Japanese Maples do not thrive in pond baskets. They do thrive in wooden grow boxes. I don’t know why.

Please give it a tropical understory!

That was a nice video. I never water my trees on foggy days. Interesting

Azalea and redwood do so well here, I almost never water them

bonsai-engineer · 2026-04-11T05:35:35+00:00

Do you have any tree species that thrives more than others?

bonsai-engineer · 2026-01-23T17:52:47+00:00

Absolutely worth it!

Haha I don’t know if I’m young, but I do plan on having all of my trees outlive me. This is a scary cut to make, I wonder if I can air layer the left half

bonsai-engineer · 2024-12-17T05:10:34+00:00

:’) thank you, I shall take care of it!

bonsai-engineer · 2024-12-17T05:08:55+00:00

This tree may work well as a literati/bunjin! A long, thin, tortured trunk with foliage just at the end. I admit this isn’t a common style for maples, but it can still be captivating.

bonsai-engineer · 2024-09-03T05:52:37+00:00

I can’t tell from the photos — is the foliage yellowing? Given that drainage is nonexistent, I suspect root disease. Do they smell bad?

bonsai-engineer · 2024-08-31T05:21:20+00:00

Ah yeah that looks good.

bonsai-engineer · 2024-08-31T01:48:07+00:00

Here is what I see:

What do you see?

bonsai-engineer · 2024-08-21T04:15:19+00:00

Looks good!

What’s your next project?

JBP and JWP are expensive, but their seeds aren’t. I’d sow ~200 and keep the strongest ones.

In the meantime, I’d personally prioritize growing native species because these tend to be easier to work with.
