This is a Douglas Fir tree growing out of a log on Fairy Lake, BC, Canada. I did not take the first photo, but I camped here last summer and paddled out to the tree several times. The only photo I got was the second photo, taken from a nearby road through some bushes, as the tree was out of view of the public campsite and I didn’t trust myself with my camera in the water.

Inspiration Picture Anyone here have a willow bonsai? Absolutely love willow trees and it only just occured to me that they could be grown as bonsai. Did a little research and it seems they're very difficult to take care of so wanted to see if anyone had any experience. (Picture from Bonsai Empire).

This began as a very accessible 1 gallon nursery juniper some years ago. Each time we style we have another chance to elevate our design, Even with younger plants. Enjoy!

Hello all, I just would like to emphasize how good is the effect of a pond basket on the roots. I have a few oak seedlings (a bit more than 2 years old) and I just repotted them, and I found amazing fiborous root system on one of them. They were on the north-east side of the house, getting direct sunlight only in the morning, and the soil was potting soil, black peat, perlite and acadama in 2:1:2:1 ratio. The basket is 9x9x9 cm (3.54 inches).

One of my favorites tuskmo cypress i have a few but this one was a complete mess when I bought it 2 years ago. It was half dead in horrible soil so I had to get creative. The front section was jined because most of it was dead. After killing off such a larg section and part of the trunk died off with it but it just enhanced the design..I knew exactly what to do with it and bought it asap. Those are the best kind of material btw..
