Ohh dude , I just see a tree that is laced with turnbuckles and Rebar and think hell yeah brother
 
You aren't doing bonsai till you've dug a nice sized diameter trench around a nice yamadori that wiggles pretty freely, only to find out the only root inside that circle of soil that belonged to the tree was a tap root and the feeder roots were probably 3 miles deep into the hillside which explains why it wiggled so freely.

Yep. Sticky side out!
 
79: You aren't doing bonsai unless you answer the question with: 'Well... do you mean "how many bonsai do I have?" or how many trees do I have total including projects?".
80: You aren't doing bonsai if you know the answer to the second option above.
81: You aren't doing bonsai unless you have your delivery drivers' cell numbers so that you can meet up with them to intercept trees/pots/etc. before they land on your doorstep and your spouse finds out.
82: You aren't doing bonsai unless you've been chased off the mountain by a mountain lion.
83: You aren't doing bonsai unless you realize this hobby is actually a drug, albeit a healthy one, and you now see yourself for what you truly are: A Bonsai Junkie.
84: You're not doing bonsai unless you prefer the company of trees over most people. At least other Bonsai Junkies are cool.

You aren’t doing bonsai unless you named your trees after all family members: (1) family tree, (2) my daughter tree, (3) grandparents tree… etc.

Btw… it does help to get support to buy more (at least in my case) :)

i happen to have "home country tree", "hometown tree" and "grandpa's garden tree" thats as far as i go to naming them, but hey hold great sentimental value
only one of them is unavailable in China, but i still consider the other 2 just as irreplaceable because it literally grew where i lived. not even my baobab is as coveted because it came from a seed that i bought in China
 
-You aren’t doing bonsai if you haven’t had a tropical tree from Wigerts shipped to you in the middle of a blizzard.
-You aren’t doing bonsai if you haven’t read all the posts in the “all aboard the mugo train” and still killed the tree.
 
You aren’t doing bonsai if you didn’t think Gollum was referring to a sweet yamadori instead of a ring the first time you heard him say, “My preciousssss”, in the Lord of the Rings movies.
