    Hinoki Trouble

    Hey BNuts! Having trouble with this Hinoki. As you can see quite a few tips are turning brown throughout. I think it might be roots getting too hot. The pot absorbs alot of heat. I do keep it well watered so maybe I'm overwatering just a bit. I do have it under 40% shade cloth mid day so I don't...

    Hi all! I'm new to bonsai; been collecting yamadori from my property and nearby forest for a couple of years, plus a few nursery specimens. Very much a beginner, but I do know how to care for trees so I have a little bit of a leg up. But not much. This is my first post and I'm excited to talk...

    I’m getting ready to do a light prune on my Hinoki; Chamaecyparis Obtusa "Gracilis". It’s got very long slender branches with minimal secondary branching and I was wondering if there is a good way to prune to promote secondary branching? It’s about 40 inches high and these branches are maybe...

    Cleaning up nursery bought Hinoki

    Hi all, I just bought a Hinoki cypress from nursery stock and wanted to clean up the bottom area and do some wiring but the pot it came in is rather tall and hard to work with. I’ve read it’s a bit late in the year to repot Hinoki so I’m wondering if anyone has any advice? I don’t want to...

    Brittle Hindi Cypress "Verdoni"

    In hindsight I should not have bought this tree, but it seemed like a good deal in the moment at Home Depot. I figured the the brown needles were just sun scorch (there have been lots of high UV index days here in Connecticut USA this summer). When I got it home, I noticed many branches that...

    extensive root system, Hinoki Cypress?

    Hi Everyone, This is my first post on this forum--nice to meet everyone:) I live in Eastern Massachusetts, USDA Zone 6. An arborist planted a Hinoki Cypress in 2019 in the front foundation of my house and it has grown very well. Because I'd like to plant some tulips, I dig out some soil and...

    My first hinoki cypress tips are yellowing

    Is this fungal? Yesterday was very hot and I was unable to mist in the afternoon. Is this lack of water? I just bought this from a fellow bonsai nut member and I do not want to lose it!

    Interior of this new Hinoki Cypress is super wet.

    Turns out this tree is super close to the soil and there was a lot of wet, dead foliage in the interior of this tree. The soil feels really wet. What should I do? Exterior foliage feels and looks great. I'm guessing I should clear some soil from the top and place it below to prop the plant up...

    Trouble with Hinoki cypress

    Hello, I’ve had this hinoki cypress for about a month. I live in southern Florida, I had this in direct sun and it was getting in the high 80’s low 90’s. I have since brought it in under a screen house that offers less intense sun and heat. Is this dark brown just burnt from the sun ? I am also...

    Please advise on my hinoki

    I've got this hinoki earlier this year. It's been doing well, grew up about an inch, but now it has some yellow leaves. All of those leaves seem to be on downfacing parts of branches or near the starting points of branches. Is it a normal thing at the end of season or should I worry/do...

    B&B Hinoki

    Starting the progress on this Hinoki. Bought this tree from Home Depot and it may not have been the most wise purchase. It was B&B and under the burlap it was hiding the graft. I looked through all of the ones available and couldnt see a graft on any of them, so I thought these didn’t have...

    When to Ground Layer a Hinoki Cypress

    I bought a pre-bonsai hinoki cypress with a thick, almost bulb at the top of the nebari. I'm considering ground layering it above this ugly area and starting over.
