Hey Fellow Bnuts! Sharing my most recent addition to the Bonsai collection. This tree is definitely the closest thing to show ready that i've ever purchased. It's a Korean Hornbeam, est. around 100 yrs old, about 29 inches tall. I believe this was originally a single trunk tree and someone...

Sharing a little Sierra juniper grafted with Kishu planted on an Ibigawa stone. I collected the tree several years ago and originally started working with the native foliage, but eventually decided it felt too big. The stone is one I bought in Japan at Aichi-En as a pool stone which holds...

Shhhhh!!!! Please don't tell anyone about this yet:) thank you! I've been working on starting a Bonsai Podcast called The Black Pondo Podcast, I'm three episodes in with a fourth which has been recorded. Before I get too far down the road, I was hoping to get some feedback from this...

I've always loved Blue and Green Atlas cedar and would like to start some long term projects. I can't seem to find anywhere that offers 1-2 yr old Blue or Green Atlas cedar. Anyone know of any places online? thank you!

I recently repotted this Redwood project-(Sequoia Sempervirens) into a new container and wanted to share. I plan to continue the foliage development on the tree over the next few years and allow the tree to fill out more. I also hope the deadwood continues to naturally darken. I purchased...

Hey All I’d like to buy this hydraulic cart and pay someone to weld softer rubber wheels onto it. I’m curious if anyone recommends any wheels/tires in particular that you can buy online? And what else will I need to supply a welder with in order to have a functional cart?

Do you know of any individuals who create custom scrolls?

Here's a Sierra Juniper pictured from 2015-2021. In the first pic you can see the tree with a white garbage bag tied to the back of my metal frame pack. I probably should have removed a decent section of roots in the field, as I was able to get a ton of roots when collected. The deadwood on...

I'd love to see pictures of the trees that come to mind when you think about the top three best for each variety/species in the United States. The trees could be in any size or stage of development and i'd love to see many different varieties/species(Pines-Black, White, Pondo, Lodgepole...

Lindsey Shiba has a absolutely incredible collection of trees! I feel like I dont hear about him enough. A couple of my favorites attached. I was curious if anyone has his email address that they could DM me? Apologize for the odd request, thank you.

Got this a couple days ago and i'm about 80% through it. I'm going to have to give it the highest of recommendations for any Bonsai geek out there! One of the most challenging things i've experienced as a hardcore Bonsai enthusiast is sorting out good info from the bad. Michael does a...

You might have seen me post this on Instagram already, but wanted to post here as i'm super pumped on my new tree. Last week I drove from the Central Coast of CA to Converse County, WY to visit Dan Wiederrecht and Steve Varland from Back Country Bonsai. Round trip took me 5 days of driving...

Curious if anyone knows of anywhere you can purchase Zuisho small non specimen plants for sale? Thanks!

I'm curious what anyone can tell me about Mr. Jim Barrett in So Cal? I've recently realized that several trees I really liked over the last several years were his-I'm a fan! Particularly love the twisted pomegranates he's created. Does he have a nursery or does anyone possibly have his contact...

When I first started Bonsai in 2007, I bought a $500 grafted Japanese Maple, attempted to layer it above the graft. RIP-It died about 2 months later. We must learn from our mistakes right? The tree was not in good soil and it had just been re-potted. After that I figured I need to practice...

Has anyone ever worked with David Knittle from Knittle Studios? I have not seen his stands in person, but from the pictures i've seen i'm very impressed! I attached a couple of my favorites, likely going to have him make one for one of my Sierra Junipers. Would love to hear what you guys think.

Hey Fellow B Nuts, Here's my Double Trunk Sierra Juniper-Juniperus Occidentalis-Australis I collected in 2010. I just showed it for the first time this weekend at the BIB show in Oakland. Currently in a Gyouzan handmade pot, which i'm borrowing from Boon. It turned out to be a very special...

Very much a work in progress, I just published my first episode of the Bonsai & a Beer Podcast which should be available now in the itunes store if you search, "Bonsai & a Beer." Please go easy on this. For this episode I sat down with Matt Reel and Tyler Sherrod on a late Saturday night...

Mr. Tanaka of Aichien in Nagoya is the owner of this bad ass pot below and I believe Juan Andrade was the one that took this pic. I asked Juan if he knew the maker, but he didn't. -Anyone have any pics of unusual pot feet they like? -Any other good demon pot feet out there? -Like this...

I bought my first Kokufu Book in 2008, since then I've only managed to buy two more. I've probably looked at each tree in every book 100 or so times in each book. Absolutely love the Kokufu show books but I just can't bring myself to buy more because of the cost. Anyone want to trade? I have...
