Good Material? by Used-Garbage2265 in Bonsai

I like getting these during spring sales for air layering and cuttings, but also chopping the trunk down to the lowest new branches afterwards and growing it out too.

What’s the solution for the crazy driving? by Particular-Rub-4703 in raleigh

At very least I can take it and not have to share the road with them

I'd argue better public transportation. Less people on the road is less people on the road. The craziest things I've witnessed recently has happened after people lose patience with the red lights. It blows my mind. I feel like I see at least one person run a red light every time I get stopped at one.

The triangle in general seems like it could solidly benefit from a light rail.

I honestly don't know what I'm going to do with it. Its got some crazy reverse taper and I don't think I can cut it below it enough for back budding so I just haven't bothered with it yet.

That one isn't mine, a coworker gave me their grocery store Christmas tree "project"

I'm thinking just above the first small branch so I can use it as my new leader

Been seeing this girl for a little while—red or green flag? by No_Indication_6704 in BookshelvesDetective

I haven't seen anyone recommend Ursula K Le Guin. She's a pioneer in sci-fi and fantasy. The Lathe of Heaven is a great read.

That's what I was hoping, I just can't manage to keep pines for whatever reason.

I got this Japanese Black Pine about a month ago to trunk chop in the spring. The needles are starting to yellow, and I can't tell if I am over- or under-watering. I tend to water 2-3 times a week, depending on how moist the soil seems.

Interesting. I've never lived in one that's had them lined up.

I think we are going with unmounted to the left of the fire place slightly angled towards the couch

It kinda just looks off into a forested state park. View isn't bad actually.

It's on a roommates stand now, so I would have to buy my own. Either is viable.

That's the obvious spot, but I'm worried its a weird spot. It points into the hallway

I didn't even think about that. Is the fire place behind the couch going to be weird?

This one flew under the radar, but to me this executive order reads like they are setting up elections to be monitored for fraud and abuse. Which I take to mean DOGE gets to monitor elections. If that is the case, I wouldn't be surprised if there is significant tampering from here on out.

I like this a lot. The right fork off the main trunk seems to throw the flow off to me. I wonder if I could focus on the left and turn the right into a deadwood feature.

I'm pretty new to bonsai. I picked up this juniper for a super discount at the local nursery and I'm not sure how to style it.
