I really appreciate you taking us along on your adventure! The pics are awesome, this is some really cool stuff:) A few questions i'm curious about: -What is the difference between Bonsai and Bonbai? I haven't heard much about Bonbai and I'm curious to hear anything you've learned about it...

-Would it be better to refrain from removing any of the existing soil to minimize stress as much as possible? I would remove the tree from it's current pot and use a chop stick, or root hook to gently comb the roots out. I might actually water the tree once you've taken the tree out to see how...

Yes, I think Coreana and Turczaninowii are the same thing. It's interesting you see both names being used.

Excited to follow along with your Bonsai journey and this thread:)

I think the biggest change in the last 15 yrs for American Bonsai has been all the younger people doing apprenticeships and sharing the info they learned both online and in person. While all these people were around in 2010, their impact to American Bonsai was significantly less -Peter Tea...

We are so lucky to have you in the US!

I'm bumping an almost 15 yr old thread for funsies, we have 5 years to go still until we can see what was actually right and wrong. Nice work BVF, I think you were pretty accurate in your predictions regarding advancing more rapidly, people still working with Native trees(this has only...

Hey Mr. Bonsai, I'd recommend the following: Full Sun- Coast live oaks seem to do best for me in full sun. How much direct sunlight does it get through out the day? You want to find the spot in your yard that get's the most sun throughout the day and put it there. They can handle even more...

Done:)

I can get down with a Winter show, I'd love to see some Ume in bloom. I don't hate the idea of alternating Fall/Winter dates to get more varieties of trees at their peak. Thanks Eric!

I know Canada Bonsai has some Deshojo available right now, he posted a story on his IG today with 8 left.

I had a loosely related question for the powerful @Eric Schrader, I'm wondering if it makes sense to push the expo back by 2-4ish weeks next time around? Simply to try and get some more awesome fall color.
