You shouldn't be giving advices about junipers, when you only kept junipers for one season. That's too risky.

SOmehow the quarter just doesn't drop with the person. Either it is a troll, pushing to get people frustrated, or really really dense. In any case. Better stop responding or else you will also get a dose of name-calling. I am a gorilla. Maybe you are a monkey?

Please lb, I respect you and your work so much. I would never call you a gorilla. I said that your forum ethics is on gorilla level. Not really sophisticated. Everything seems to end in personal conflicts, just to keep the throne. You dont really need to act like that. I know you are a man that spend more time on hundred trees that I spend on my family. And I am a man that considere my family to be top priority, working for salvary less than average to be with Them. I highly respect your work and you are a true inspiration to me.

You are on the throne and I will never compete about it.

You are kidding me right? I can't believe you kept junipers for 13 years with all the useless advices you are giving. You must have some amazing juniper bonsai then. Would love to see your bonsai garden. Especially when I remember you writing in another thread, that you only made bonsai for one year.

And then you started with Nana for one year ago. Makes sence, or not. I simply don't trust you. Especially because I remember you writing earlier in another thread, that you only had made bonsai for one year. But if I know you right, you also got a explanation for that...


I am not lying to you and I dont really know your experience and knowledge. Lb has deserved my respect. But to me you are still unknown person that just criticise me in every post. I would highly appreciate if you chip in in any discussion with post related to the content. If I make a false statement in your opinion I am happy to read your comment on the topic.

Please show me a thread where i have stated that I am one year into bonsai. That is false, I am three years into bonsai. My experience is mainly on trees in General. Developing seedlings, cuttings, Air layering, development of niwaki and doing grafts for my garden. When the garden got full of trees I got curious about bonsai. In a lot of posts in this forum beginners is advised to study more horticulture. I Believe i am way beyond that stage, but is still learning.

What is it you don't understand? You are making false statement all the time. That's the hole problem with you. Me and others have told you now so many times. LB are constanly correcting your false statements, that I stopped counting.

I am three years into bonsai.

You are still a beginner in bonsai. And beginners should not post advices for EVERY question being made in here. Especially when you get corrected all the time, for making false advices. As some one else said: you are a danger for peoples trees. I think you should stop making all these useless advices, to every post and start study and make bonsai instead. Because it seems you alot of time available, with all the time you spend in here.

3 years I guess? In bonsai terms, that's pretty short. Yet, you're giving advise like you think you're a pro.
Yet:

- You don't know that sequoias need stratification
- Actually, you don't know what stratification is (but come with the excuse that stratification in your region is something different... right).
- You do not know that junipers are ALWAYS considered to be outdoor trees
- You do not recognize a very common and popular species - juniperus procumbens nana
- You write that all deciduous trees drop their leaves in winter -

In this topic, you made lots of mistakes, and that typically is one of them that show why your advise is risky.

www.google.nl/search?client=opera&q=ilex...ra&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8

You did not know if it was a tropical tree or not, yet you gave advise, which of course is useless if you don't know the species.
You wrote that deciduous trees loose their leaves, so there was nothing to worry about. You thought the plant was a privet.

It was an Ilex Crenate, that needs to be outside, and that does NOT loose its leaves.

Apart from that, your answers often are copies from what you've read from others on this forum - but quite often not in the right context.

You busted in on this forum telling everyone how we need to write our answers, but you fail to see you're really not adding anything to this forum yourself, apart from a lot of noise.
