sapling

Moved from Oregon to Texas in January, my little three year old Chinese Elm sapling had been wintering in a leafless state and then the warm sunny days caused it to explode in thick leave coverage. It was beautiful and healthy. Then I forgot to bring the tree inside when it dipped below...

Hello everyone, I have been silent here for a long time. I am now back for some of your precious suggestions, please. I need to plan the next 2 years of the oak sapling I started in 2019 from a by-post nursery tree. The progression is shown below. I have been surprised by the growth of the trunk...

Hi everyone! I’m new to bonsai (honestly new to long term plant care in general) and I’m not sure what to do for my maple sapling. My boyfriend gave this one to me at the beginning of August and we potted it in this pot at that time. I’m worried about drainage as I live in the PNW in a North...

During fall-winter 2016 I collected roughly 100-150 live oak acorns from a friends property located a short drive from the sierra national forest. I have been unable to determine the exact species of oak but so far the closest match is the Coast Live oak. Leaves have sharp pointed tips and the...
