serious, Peter was the guy who got me into bonsai somewhere during the early 90's.. im so happy i just recently discovered he was on KZfaq!! and wish i could visit his nursery and help/joining him for a while. Seeing him doing his stuff, i even more appreciate him. Love and like his workflow. See him battering that elm with the long pruningscissors, using it as a hammer?! priceless. Mr Chan, u are my first ever bonsai hero.

They cut all the adult trees down, hoping to kill off the beetle living on adult trees that spread the virus. A bit like tackling covid by killing off all the adult humans because kids don't get as sick from covid. Meanwhile in Holland which gave the disease its name the elms are back and thriving. Would have made more sense to plant as many elms as possible everywhere.

The hardest part is making sure youre not "stealing" from a logging development or park. Otherwise just go to a nice mountain and look for smaller trees with nice trunks. Check as many trees that are as small or large as you can and you'll find something nice. Transport is easy, you can pack a heavy duty plastic or canvas bag or a simple plastic planter pot and fill with the soil around the tree. When you get home pot it properly and wait about a month, to make sure it adjusts to the new environment, before you trim and prune

@chasingthefish9042 Жыл бұрын
Depends on how much root you have to take off, what species it is, your local climate, so on and so fourth. I dug up a boxwood at the beginning of last month cut the majority of the roots balanced the top and put it in a pot. Its now growing new leaves so the roots are recovering. Fall for some species is when they grow alot of roots. With that said I have a mild winter in zone 8b without snow and frost is not a huge deal here.
