I NEED ANY AND ALL HELP!!! Maryland's Eastern Shore, Temperate 7b, A bonsai beginner for over 25 years. This one has me beat... at least it's got me scratching my head. Common juniper, about 3 feet tall when I first saw it. Growing in a run off/ flood drain, no rain for about a month prior to...

Hello all, Zone 8a. I am getting new landscaping put in and in an attempt to beat the landscapers, I dug out one of four, 25’ Crape Myrtles in my front yard. I have the option of getting all 4 obviously but I don’t think I have the time (or energy) for all of them before work is started next...

Namaste to all… originally, my father(r.I.p) had this planted in this unfortunate location, now the wife wants it gone. It’s grown into a really interesting form and I’d like to save it by replanting it somewhere else on the property. Any/all advice is welcomed!

Morning, I was thinking about transplanting these Japanese black pines I bought from ebay today. I understand serious moves like this should be done in spring, but here in northern cali weather isn't so bad yet. I want them to grow bigger so I will transfer to pots a little bigger with a store...

I dug several native oaks (I live in N. Michigan) yesterday b/c they were free and going to be destroyed due to construction. Nice trees, good taper and root spreads, but I'm concerned about keeping them alive given that they were dug in August. I don't have much experience with oaks. Should...

Hello all, I have recently acquired a beautiful Japanese maple and given it's size I am hoping to soon transplant it into a smaller pot. I understand how to trim the roots properly, but am looking for a good mix to plant it in. I know that plain old potting soil is not what you want, but as...

Hello everyone, I am going to stick mainly to this forum, as I have had Bonsai before but they have all been the garden center variety and all died on me. I will be receiving a Podocarpus Macropyllus and a Juniper Nana in the next few days and they will both be 4" trees. I know that I probably...
