I left these two trees with someone in SC before I moved out West.

Other than these two all of my Bonsai are Procumbens Nana. I am just growing them at the moment so they are nothing special yet. Just a bunch of guys like this.

For now I have been attempting to harvest a nice Pinon project using Christmas tree tags.
None of them have been successful and I am nervous to try again. I lost two very beautiful looking trees and I just don't want to do another until I am 99.9% sure I am doing this right.
I did call an old friend from SC who got me started in Bonsai and he suggested I unearth it and pack the roots in a large bag of Spagnum and use Superthrive on it.
I might try this route...
Well, they are cheap, easy, and kind of forgiving.
I have about three different projects other than the Pinon I will be working on here soon.
I know one will be a ficus and then I am thinking of a Cyprus or a cedar and either a maple or another Chinese Elm.
I just found out that Elm I showed above died a while back...

Doing this is a painful experience. I know because years ago when we moved to Florida I gave 20 years worth of Bonsai material away knowing that I couldn't provide adequate climate for them down there.
Then when we moved back I had to do the same thing again for the same reasons.
Very nice trees btw.

I have killed plenty so far. The first one was hard though and the guy who was showing me how to do this could see how upset I was.
He then told me some stories of the great trees that had passed under his watch. It was just a reality one must learn when doing this.
Trees can get any number of diseases at any point for reasons beyond your control.
That is how it rolls with this...
