Try Sanfong Bonsai Nursery at Semenyih.

Just to share 2 photos from my album.

Hi Bro,

You are welcome anytime.

Boxwood has to be planted in pot with 50-50 fine and porous soil materials.
Flat over size pot will be good to speed up growth and trunk thickening.

Looks more like a commercial advertisement to me.

When you are forties...
You are resourceful..
You are still energetic..
You are experience...
You are your boss's assets..

Now you are sixties...
You are forgetful....
You are slow...
You are fault ful ...
You are your boss's burden ...

SO FIRE YOUR SELF TO SAY YOU ARE RETIRING
BEFORE YOU ARE FIRED !

Thanks to those who PM their concern.
I got fired last week without a single sen compensation, just 30 days notices.

Any way I'm Ok, alive and still can kick hard.

Welcome Hosoonhee.

I'll say, defoliate all the leaves, let it botak and post a clear photo. I'll try to give some suggestions.

It depends on species.
for coniferous species like juniper or casuarina, needle leaves should be hand plucked.
for deciduous species cutting by scissor shouldn't be problem.

A suggestion, do an extensive cut and trim to the tree.
Get your own feeling about it but always keep to the rule that the tree must have an apex.

The cut branches have slim chance of growing.
But when the leaves grow back, flowers will follow, good chance to get seeds.

You can do that, but the trunk size must be sufficiently thick say half an in.
It depends on how well you do the air layering, it usually takes 3 to 4 months to develop a healthy root ball.
You can check back and refer to my post on Jan 1 2013 post no. 81 and March 19 2013 post no. 273.

Welcome

started any thing yet?

Hi bro,

You will have to leave a gap at the top of the plastic for watering purposes.

Working on Boxwood again.

3 years old grown from branch cutting.




And this one repotted a month ago.

Shui mei re post for sharing.

Marble ball. Just put there.

Hi bro,

My suggestion. if you accept, cut and post a photo for further action.

Hi Bro,

Yr shui mei looks great and has a good potential to become a formal upright doom style bonsai.
Unfortunately I can't do much on a 2 D photo to show you exactly what to do.
I suggest you cut the lower big branch, cut it approx one inch away from the main trunk, when new branch grows out, then bend it with wire horizontally somehow like the green color line.
Then trim the branches more in an umbrella shape. use your own discretion or feeling to thin out the branches EVENLY along the main trunk, then post another photo of it if you want to.
Remember, DON"T do any thing to roots at this stage.



The image your shui mei is looking for is somehow like below.
