Good Evening ladies and gentlemen,

I've been growing random plants since I moved home into shared houses and then eventually my own place. I've never really moved into bonsai properly until about 3 years ago. I started getting a few trees, one of which was a Zelkova (which died :oops: ) but took cuttings and I then started foraging tree's from woods before buying a red acer. Since then I have got a couple more maples and that brings me to the last few months.

I have now started properly taking cuttings, shaping trees and really getting into the hobby. I have a blog about my learning curve which is partly so I know when my trees where created so I can age them and also so anyone can help me along the way :-)

I know that is a lot of me me me but I guess introducing myself is about that. I'll pop a few photographs below of some of my nicer trees and also I have a tree that I can't work out the specie for which would be lovely if someone could help me with!

Hi & Welcome

With 24 tree do you attend a club? You would gain a lot of information from one

Hi and welcome.

Your Zelkova are Ulmus and your unidentified cuttings are Sageretia.

Hi Gnomie, and welcome to the forum. We are generally a friendly bunch, but don't shy away from criticism if we think it is merited.
Looks like you have a good selection to start with. There is a lot of information on the web these days, including many good videos on YouTube. (And some bad ones).

P.S. Is your BBQ safe, only it looks a little suspect........?

Thanks for the welcome guys :)

Thanks Paul, they're Zelkova Ulmus or just Ulmus? Thanks on the Sageretia, it's been bugging me since the friend got the original tree. She threw away the label when she bought it!

I'm going to change the 24 as to be honest I only count maybe 6 as Bonsai and the rest as infants. I'm not yet in a club but soon I'll look at hopefully there is one close to Lincoln. I know there is a nursery or two near by for when I'm ready or my seeds fail to germinate!

The BBQ is fairly safe, It's only been temporary for two years now! :D
