1. Spend some $$$ on one good tree. I'm thinking a ground grown or collected pine.
2. Show a tree. I don't think I'm quite there yet with any of my trees but it is a goal.

Spend more time collecting and find that " world class" yamadori that is just waiting on top of the mountain in that elusive rock pocket.

Hmmm let’s think...
1. I got permission to dig up some Forsythia clumps in the spring. So one resolution is to collect successfully on my first time collecting.
2. Go slower on junipers! I had two junipers revert to scale last year because I moved too fast with them. This year I am taking my time!!!

Improve、 improve、improve. Grow、grow、grow. Better nebari、 branches、& wounds.

Forsythia is easy to collect no big taproots and strong growers recover well from collection so good choice to do a first collect

Times 2: Begin long slow expensive process to buy actual Bonsai pots for trees ready for same
. Development work in much greater amount on present trees!

I'm going to get more ground space so my cheap sticks have a place to develop.

Fertilizer?
That’s not controversial. I’m thinking that a topic like “is bonsai a craft? Or art?” Those kind of topics get everyone all fired up.

- Wire more stuff
- Successfully collect a conifer (larch or spruce, probably)
- Successfully repot a mugo
- Successfully air-layer a juniper
- Successfully repot a nursery juniper while reducing the roots heavily
- Put a potentilla in a bonsai pot
- Not lose a single tree because of neligent care
- Be on top of things in terms of fungicide/insecticide with my deciduous trees (goddamn apple trees)
- Not end up the year with more than an additional 5 trees or so (could mean getting rid of some projects I have now)
Procumbens? Clip-and-grow vs. wiring?

Wiring.... you'll probably only post a few times a month, though. We will miss you!

Those topics don't seem to generate the level of interest they used to. I think (most) people are realizing it's pointless. Same with the "American bonsai" issue.
As for myself, I resolve to continue to rid myself of the lesser material I've accumulated over the years, maybe add a nice tree or two, buy some pots, stay out of fights on bonsainut and facebook...I think that's enough for now!
So, you guys don’t want me posting about pines, or about wiring... ok, those are the only things I know anything about!
So, I guess the only topics left for me to post are tropicals, and the use of mud men in advanced display!
