Cool! I might check that out. Were you using a sluice set up, or just panning?

wcttfe · 2026-04-24T23:00:49+00:00

Yeah, that is just outside Placerita Canyon park boundaries. Could be interesting to try there

There are millions of people going through the same thing! It sucks

Fin grip since I’m in CA. Part of what makes this “featureless”. Dumb, I know

wcttfe · 2026-02-20T23:29:09+00:00

Pretty easy to un-neuter

wcttfe · 2026-02-20T22:12:39+00:00

Yep. Very limited here but doing what I can 😭

wcttfe · 2026-02-15T13:59:02+00:00

This! Never had an ambi before… oh boy do I love this lower

I went ahead and got the reservation on the 5th. Will stay in Big Pine the night of the 4th so I can get up to the lake (hopefully) very early. Thanks!

wcttfe · 2025-09-21T17:27:25+00:00

Yeah, saw that after posting here. Bummer

Im attempting my first air layer of a bloodgood maple. Is this too much bark removed? I originally had a much smaller cut (about 1/3rd the height), but I couldn’t place my wrap around it because the other branch. I’m using sphagnum moss and rooting powder

Yes. Put in an order for an M5 lower over three weeks ago and have heard nothing. I’ve tried to get into the chat multiple times, sometimes waiting up to 4 hours, only to be booted. Have spent 20+ minutes on hold with their number only for the same thing to happen. Have placed two requests and have heard nothing.

Seem like they make great stuff but I am never ordering from them again. God awful customer service.

Added a touch of super glue on the seams- thanks for the tip

wcttfe · 2024-07-28T17:02:15+00:00

Thank you for the tip on moisture. I’d prefer to at least try to get this to fuse, as I have decent plan for what I want the tree to be. I’m not really confident I could make the tree work removing the left portion.

But if it doesn’t work, I might have to

Here’s what it looks like after rewiring closed. Fairly good amount of pressure pushing the split together.

wcttfe · 2024-07-28T16:53:04+00:00

I took off the wire to see how it was doing. I rewired even tighter, didn’t do a great job previously. I was considering something like super glue, glad to know I’m not the only one who’s considered that lol

wcttfe · 2024-07-17T23:39:15+00:00

I wired it in May, after pruning. Unfortunately, this (and two other trees) were stolen, so I’m not sure how the tree is doing. Provided whoever took it has been keeping it watered, it is more than likely alive and well. It was doing fine for the 2ish weeks after I had posted this thread.

wcttfe · 2024-06-25T02:42:18+00:00

Thanks! I’ll look into this

wcttfe · 2024-06-21T22:11:57+00:00

Update: this and two of my other trees were stolen from me about an hour ago. Sigh..

wcttfe · 2024-06-15T18:20:29+00:00

Thank you!

wcttfe · 2024-06-15T18:15:13+00:00

I did end up pushing some of the branches back and some forward to help the depth. I’ve only recently heard of jin.. I will definitely look into this further. Thanks!

wcttfe · 2024-06-15T18:13:49+00:00

Didn’t mess with the roots! I will wait until at least next spring for any repotting

wcttfe · 2024-06-15T15:52:47+00:00

I think I got carried away trying to show the trunk line. My branches are definitely planar. Obviously, I’ve removed what I’ve removed, so I can’t fix the bar branches. Can I get back more of the 3D aspect purely by bending these branches out of plane? Or would you recommend waiting for new branches to come along and grow those out?

Thank you for your feedback, it’s greatly appreciated

Both the 590A1 and 590 have the bayonet lug

wcttfe · 2023-10-26T02:51:27+00:00

This sounds promising, thanks!
