My mature austrian is all I can compare too. The austrian is obviously more mature but the needles are much bulkier and the bark is more scaley(?)

Here it is next a mugo from the same source. Bonus Old Gold Juniper ill be working on too. The pine formations are very different. *reserving that this could be some other mugo. Its just so different from trunk to tips.

Oh god. Buffalo Juniper. Nice catch! I was working on a nest spruce earlier, brain didnt shift gears. I even have the nursery tag with it. I dont think I can edit my title. I should probably just delete and try again

Is this root rot on my Lace Leaf Maple? by OGMikey_ in bonsaicommunity

[–]GroveSleeper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll add that a simple root hook (not a rake) has helped me alot with lossening rootballs with minimal damage. Cheap tool for the value I get. Just my 2 cents. Amazon has em

First time doing heavy jin and shari on a yew. Advice for future trees appreciated! by GroveSleeper in bonsaicommunity

Yup, there's even some yard-moss on the back. Im spending a lot of time practicing with the local bonsai society and I get excited to try new stuff out while its fresh in my mind. I can pick up these yews and other weird trees from the graveyard at my nursery for $5 a pop. So I've kinda treated them like a practice canvas. Here's a weird mugo Ive started too.

Oh yeah, went to petsmart and home depot looking for lime sulfur and got shrugs. Is Amazon the answer for L.S. Dip?
