pine

Just got my first Japanese Black Pine, still pretty new to pines in general. I picked this one up on Muranaka's ebay page. I feel like it has great potential. I've always loved shohin pines and I've done a fair amount of reading on here and Bonsai Tonight. The concepts are just beginning to make...

It's been a while since I started anything from seed, and I'm on a bit of a pine kick so I started collecting for next year. So far I have ripe cones from what I believe to be: Bosnian pine, Mugo, a glaucus Scot's pine, and a green Scot's pine. I'm trying to stick with species that are easily...

Just wanted to say hello, my JWP is been doing great. Still a newbie year, going on 5months now. Tho its fall and as it gets colder, I wanted to ask your input on "winterizing" to prevent any damage from any freezing temps that are just around the corner. Im in Zone 7A, right now the nights...

Hello everyone, I have had a Chinese Elm since 2013 and it is now 9 years old. It's a low maintenance tree that keeps it's round shape throughout it's life (at least with the way it was pruned), so my experience is kind of lacking. Ever since I bought that first bonsai, I have wanted to make my...

Hello! Let me start off by saying that I've set out on a very ambitious project; propagate at least one whitebark pine sapling from harvested pine cones. • Why I Want Whitebark Pine: - I moved to Montana several years ago and was struck by how beautiful this endangered (and naturally rare)...

Been lurking here for a couple weeks, saw the fall 2016 challenge and decided that it was now or never. This is a "green penguin" scots pine that I picked up this morning. In the nursery, it seemed like there was potential, but now I have my doubts. I like the gentle curve of the longer trunk...

Hello all, i'm 23 years old and i'm getting a pretty good collection going. I really want to get started on a pine but i'm not sure what species would work best. i'm looking for the traditional pines you see near the coast, anything but juniper. Recommendations?

....was walking one of my dogs this morning and spotted these little pines about to get mowed by the ditch gang. I asked them if they could leave em so i could come back and get them later, but that was a no go. So with no tools on me, one hand holding on to my dogs leash, did the ol' grab and...

Hey guys. So this is my first post here. I'm really new to this so bear with me XD Okay so I grew this pinus Radiata from seed 2 years ago and now I'm seriously wondering what to do with it. I've hardly done anything on it as I've been scared to mess it up too much (it's basically impossible for...

I want to make some room for some propagation projects I am doing. I will let these go in bundles of 3 for $16 plus shipping. Bundles of 3 because it works good with the small shipping tube. They are too tall for most of my other boxes. They are between 18"- 25" tall so not super tiny.

Hello. Getting an early spring here. Yay! Getting ready to start this pine also. Forgot the species name. Don't think it is a ponderosa but couldn't resist adding it to the title. Since everyone has kindly suggested leaving my 4 inch tall birch to grow for some time, I have been considering...

i just noticed this today. I'm not sure if this is normal? Is it fungus? The needle tips are yellowing over most of the cork bark JBP.

Growth style, tips for a newbie in conifers/pines. I'm thinking of going for a flattened hokidachi. No, I'm not crazy, and i know that style is almost unheard of in most pines, but it is the natural shape of a Stone/Italian Pine, and i put what's natural for a mature specimen in the specific...

1st branch raised; now we can see the trunk exit the soil. Bottom Jin will be reduce or removed. 1st branch will be reduced; but for now I'm going to use it to thicken the lower trunk.

Here is what it looks like after some basic wiring and re-potting! :-)

I was at Peter Teas house just before GSBF convention. He had one extra black pine that someone did not purchase.....lucky me!
