Help, doeas anyone know where I can get this Bonsai?
Comments (3)Hey njoasis..Thanks alot for that.. The reason why I asked is because I remember seeing them sold at a local Bonsai nursery and they were cute. There is a very helpful member here on the fragrant forum that has always wanted one of these. When I went to get one, they were sold out. So I surfed the net for one and they were so expensive. I figured some one here might of known a place to get them that would of found them less expensive. Your idea is a great one. I am going to order a cutting fron Logees asap, plant it, or send the basic to start one so that member will he happy. Thanks again for your idea. By the way, I hope you are fine..:-)...See MoreHow can I grow my ponderosa lemon tree like a bonsai plant?
Comments (4)Hi, I've never heard of a Ponderosa lemon (only a pine, or a ranch :-) but what you're asking is for an instant course on a big subject. Bonsai does require more than a couple of tips here, but it's not hard to get started, especially if you already have a healthy tree (plant) to begin with. The quick answers are yes, you have to cut the roots and (in time) use a small pot, but there's a lot to know about those steps, when and how, and which one, etc., not to mention things like lighting, humidity, etc., though you're obviously doing something right to have kept it going this long. It's also very important to know when and how to cut back, because doing it at the wrong time and indiscriminately with regard to what's cut aren't going to get you a nice tree, just a hacked up shrub. I suggest you try to find a bonsai club nearby, because it's the best way to start out... by actually seeing how things are done, finding out about watering (a very big issue in bonsai, which are not treated like house plants), soil mixes (very important too), and what makes a bonsai look good (or not) and why, plus how to do root work, etc. Until then, please don't just stuff it into a little pot as you'll likely lose it, and ditto for root chopping. You can go to www.bonsai4me.com for general info. on basics, www.bonsaitalk.com to ask and share info., and www.bonsaihunk.us/cultural.html for excellent advice on growing tropicals indoors. One thing I will tell you is that bonsai come in all sizes, and that fruit and flowers won't 'reduce' in size like leaves, so you may end up with a relatively larger tree (which is fine) if you want to keep a few lemons on it at any time, or else end up pinching off new fruit buds to keep the tree's energy into growing a bonsai and not to have lemons weighing down branches (or breaking them) all out of proportion to the rest of the tree. Come back and let us know how it goes!...See Moredoes anyone know where i can get named asimina triloba
Comments (15)Brandon7 writes: "I can't imagine why maintaining them in pots would be preferable to growing in-ground" In my experience I've found that pawpaws are more adversely affected by shipping bare-root than many other types of fruit trees - it appears that their root systems, consisting of many fine rootlets are more vulnerable to the various stresses inherent in this process, and transplantation shock to a greater or less degree is the rule. The focus should be to prevent, or if necessary, to decrease the severity of the shock. So buying container grown plants shipped in their container would be best; these can be planted directly in the ground with good results. But if the tree is sent bare-root, there will of necessity be root damage and transplantation shock, and this setback can reduce the vigor of the plant for years. The best remedy I've found to lessen the shock is to provide an optimal environment for the stressed and damaged roots to allow quick recovery. This goal is much better achieved in a pot, where growing conditions, including most importantly the medium and the moisture content, are more readily controlled. It really makes no sense to plant a struggling shocked pawpaw in topsoil with resultant loss of many of the damaged roots and prolongation of the shock state. The focus here is on the short term problem of allowing roots damaged by bare-rooting to recover; once this has occurred, evidenced by vigorous vegetative growth, the tree is ready for planting in the garden....See MoreAnyone know where to get 'Dixie Gem' or 'Dixigem' peach trees?
Comments (1)Try the U-pick and tell them you can't find it anywhere. They may have a source or be willing to sell you some budwood. These old peach varieties are very hard to find, nobody seems interested in keeping them around and many have been lost forever. Google pulled up a U-Pick in Oregon with the peach which may be the place you visited, see link below. Note I expect Dixigem and Dixie Gem are the same. Scott Here is a link that might be useful: U-Pick place with Dixigem...See MoreNeed2SeeGreen 10 (SoCal)
