Summer clearance maple

I have purchased a couple of these in the last 2 years. A local garden center gets rid of their japanese maples in July for $7.50. They are in 1 gallon pots with trees that are about 6-7 feet tall. Keep on the look out for material. You never know what you might find, even in 100°f heat of...

Progression of Acer macrophyllum D

I’ve posted this tree here and there, but it doesn’t yet have its own thread. (Huh, maybe I should just have one bigleaf maple thread?!) Like the other 3 Acer macrophyllum I have, this one was part of a 2012 urban collection from flower beds and against sidewalks. It is an informal broom in the...

Sumo Trident Progression

I bought this small leaf trident maple stump from Jim Doyle at Natures Way Nursery in PA back in 2018. I was newly into the hobby, and decided to chop the leader for taper. I layered too low, and didn’t really improve the quality of the tree (just the nebari). A few seasons later in 2020, @MACH5...

Trident Maple (ROR Progression)

I will be documenting my Trident Maple ROR progression. I have been developing this ROR trident maple since 2016. When I obtained it it was a small 1-2 year old seedling. I had already gone to a stone and gravel store and hand selected 5 large red lava rocks for the purpose of using them in...

Digging a Large Trident Maple

This Trident has been growing in my yard for around 10 years, I think it was probably around 5 years old when I planted it. I had a bunch of earlier pictures of the trunk development, but naturally I lost them. I've allowed it to grow to 15-20 feet and chopped it back to the ground around 5...

Collected Sagebrush (Artemisia Tridentata)

Several threads on these, but I thought I’d start one with my experiences so far. In Taos, NM where my wife is from, there are acres and acres and acres....and acres of Sagebrush. I had been planning to dig some for years but only got to it this spring in late March. I collected 3 small just...

Large squamata juniper

I bought this rather large juniper yesterday. All the foliage is at the end of one long, straight branch. This will be a long term project for sure. I will style it with my new bonsai tutor, over the course of a couple of years. Maybe we will bend the straight branch towards the trunk. Then we...

Stewartia Monadelpha

I have always wanted a Stewartia, and in December 2018, I had the opportunity to dig one from a grower’s field in Georgia: Bare-rooted and washed off the Georgia red clay when I got it home: Potted: By late May, 2019, it was pretty strong, and clearly hadn’t skipped a beat from being dug and...

The 2010 BonsaiNut Maple Project

Al, I love this idea! I've been working on trees for quite a few years, and have never once had a trident maple in a bonsai pot. I've always figured that they were so easy to grow, that I wouldn't have one unless it was a damn good one. I have several trident maples in the ground, and so...
