Why is this man smiling? Is it something he did?
Who is he and what did he do?
He’s Michael Hagedorn (we just featured him the other day) and he just did some very fierce hacking on a Zelkova.
If you count carefully, you’ll see that there are 1,376 leaves on this tree. If you subtract the 31 remaining leaves (top photo) you’ll see that he cut off almost 98% of the leaves. That’s pretty radical. BTW: don’t try this on your pines. Not that you’d want a broom style pine anyway.
Ive been looking for bonsi bowls to no availl. where can I find them. does Lantern sell them? What about Lilac trees. can the be transplanted? When is the best time?
We don’t sell bonsai pots, though I’ve got a very large collection of my own that I may sell down at some point, but not yet. Just google bonsai pots and you’ll find some.
You can transplant lilacs after they are done blooming. Just prune back fairly heavily when you do it, so the roots (roots are always stressed some when you transplant) don’t have too much foliage to support for a little while.
