Hello I wanted to know if this juniper is an itoigawa, or maybe taiwan, or sargentii because I really don't know. Thank you!

I got this privet (ligustrum) bonsai on clearance at a garden center. On it's plant id it is classified as indoor bonsai and it should be a Ligustrum How would I be able to know wether it is a chinese privet (ligustrum sinense) or another type? For what I've read, all privets, except chinese...

On a walk through my neighborhood, I found three little seedlings, bursting with new growth, shoved haphazardly into a 4" nursery pot, sitting on a dumpster. I did what I had to do and took them home with me (I left the succulent and monstera cuttings for someone else). Upon repotting them, I...

I got some seeds from Etsy that stated these were juniper. Doesn’t look like any pictures of juniper.

It's oval shaped, one side rounds off and is closed while the other side has an opening. I assume some insect or something made it? Does anyone recognize it? It was attached pretty securely but I managed to remove it without harming the branch.

I have no idea what this is it may even just be a blade of grass. does anyone know what this could be?

Hi all! There is a large maple I am in the process of buying with the plans of creating a very large bonsai but myself and the nursery I’m getting it from are not 100% sure what type it is. The leaves are those of the paper bark and there are areas where it is flakey and coming off but the...

Hi all! 😊 I got a bonsai tree for my birthday from my brother but he said the shop assistant couldn’t tell what kind of bonsai tree it was. Could any of you guys help me out with identifying it please? Would mean a lot. Also open to tips on how to keep it and care for it but I will do the...

Been looking for one to plant at the end of my garden. Found this really cheap at a family run nursery and snapped it up as it was the only one. Unfortunately the only bloke working had no idea - his answer was 'I think it's some sort of acer' 😂 lovely bloke mind. Ideally I'd have known the ID...

Hello fellow bonsai lovers, I have a mystery species it would be great to help identify. This was purchased from Chikugo-en Bonsai Nursery in Gardena, CA in January 2019 (see picture below right after purchase). It was purchased during winter and is deciduous, so no leaves at time of purchase...

Hi guys, my name is Afnan, I'm from Malaysia. I'm very new here in Bonsai Nut. I need help identifying the elm below in pictures, is that Chinese Elm (Ulmus Parvifolia) or Siberian Elm (Ulmus Pumila)? Thanks in advance.

Hey everyone! I’m a total noob at everything Bonsai. My husband bought me one a few years back and I’ve been “taking care” of it. But then I realized I have no idea what I am actually doing. - I have no idea what kind of tree it is - I have no idea how to trim/shape it - I have no idea if...

Hi all, Last year I received some great advice on a Chinese Elm Bonsai on this forum and I’m forever grateful for the help! I’ve been learning more about Bonsais and have fallen in love! Recently I’ve been gifted another Bonsai (I think from a generic garden centre) and can’t seem to place...

Hello all! I've done a little research on Bonsai and recently went to a nursery and picked up a maple for $20. The lady who sold it to me just said it was a maple, I think we had a language barrier. I cut it down a bit but was looking for some advice on next steps for this tree. Should I...

Hi, I'm new to bonsai trees and have no experience with them whatsoever. My father just brought me home this bonsai and I'm trying to look up some information on care etc. However I have no idea what kind of tree it is, there was no tag or anything with it just the price and 'small bonsai'...
