Deciduous yamadori in the US

Go on Source.

I followed the Paris exchange.

I am aware of the misunderstanding.

If it were me, I don't know if I would have read it clear either....cause I love my children.

I have tried to bring peace.....
But what can I say.....I'm not God.
I only play one in this forum!

Fair enough. We all love our kids. I just don't like her sitting out there somewhere thinking there's another person out there who is being an asshole to her in a public forum when it's not the case. I fully respect another person's right to a different opinion. I just expect the same in return. If she wants to put me on ignore because we share different opinions, and then make assumptions about my behavior I guess that's her prerogative. What I don't appreciate is her expressing her flawed assumptions about my character in a public space. That's just not cricket.

It's because I like Darlene soo much that I don't want her to feel that either!

Thanks!

Well, there's nothing I can do about it as I'm on ignore. Oh well. Onwards and upwards. There's nothing more I can do to rectify things.

Well, I've been waiting for some other pics of deciduous natives. Surely there must be others out there. While we wait, I decided to put up a pic of my old beech. Collected 27 years ago it's beginning to get there. As someone said earlier in this post, it takes long time to build these things. Roughly 2 more years and it's ready for a pot. Mainly working on the bottom right side main branch, it's got to thicken just a tad more. As you already know, american beech is apical dominant, so keeping low branches strong is essential. Since it's finally dormant I'll get pruning and shaping done in the next few days and I'll repost it here. It came from a 20 footer taken down to a 16 inch stump with no branching whatsoever. After shaping it will measure 30 tall, 26 wide. Rootage is 13 inches at soil level and the trunk measures 4 1/2 inches just above the roots. Let's see some others folks.

How is the beech doing now? Do you have a progression thread for it?

Hey folks, it's dark now, but I'll try to get pics of my Titi's and put them on tomorrow. They are not in bonsai pots yet, hopefully in the spring. 4 years out of the swamp, they develop fairly fast if they are healthy. I agree Vin. May put up pics of my old beech and live oak as well.

@Vin and @Steve Kudela I’ve got tons of swamp titi around. I had been performing some cutback experiments on some less desirable trees to understand their responses before I start digging them out of the ground.

These are a few I have my eye on. It is really interesting to see how they have light grey bark when in areas with less inundation and redder bark where they endure regular standing water.

Putting them in pots proved too much for my knowledge of the species at the time. One died and I put the other back in the ground. It's about 10 feet tall now. I still find them interesting but Ive been cutting way back on my bonsai work as I'm preparing to move to North Georgia. Good luck and keep us posted!
