Pictures of the "tree" in question attached. Backstory: A good friend of mine planted this as a seedling for a Mother's Day project in kindergarten, about 29 years ago. His mom told me that it was re-potted once about 20 years ago...since then it has remained in the pot it is pictured in and...

Went to Wisconsin to visit a friend and help him clear some land. On the last day I collected a tree that has a great gnarled base with a sharp turn near the ground. I have no clue what type of tree it is and was looking for some help in identifying it. Buds are just starting to break out into...

Hey - can you help me identify this tree? I love them and they are everywhere around here (Papudo, a coastal town near Valparaíso, Chile). This is a closeup of the fruit/seed pod: And here are a couple of closeup of the leaves:

This was sold as an Ulmus Parvifolia and then came with a sticker that said "Zelkova Parvifolia". I have read what I can find about their differences but still feel unsure. Most important is it to know if it's a Zelkova or an Ulmus, as I will be keeping it outdoors in Norway through the winter...

This guy made his way into a pot that was sitting by the side of the house with some dirt in it. I have never watered it and somehow has survived and looks pretty happy so far. Can't figure out exactly what it is. Looks like black poplar or apricot (prunus armeniaca). Hoping apricot, cause I'll...

I recently purchased about 16 bonsai and pre bonsai from someone taking a break from the hobby. Most of them were easy to identify but one of them even he didn't know. Apparently it was bought from someone in Louisiana and has a large stump of deadwood with one long branch near the bottom. The...

If people are out finding wild material. The apps for tree ID works pretty well. It even works well when the tree is dormant and without leaves. It’s good for a basic ID of the genus and species. But when it comes to cultivars and varieties it doesn’t register as well. Does anyone else use these...

Found an interesting looking stump beside my uncle's farm, but I'm having trouble identifying the species online. Any ideas judging by the buds? I took a photo of the trunk itself but for some reason it came out too blurry to make out... Here's a (poorly taken) pic of the branch structure from...

Hello all, I'm fairly new to bonsai and new to this forum so I don't know if this is where I put the thread, but I need help identifying what kind of juniper this tree is. I've attached some photos below. I bought this tree about a month ago from an elderly gentlemen. He had quite a few trees...

So, I found these in my backyard and have no idea what they are.... they came from a neighbors tree, so I really have 0 idea... any thoughts? If it helps, they range from 4-12 inches... I’m wondering if the tree is even bonsaiable/if the leaves will reduce nicely.

Hi everyone, I recently picked up a tree from a shop because I really liked the shape. I know nothing about it, however, and neither did the guys in the shop. Could you please help my identify this new buddy of mine so I can take good care of her, and also finding out that will my cat be sick if...

Ok fountain of all bonsai knowledge, am I in the right place for this question? I am scouting potential yamadori and this look promising, but I can't figure out what it actually is. There are quite a few in the woods near me. (Private land and I am on good terms with owners.) In the Dallas...

I purchased this tree earlier this summer from a woman on Craigslist. She couldn't remember which type of Japanese Maple it was. What do you think it is? Thanks in advance :) Attached are pictures of: newly opened leaves; whole tree; mature leaf

Hi I'm new to this site. Recently acquired a new tree I've been told it is a common ash (Fraxinus excelsior). Any help confirming this would be a great help
