Thanks, thats it. I must have scrolled past that 25 times just today alone!

Is this the Kanta from Bonsai Q? bonsai Q

I know there are some people that lurk here and am hoping to lure them out with this challenge. I don't know much about this pot. I have lusted over it for 35 years. Had to wait for the original owner to give it up, to a friend whom he offered it to because he had the means to buy it right away...

I been reading a lot at Bonsaify, Eric Schrader, great guy and very good at bonsai. I have met him before and he is as nice in person as in his video's. What I wanted to tell is that he did the same things with small plants in the beginning by placing them on tiles, pots, and wood in order to...

An area in the back of the property was prepared to grow them out and prepared bonsai soil was mixed in 50/50 with the sandy loam. Each tree was planted and then I added some bamboo hoops so I don't trip over them and I know where they are when I come thru with the weed sprayer. Tomorrow I will...

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...

I just want the shape, a lot will grow out of it and smooth out. It is a fact that out of the ordinary twisted material always sells first. Even if the buyer has no clue what to do with it, just the look sells. The vendor always goes back home with trees that look like trees.

UREA and it only comes in 50 pound bags or larger and is designed to be used in the commercial farming trade which means that it can carry a 50 percent or more premium. But Urea is expensive to make but it is good, really good.

I took my seeds out of the packet and threw them in a small pot, and let nature do its thing.

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...

So about 70,000 American.

Whats the exchange?

A lot of things in the world have changed since I was here for decades ago. Not for the good either. Bonsai has become one of those hobbies that could be done on a scale that was possible twenty years ago for hardly any money at all. Since covid and inflation, bonsai has become a hobby for the...

Remove tree and tease away soil. Trim root back 50 percent and can be repotted right back in same container. Don't over think soil nor get caught up in hype about how bonsai soil has to be magical. Soil around a tree is there in nature because it offers an anchorage point for roots so the tree...

Interesting....I have about $100,000.00 in pots at my place

Thanks, I have had a rough three years. I bought a small bag of fertilizer from Lilly Miller as I didn't have much at this house after moving here 4 years ago. I put the stuff on the trees and in about three months I started noticing leaves turn brown, the whole branches and I had no idea what...

This is Oshio Beni maple. Very large bonsai about three feet tall. Bright scarlet red leaves last until about end of July and then get a purpleish green color. Fall gives good display but mine always seems to drop its leaves while they are still purple. And then at the last minute I get Fall...

Funeral pyre

While looking around in the back yard, It dawns on me that I bought a bunch of seeds and planted all sorts of plants in small pots. I just found a pot full of seedling hornbeams, all pretty small but one of them was big as a pencil and 18 inches tall. I'm gonna give them the Keppler Kinc...

Hope it is, they grow fast in the ground. I'll plant it out Tuesday, supposed to rain here thru Monday. In five years I should have a twisted up clump of fused wood. ....and.... there is no evidence of thorns beginning??

The bottom is great and the trunk has good movement but starts to get wonky as soon as soon as it gets to the branches. I have built my share of trident maples, and this needs to start over. That branch I kept is what will become the new leader, with a taper point and a direction change. Get...

I tried four plant ID apps and all of them come up with pyracantha as the most promising while American cranberry comes in a close second. I am pretty sure I got this from Ed Clark when I got the big trident stump. I remember him talking about cranberry and it being something he wanted to try also.

It almost looks like some sort of azalea???? It does have hairy leaves.

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...
