Too early means mouse motels with a bark restaurant on the top floor. I put out mouse food this time of year to preclude that.

I don't think anybody should post any more trees on here just so you don't have to see them.
Why bother.
You're so much better at bonsai than anyone else.
Why to hear you tell it,Ryan Neil would be a nobody without your help.
I know it must be hard being the best and I would hate to clutter up your greater intellect with images of what you would think were subpar trees.
I used to have respect for you but not anymore.
You don't like music?
Too bad.
Don't click on the links.
You don't like politics?
Quit bringing them up.
You don't like offensive language?
Quit being an asshole.

Here is a Mugo Pine Krumholz I started working on about three years ago. It will need another year or two before it is cobbled down into a showable composition.

It's shit, not unlike the earlier posted elms.
Of course....
We know that VW uses time and skill to make good trees.
That other feller can't though.
Sarcasm of course.
I just don't understand when this thing became a friggin race.
I became so OK with this taking so long, that I don't give a shit about showing anyone a good tree. I'm simply not there yet.
More sarcasm.....
Don't listen to anything I have to offer after 7 years of watching and learning and doing, because I'm supposed to have a great tree already.
It's just goddamn stupid.
Discipline, some of us have it, some of us make trees with shitty branching.

Just for the sake of transparency I feel it is necessary for those who have come to this forum with little obvious experience insert themselves in the middle of discussions of techniques and strategies suggesting that they actually know from experience what they are talking about. They should at least be able to demonstrate that they actually are involved in growing and developing a bonsai or two. We have in the past had people show up here telling everyone how to do bonsai when they actually do not have a single tree of their own.

This is why I've learned more about bonsai watching baseball games than reading here.
More about relationships reading here than being in them.
And a tad bit about volcanoes fucking with late night drunk burritos.

If studying trees has taught me anything; It's not about the strongest or the smartest, it's about the one most willing to adapt.

Lol, been reading darwin lately?

Yes, Darwin did great work in exploring the notion adaptation and how it aplies to evolution. It also aplies on a much smaller scale. Theres a reason why any given area of a forest is not just one type of plant. Each one leaves room for others to grow and shine. Each one playing its part.
The problem comes when we are given the option to choose the part we want to play.

That's not the way the world works. It's a pleasant, if technically inaccurate thought, followed by a Downerthink caveat. The mature forest floor is barren. Nothing grows until something else falls down, and foreign seeds are few and far between.
There are more trees in the USA now than when the Pilgrims landed. How would you characterize the part that forest firefighters choose to play?

What a load of bullshit
There is 25% less forested land now then when the first europeans arrived.

What he's getting at is in the last 100 years, there has been a net gain in forest cover in the U.S. particularly in the eastern U.S. Forest growth has been exceeding deforestation in the U.S. for some time. There is more forest cover now in the U.S. than 100 years ago. do a search, might not fit squarely in the "world is ending" scenario, but its true. There has been a sharp decline, however, in tropical forests in the same period...
Global land change from 1982 to 2016 - Nature
Satellite data for the period 1982–2016 reveal changes in land use and land cover at global and regional scales that reflect patterns of land change indicative of a human-dominated Earth system.

The Planet Now Has More Trees Than It Did 35 Years Ago
Tree cover loss in the tropics was outweighed by tree cover gain in subtropical, temperate, boreal, and polar regions.
