bonsai is the artform of creating trees that are small in size but appear to be old and mature. this takes many years to accomplish.

dogwood is the species of tree used to create the bonsai. bonsai trees can be made of nearly any species of hardwood tree.

gone find me a dogwood...i saw these pretty red leafed trees on campus. i dunno what they are thoough. any tips for finding good uns, np?

 

red leafed? not sure. lots of trees have red leaves this time of the year.

lets see...tips...you are looking to dig up something that will 1. survive the digging and subsequent potting, 2. be small enough to fit in a 5 or 10 gallon pot, and 3. have some sort of aesthetic value.

for aesthetics

and some people use the arborday.org website for tree identification, but i don't think it's very efficient. your campus will have local/native tree identification books in the reference section.

Herptoculture (keeping and breeding of reptiles, especially of the Rhacodactylus genus) and some mild herptology. HUGE reptile geek here. Body Modification, some Graphic Design/Photography/Image Manipulation, makeup application, verbal abuse and humiliation. Hahahah. Its a weird skill to have, but I must say I am quite good.

 

Physics... no particular area over another.

 

I never did college or Uni instead I thought it would be better to work and get my own place at the time so my expertise is self taught and from life experience

when I was in Vietnam I got to see a fucking sweet bonsai display/competition in one of the parks there... probably a hundred or so. beautiful. I have photos somewhere at home.

 

post them mufuckas. vietnam bonsai is beautiful

 

omg np, i want to the aboretum last night and there are so many good specimen. i'm assuming i'm looking for saplings right? i'm thinking of doing a contorted european hazel...

 

i would also try redbud. they grow rampant in your area, don't they? not so good for displaying in the summer, but they have a beautiful winter silhouette.

from what i've read, the hazel could work. and yes, you could look for a sapling on your first dig.

however, if you are confident in your abilities in horticulture (AKA keeping plants alive long enough to survive re-potting) then you could potentially find a 1-2 year old plant (or even older) with a base circumference of 2-4 inches. this would save a lot of time and work on the finished tree.

ill send you some pics in a few months when i go back to my parent's farm and have a camera.

 

know anything about chameleons?
