...ONE... Only One! ...and that was on purpose! After nurturing it for two years I realized it had no potential, none. So I done it in, made a decisive decision to oust it by choice, even though it was thriving. So what's going wrong? I'm the Tree Assassin; not by choice, favour or appointment, but by over enthusiasm and incompetence. Sporadically and periodically over the part two-&-a-half decades they've suffered. Fussed, fapped & farted about with until the compost bin beckons them. And so it is, I'm over-run with green, healthy and flourishing starter material, trees and sticks-in-pots. Why? I've checked, my fingers aren't green or at least they don't look green? I blame you, yes you lot out there. With you unwavering help, advise, support and encouragement. You've ruined me. Ruined I tell you! Thanks alot. No, seriously thank you! From the bottom of my heart to the top of my compost bin. It couldn't have happened without you being there. A round of aplause from me to you (But I'm not changing my name, not yet. That'd just jinx it) |

It's been an absolute pleasure, Gary. BUT ... we advise many people on here how to do this that and the other (ooo, Matron!) in bonsai. It takes someone like you to take that advice; mull it around a bit; apply it (maybe or maybe not); mix in a good dose of your own common sense as far as your own trees go and hey presto/ipso fatso - SUCCESS. So, give yourself a little pat on the back (or get Dawn to do it for you!). You must have learned something from us all because you are no longer killing trees. You get so much more from the hobby when your trees thrive instead of dying all the time. It's really great to hear we've been of help to someone. Confucius, he say "Grey hair mean much knowledge gained from experience". Don't change your name. It is wise to remember where you've been to appreciate where you are going. Sounds like Confucius but no, it was me.

I'll probably be able to take the name off you at some point, judging how I've just trimmed one of my trees and it may die now, and the tea tree I repotted yesterday too. Maybe you could pass the username round like a trophy (or more like the wooden spoon Well done though |

@ Arihato, thank you, you are inspirational @ Gwen, who're you calling 'fatso'? . They may be thriving but I've not tried too hard to turn them into trees yet, that's the next challenge. Although maybe part of the success, little and often or one big assult at a time. Thank you for all your help & advice @ Thekickingmule, I've worked long & hard and suffered greatly to earn this name... HANDS OFF! - Seriously though, you'll learn loads hear... (Freudian slip there? Listen when you're here ). Thanks for the reply |

Well done Gary, nice post. I've killed four this year, possibly five. I put all my indoor ones out too quick, 3 Fukiens and a Plum. All cheap stuff so lessons learnt and move one. |

Thanks Mikey, that's a shame about your losses, like you say though as long as lessons are learnt. Somrthing I failed miserably at, getting there now though Dean wrote: Tree Assassin wrote: I'm over-run with green, healthy and flourishing starter material, How about a photo or two of this oasis of vigor? No up-to-date photo's at the moment Dean, the last ones were at bud break when I though some of them were done in. Most of them are just sticks in pots ( Thanks for the reply |
