Crazy weather pattern

          Freezing for 3 or 4 days then warming up to the 70's for 2 or 3 days then
back to freezing again it's driving me crazy!!!! Hope your keeping your trees
protected & that they'll survive this crazy weather.

   Mr. Walsh the tree you selected was delivered to Mr.Joe Lucas's home &
your check arrived in the mail today, thank you.

   Casey the forrest planting your asking about is a ficus

Mr. Nguyen's forrest is a regular ficus

               The forrest you bought for your wife Mindy is a
Tiger bark ficus a different variety of ficus. I will need to
fix a bunch of forrest plantings of different of types of
trees, I'm almost sold out. They will be ready in the spring.

                   Owen Reich I'm sorry I took so long but here are
the pictures you asked for:

The winged cedar elm

American elm

Chinese elm

White honeysuckle

This all for now I'll send you some more pictures on my next post.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL

Remember Christmas isn't about the presents
it's about the presence of Christ

I'm sorry I haven't posted for the last month.I had to hurry
& get my benches down/my shade cloth down(thanks Jacob
for the help) & get my trees into the green house before that
winter blast hit!!!! Actually I was preparing for an upcoming
surgery on my foot last month.

The doctor told me to stay off the foot for three
or four weeks & I had to wear a protective boot.

So before the operation I put my tropical' s in the
green house

I put the rest of the trees down on the ground

My trident maple showing fall colors

Then ole man winter threw us for a loop

Coldest temperatures we had in Dallas in
several years day after day

But so far so good it looks like the trees came
through it alright.
It was hard being cooped up in the house
and to top it off my computer went on the fritz and
I didn't have it fixed until this Sunday night

Have a MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!

Weather change just around the corner

The weather will turn cold pretty soon are you ready?
I've already got my tropical s in the green house.
Just to catch you up the Dallas Society Auction was
a huge success. A lot of excellent trees & pots were
auctioned off!!!

This is a trident maple that I won at
the auction

                                It is made up of many seedlings that
                                are bundled together. In time they
                                will fuse together to form a single
                                trunk.

                               I will plant this in the ground to speed
   up the progression. I will post on it in
   the future

                               Much like the above tree I have
                               bundled five ficus trees together
                               so that they will fuse into one
                               trunk. I will also post on it's
   progress later.

                                 I sold this fukien tea tree but
   the customer didn't like the
   pot.

So I put it into this pot which he
did like, we aim to please!!!

                               I'm sorry I forgot Giovanni's wife's name
   but they came & also bought a tree but
   wanted a different pot , customer is
                               always right!!!

                                These are assorted pieces of driftwood
that I'm preparing to make Phoenix
                                graphs from with Shimpaku juniper

   I'll post on the graphs later that's all for now

              WAX ON ...................WAX OFF

yea rain today & yesterday summer is almost over

Summer is almost over but not yet ...we still have a few more hot days left!!!
Fall is just around the corner and trees will start displaying their fall colors.
The Texas traveling artist for this year is Cheryl Manning and she was in
Ft.Worth on the 14th of this month. She did a presentation on a green mound juniper.

She explained how you have to
fine the tree under all the foliage

Here she starts to cut away

                                    Scott helped he worked on top
                               of the tree while Cheryl worked
                                the bottom

                                 After she carved and styled the
   tree she told about the after care

           Cheryl also gave a presentation for the Dallas bonsai society
the next day but I wasn't able to attend that meeting.


            The Dallas club auction will be held Sat. Oct. 5th
9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon at North Haven Gardens.

           Don't miss this event, see you there!!!!!
