Rainbows and unicorns anyone?

Best pot ever...Anyone got a caption? Perhaps a suggestion for a tree to plant it in?

I stand corrected! Colin’s collaberation with you.
Was he not the first to insert it though.
I cracked up when he did

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...

I know that over the last decades things have turned around. But it is nowhere near what it was like when the pilgrims arrived.

maybe he was talking about the amount of trees in a pot aka bonsai.
or it was about the variety of tree species, in or out of a pot

No, you had it right...his idea. I still wish I would have bought that hideous pot!

Nope, There are more deer now...

The Deer Paradox

It’s never been easier to shoot a buck. So why are hunters spending billions on high-tech gear?

Facing the power of the piece pot i feel like i have nothing left to say.

 

[Orion_metalhead]

Im all for elitism and unnecessary coming of age rituals in online settings - it really helps bring the community together. I hope that in three years my sticks in a pot meet the village elder's approval for 3yr old sticks in pots.

Why get emotional? We are all here to get better at the same thing. It doesnt matter if you voted for Trump or if @Smoke Shoots up the White House in 4 days. It's about the trees.

 

[grouper52]

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.

Sorce!!! Don't put down in such a facile manner one of my favorite people here on this site - YOU!!!

I couldn't care less whether your trees met some standard or not! The quality of bonsai and the quality of the people who try to create bonsai have very little correlation, in my experience. I still hope to get up your way someday and meet you and a few others I've met here on BNut - and, quite frankly - although I'd love to see your trees and the trees of others on my travels, still, overwhelmingly, I'd love so much more to meet you and the others!

And this is the meaning of a online community. Some are looking for it and some are just looking for a website with knowledge and there's some who have lost their old community but is have trouble finding one here.

your trees

Thanks G.

I'm not putting myself down!

Just very honest with myself.

If I learned about summer repotting 7 years ago, I would have some great trees by now.

I have a few righteous starts now, but nothing except tropicals over 3 years worked.

I can finally, after 7 or 8 years, keep things alive with the method I chose for sustainability in my garden.


Sustainability, super selfish sustainability.
I want my trees to be around for thousands of years.

Anyway, it's ridiculous to demand evidence of learning/doing.

Especially by someone who falls into the category of "doing bonsai the same way 40 years".

Wanna guess how many of us can relate to this?
