how odd the links work for me.

will take pictures of the Fukien Tee Tree and post them this evening after work.

I am glad it's still alive

I got given some acer seeds last year and although I knew that it was very very hard to raise Acer's from seed I thought what the hell lets do it anyway. well here are some pictures of my seedlings today I am guessing they are red acer's but if I am wrong please correct me [url]https://www.buffyuk.o...

mamfle

Thanks Ynot your instructions have been a great help.

I have managed to get a good few quality pictures

mamfle

the roots showing are a style of bonsai, some people don't show the roots but others do. I don't think it is anything to worry about

mamfle

I am no expert, in fact I am more of a novice then you but I do have some spare time on my hands to go snooping. Did you get your Bonsai from B&Q also? my mother gave me one that came from there, and the soil that it has is wrong for the tree. I think that your mold problem could be from the submers...

mamfle

Wow. They are truly amazing and inspirational. I have ideaÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s bouncing all over the place for the red Acer seeds that arrived today. I am thinking of a landscape but hey they are only seeds at the moment I have years before they can become anything real

mamfle

I will read up on them thisafternoon and let you know.

Your are right, I am eger to get my hands dirty so to speak but I will not risk the helth of an already sick tree. whatever desion I come to it will be what is best for the Fukien

mamfle

ok I don't know how but I managed to get a picture of the root system
[url]https://www.buffyuk.org/forum/index.php?act=Attach&type=post&id=972[/url]

as you can see, it's not competly root bound but not far from it. either that or my opinion of root bound is way off

mamfle

I think shortening the tree will be a good idea, I was looking at the picture from febuary and I found it rather haunting (sorry) I have been reading a few books and one of them has this section about deadwood, I don't know if it would work with your tree or not but some of the examples that are sho...

mamfle

Right well I have checked the roots and they are not completly rootbound but they are not far from it either. I will et it re-potted at the weekend, I am missing a few surplies (most of everything to be exact lol) I will revise prunning and the care sheet in the time being ani will get more pictures...

mamfle

if because it's an indoor tree it has no seasonal requirements, is it possible to change to soil sooner rather then later? before I start any pruning of any sort I will have a good look at different informal bonsai's and start a plan of action. thanks for all your help so far and thank you in advanc...

mamfle

I did

I went with the broom option because of the basic shape the tree already has also I am a bit worried about jumping into wiring, I have been reading a few books and they said that now or in spring is the best time to do that.
I guess I am just worried about breaking a branch

mamfle

It just so happens that I do have a picture of the soil (and with the issues I have been having with the camera latly that is saying something) [url]https://www.buffyuk.org/forum/index.php?act=Attach&type=post&id=971[/url] I have ordered some more soil for it, one type is a mix of Akadama, Kyodama a...

mamfle

Well in all honesty I was looking at the gerneral condition of the tree, the sides that where marked best and good where in my opinion the healthy sides of the tree, the other side with the new growth I have been classing as the recovering side. as to which side is the front / back I have no idea. t...

mamfle

I am a bit stuck for idea's.. to be honest I would say that it's trying to be a broom style.. any idea's? oh and here are some better pictures Top View [url]https://www.buffyuk.org/forum/index.php?act=Attach&type=post&id=967[/url] Bad Side [url]https://www.buffyuk.org/forum/index.php?act=Attach&type...

Thank you so much for your help and the advice links you have given me are great. I will enjoy reading how to care for this little beauty and hopefully it will out live me

mamfle

Sorry about the lack of information, it just proves how much of a novice I am :s The bonsai is indoors and it's hight from the base of the tree is 20 centimeters. The leaves are oval and have a rough texture to them. The buds are about 1/2 cm long and I would describe them as five little fingers lig...

mamfle

Help me.. I have been trying to ID this Bonsai all weekend but I am still not sure of what it could be, my guess is crab apple. It was a gift from my mother. she said she found it in ill health in a garden centre and knew that I could help it, all the tag said was that it was a bonsai variety and th...
