So, I found this amazing tree...

I did some digging around after Dave4's remark and it seems a very similar tree (looks identical) was discussed at IBC. So it leaves one to question whether this tree is the same and have we all been bamboozled by this whole thing.

If these trees looks the same to you then I may look like Daniel Craig. :o

FYI, I am 100% sure they are not the same (and I haven't seen the other tree for month just from memory).

Go look at bases.

Wow, you really believe this? (another conspiracy theory?)

I do not need to...totally different. In bonsai we work with minor nuances because they make a BIG difference. In this case it is totally 100% different to me. It is like comparing my mom to my dad and ask me to check...NO!

You are correct they are not the same.
 
With the weird weather pattern all across the nation I would not be surprised if Eric lost his internet connection OR is exhausted from collecting that bear and building a box for it...

Finally.

But do you realize that you in a way questioned Eric's integrity? Have you even considered that before you posted this?

Like the name calling you gave (and have given) me?

I sincerely hope you learn from these.
 
FUNNY STORY In the late '80s I drove by an older house in town occasionally. There were 2 large yews that had never been pruned, maybe 10'x10'. Typical bonsai lust. After several lusting episodes I stopped. I knocked on the door and a little old lady,75ish, answered. The name on the mailbox was Jackson so I introduced myself and said. Mrs Jackson, I would like to have those yews and ill gladly replace and/or re-landscape, fill in and leave it as nothing has been done. She sais: Oh honey I couldn't do that. My late husband (bless his heart) planted those 48yrs ago. I told that I appreciated her position but if she ever moved or changed her mind I would buy them. And.she said, OH You mean BUY them. How much would you give? I said Mrs. Jackson it's your property and I'll give you what you want if it's fair. She said $25 and I gave $50 and we were both tickled to death.

Funny...everything (almost) has it's price, right? BTW, do you still have those trees? Would be great to see what they look like today.

What name did I call you?

Without clarifying what had transpired in this post you helped foster the mis-impression. Unless someone cared enough to ascertain by digging between two web sites the difference between the two posts and understand we had a "flash side-ways" and the two trees had nothing to do with each other, it was made to sounded like the tree had been dug and someone may not be telling the truth, or the tree looked bad.

So when it became appearant that I did not understand that you were making a comparison between these two trees on two different sites. Instead of taking the opportunity to tell me the facts you informed me that I did not know the conversation.
 
The other collected Juniper (not the one with pics in this thread) also had a thread here on the nut board. If I remember right he collected that one about the same time I collected my 3....Some time in July.....I'm sad to say the 2 largest of mine I planted in the ground and they both have died....The one in the grow box is still going strong.

I guess not. :(

Sounds like it is now my duty to educate you and failure to do so gives you free reigns to whatever you want to say. It is also my responsibility to dig up what you said, otherwise you didn't say it? Entitlement anyone?

Like your request for me to look at the pic again, my answer to this is NO!

Bye Vance! :)

Much as I want to vote for the latter, I won't. I hope he waits until the optimum time to collect. :)

Yep he posted it here too.

Interesting Brian. I appreciate that info comparing ground vs box grown. Care to let us know how your ground soil is? Thanks!
 
I think one of the big problems with planting right back in the ground is that you have much less control over the environment. If it's in a box, you can move the box in the shade/sun as appropriate, control wind/cold exposure easily, and use a nice loose soil mixture. Plus if it's in the ground you subject it to additional trauma the next time you dig it up, since the root system will not remain contained like it will in a box.

If you plant into a box with the right kind of drainage holes, with a lot of screen opening like a colander the tree will recover quicker.
 
I never understood the point of digging something up then replanting it in the ground. I would put it in a training pot or box.

I'm done with you Dario. I admitted I was wrong but you just keep at it.

It's too bad your Avatar is not exactly the truth.

Comments and critique always welcome. No need to sugar coat, brutal truth welcome & encouraged.

Chris, those were sold at the Detroit Convention in the early '90s. I was vending there and they sold the first day. Being from the south I didn't realize how popular they were/are in the North.
 
I admitted I was wrong ...

Unless I missed it, you NEVER did. What you admitted to, is being wrong on the trees being one and the same, that is it. Very minor compared to the other "imfractions". :rolleyes:

Regarding my tag line (NOT avatar) note the word "TRUTH".

I am done with you too. Thanks.
