Thread: Bonsai enthusiats?

I am pretty sure that is what they do in japan too. Bring trees in for a day or so.I thought it looked like a hornbeam. Nice tree.There is a bonsai shop near boston that I love to go to that has all kinds of trees.Seeing your trees is sparking a road trip( a little over an hour for me).

I just found this thread. I have been in bonsai for nearly ten years now. Started out with Bonsai acquisition disorder (pre-bonsai and specimen material); as most of bonsai enthusiasts have, I have killed many tree on the path to bonsai zen. My collection is now limited to about a dozen trees, most of the tropical or native Texas species.

Forgo to add, I am also an avid suiseki enthusiast...

Been doing Bonsai for years. I actually go out into the woods and dig up my own.

It has been a long hard winter but I finally pulled my trees and placed them In sun. Now the repotting and care resumes. Sorry about the picture but you may recognize the tree from an earlier post.

Sorry about the last pic. Here's today.

Beautiful stuff! I'm planning on starting one or two this summer. Any good websites where I should start learning how?

Thanks!

I have learned from books, but suggest you try to find a bonsai studio near you that offers classes or open workshops, etc. Clubs are also available. I've not sought online resources so can't help there.

Should you be crossing Pa via interstate 81 or the turnpike you won't pass far from Nature's Way, a marvelous bonsai studio near Harrisburg. It offers soil mixes, tools, books, nursery stock for bonsai, old trees, classes, guest artists, etc. Owner, Jim Doyle is well respected nationwide. Bring $ because because because
