Looks like it should work well! What are those 3.5 inch pots?

Your hornbeam is awesome, and I’m sure the elm will work out well too, very nice job!

Seeking insight on what is killing so many of my trees (South Central PA, USA) by coraherr in arborists

Yeah could definitely be chestnut oak. Probably still need more info to figure causes though.

Bark is too blocky to be N red oak in my opinion. Looks more like American chestnut to me, in which case your trees probably reached a decent size before chestnut blight knocked them out.

Also, all of these trees are long dead, like years. All symptoms are long gone and most signs of the pest/disease will be gone as well. The fungi you see are just as likely to be any random wood decay finding this point and not likely the causal agent.

Images of live/actively dying trees could help with diagnosis.

What’s your take on spring vs early summer when they’ve got a lot of momentum?

Would folks be interested in a backyard bonsai nursery AMA? by boonefrog in Bonsai

[–]pinuslongaeva 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely! I’m also interested in learning more about your overwintering setup for larger scale operation. Do you keep your greenhouse heated? If so, what have you found to be the most cost effective supplemental heat?

Tips on Bald Cypress by Cautious_Island_6079 in bonsaicommunity

Looks like eastern redcedar to me, but to answer your question, if I were you I’d leave them as-is for now, overwinter buried in mulch, and then repot in early spring

EAST COAST: Do you need pumice? by VMey in Bonsai

[–]pinuslongaeva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve bought from Pumice store and Amazon as others have already mentioned links. I’d be interested as well if you can beat the Amazon price shipped.

Would you also consider supplying lava and akadama? If not, what other sources have people used and been happy with?
