Well today was pine day. The pines came later in the evening yesterday and when I got home today I started right in on making the future trees. They came in individual capsules of potting medium out of what I can imagine was a test tube. Very neatly packed and came very quickly. They came from...

So as previously mentioned I found several clay pots under my benches that had been placed in the drip line of larger trees. This was due to the fact that last year I built a completely new watering system on my benches. This particular pot contained Korean hornbeams. I removed them from the pot...

I found this pot in my raised beds where I grow vegetables. Im assuming I kept it because they looked interesting. I think someone gave this pot of seedlings to me and now I found them and wish to do something with them. There were fifteen, what look like second year seedlings. I put them into...

Its almost the end of the year, and it dawns on me that I have not made a post for 2024. So I thought I would show this thing and how its doing after two years. I did look and didn't find a thread on this, and if I missed it, sorry, here it is again. The stump was dug from a field in 2022. It...

Trident....what else? 7 inch trunk, 9 inch spread

Well...last girlfriend after my Wife died, had a heart attack during Covid and died too. Only 58 years old. Back to online dating, found the love of my life. We meshed from day one and never looked back. We got together in Sept of 2020, and did the dating thing during covid. Not an easy thing...

I look in from time to time. Seems there needs to be some things to talk about rather than selfie contests and the such. Any good trees to show here lately?

I bought each of these small pines in the middle of March. I have worked them for only 5 months and this is where they are so far. Pine 1

Al Keppler here, wishing to see what is going on in this neck of the woods. I am posting this pine here. It is a pine I have had for five years. It sits on one of my benches. It's just not going anywhere and I have no idea why. I would really love to hear some critiques of the piece and do not...

In this thread, if you have the balls, post up your best tree, in fact if you have them, post up your best three. I can ask, but no one will listen, if you post no tree, please do not comment. I/we are not interested in your rhetoric. You wish not to join in with your best work, then stay...

I have decided to go back into bonsaiNut seclusion. This is not a place I wish to post work to any longer, and in fact if it was in my power I would remove everything I have ever posted here. The forum is not capable of removing the person from the work, and the truth hurts people, I can...

This is a running thread for 2020 and development of this material from the beginning to show quality. A couple I bought just over a year ago and a couple I bought earlier this year. Three of them I bought today for working into quality shohin over the next five years. I plan to show the process...

If a person has questions or wishes to enter into a discussion about certain trees or why things are done the way they are, this would be the place to do that. That way we can have a quiet place with just beautiful trees to look at while the winter brings us such harsh conditions. Thanks, ajk

This is a thread for displaying properly composed displays of bonsai. You tree should be set against a plain color backdrop, tree on proper stand, an accent and on a stand, and any other accoutrement you deem popular. The display should be composed after this date, and be fresh and not a photo...

This thread; https://www.bonsainut.com/threads/growing-some-tridents-from-seed.12974/ Was wondering if anyone else did any seeds years ago and had any trunks to share?

I recently found this in the bargain section of a large nursery. I have never had a barberry and have no idea of it's growth habit. This will be a OJT experience for me, which is the way I like it. Even if someone has experience and chimes in, due to my growing weather that info may be useless...

I wasn't going to post this to Nut, recently it just seems like a waste of time. ...but then I read this...https://www.bonsainut.com/threads/bonsai-for-real.40610/#post-688751 This material is not great or even outstanding, but it did have something and that is what I was interested in and...

Watch the White House Oct 19.

When you get to the part about pots and stands, just look at all the stands there. Finding any in a nursery is a crap shoot here in America. Lots of pots, and not a Royola in sight!!! I almost bit the end of my tongue off when he got to the mini tridents....

It seems to me that it would be a good move to add some minimum requirements to BonsaiNUT. After three years of joining, one would have to provide an article about a tree that they have taken from nothing to something. Then once a year thereafter. A form of giving back. A notice would appear on...

Today I identified the material I wish to give a makeover to in a couple months. These trees have had a styling, or in some cases a few stylings over the years. All of them are in desperate need of work and repotting. This shimpaku has only had one styling and that was four years ago. Based on...

This Utah Juniper and crabapple bonsai stolen from the collection at Lake Merritt last week. If you see it, please contact Mr. John Nackley at jnackley@gmail.com.

Sept. 15, 2019 I dug this from the neighbors yard. They were cleaning up a planter and this came up next to a palm tree. It has been pruned before because it has a few dried canes on it. The flesh has flowed around the dead portions and has kept going. I was able to dig it out quite easily with...

While looking for inspiration for a new stand it occured to me that I had made a stand some years ago that I wished to duplicate. The stand was for one of my Chinese tea pots, and I felt the stand had to feel Chinese also. In looking thru Asian antique stores along the coast I remember seeing...
