Hey Sergio, your maple is looking great as always! Do you mind sharing any of the judges critique of the tree? I'm sure it was well received, and I can't imagine there was anything they didn't like about it. lol! Maybe in the thread for this tree? Of course don't if you don't want to. :)

Welcome to the forum! You might just be the second or third Wyomingite here... lol. I'm a bit sick of winter as well, but I think you may be one of the few that has a shorter growing season than I do. I'm in the southeast part of the state (Douglas).

There are quite a few people who grow Japanese maples in Colorado. I'm not entirely sure about CO Springs in particular, but I don't think it would be an issue. We have club members here in Wyoming who have had them for 20+ years now, and our climate is worse than Springs would be. The most...

Another collected tree. I've been working on this Colorado Blue Spruce since 2012. And hopefully it will go into a pot this spring! :)

Thanks! Yes, I collected this tree a couple of years ago. Here's the earliest pic I have of it:

Awesome trees everyone! Before and after of a Limber pine (Pinus Flexilis):

Not sure what the "But..." is, But... I love the Sara pot for this tree! :)

Good stuff guys! I've played guitar for close to 20 years, and mess around a bit with the piano. Very musical family! I play electric guitar at church just about every weekend of the year for the last 10 years. Me a few years ago. Some fun I had in the bathroom recently... <iframe...

I'm sorry I don't. I think Ryan Neil may have even won the bid on it, but I'm not sure.

Sorry for the terrible pic. This one was styled by Ryan Neil at the 2012 ABS/BCI conference in Denver.

Here's the bristlecone. Different style, but a good example that you don't have to have an ancient tree to make an interesting bonsai. https://dupuich.smugmug.com/Bonsai/Exhibits/BIB-15th-Annual-Exhibit/i-kNDmTZV/0/O/20140119-178-bib.jpg

You will learn to evaluate trees as you go. Some trees have so many issues that would take so much time and effort to fix that you would be far ahead sticking it in your hedge right away and working on other trees.. lol. However, if it survives, I don't personally consider this pinion to be one...

Hi Woodland Spirit, and welcome to the forum! I haven't been on B-nut as much lately, but I used to spend WAY too much time here... lol. If that's possible. I hope to be on here more again soon. - For some background, I collect trees (some very old) from the Rocky Mountains here in Wyoming. My...

Great shot of some nice mugo's Vance! Same Hornbeam from the other side:

White pines look great in the snow! Love it! :) Korean Hornbeam that's going to get slipped into a fancier temporary pot this spring, while I search for the "right" pot.

New post on the blog! https://backcountrybonsai.wordpress.com/2016/01/16/a-second-cork-bark-ponderosa/ Another cork bark ponderosa! :)

Love the blossom! And Great trees all around. :) Did you lose any trees in the wind?

Looking good! Mine is just a seedling on it's own roots, so it is VERY slow growing... lol. But I'm really enjoying it anyway! The fruit on mine is just beginning to yellow a bit now.

Great work Judy! :)

Nice project there Sergio! ;) Here's one of my projects : Aspen

I absolutely love this thread! It's awesome that you started this at the age of 3 and still have it now!! :) My son will be born any day now, and I'm going to start something like this with him when he's old enough to know what he's doing. I may start one the day he's born just for fun too...

Looks like a fun tree Bonhe! I have a small one that is growing it's first fruit. @carp , do you have a link to the blog post?

Here's another aspen that I had for a couple of years, and was just beginning to get the design in place. I unfortunately lost this one this year. :( But do I think the species has potential.

Does anyone know what happened to the "Edit" button on our posts? My photo's are messed up on an earlier post and I can't find a way to edit... Here are the pictures that were lost. Aspen: Thanks. Here are closer shots of the beaver damage:

Here's the aspen this fall after leaves fell. I placed a few wires mid summer to direct the few branches that were there.
