off and toss em.

It actually had old scars from where it had about 1-2 inch long splits and healed years before. When it split on me though it was much worse. I thought maybe the cold weather and...

    Monster DAS, should I dig?

    Grafting can always be done later if it survives. If you absolutely have to, Id ask ole buddy owner to dig up with supervision for 50$ or so? That’s a lotta tree for a shovel. A tree this size and age, do some research. Aftercare is very important. Good luck whatever you do. I’d honestly...

    pre bonsai Mark

    The dude should at least respond. Even if it’s to say I’ll get back with you or check back in a couple weeks. It takes what 2 minutes to make contact. Yea he’s doing good for the bonsai community by growing certain trees and techniques but how good is it really if you can’t get ahold of him. I...

    Field growing seedlings: any tips?

    I wouldnt say set and forget. You need to moniter pests and disease. Caterpillars and moles are a problem for me with pines. Caterpillars can be hosed off with jet setting on hose. May come back tho. not much you can do for moles. If i see a tunnel around a tree i just walk on it. Also voles...

Not calling any one out. But a lil kindness...

    Does ANYONE really like or appreciate the bitchiness on this site?

    Much easier to just ignore and move on than be a dick and bash/break people down. I get people ask dumb fucking questions sometimes, but theres alot of people in this world. Who were all raised differently. They cant all be sensible and intelligent. Doesnt mean they need coddling, but they sure...
