This worked so well lately! I didnt want to stop itâŚ
My Robinia Pseudoacacia is the only one i know as a Bonsai.
I thougt there would be some in the States,cause it is a native species over there.
I wonder a litle about that,because to my experience it is one of the best trees for Bonsai.
It is super vigorous,you can prune it 7-10 times a year if you fertilice heavy and give it a lot of water.
The folwers smell outstanding good.
It makes great natural deadwoodâŚ
The Bonsai below me is a dynamic rockplanting

Robinia is on my local native tree wish-list, along with black cottonwood and peach-leaf willow. I just need to figure out where I can take them fromâŚ
Hmm, if instead of going into the mountains to collect wild trees, I go down along the river, that would make them kawadori instead of yamadori, I think.
Iâm still waiting for someone in this thread to call for a tree I actually have.

No one ever asks for âstill in a nursery pot or plastic pot from Amazonâ, âalmost killed by overwateringâ, âspent time in a completely inappropiate soil mix that almost killed itâ, âhas a completely incoherent designâ, âwaiting for next spring for pruning/styling/repottingâ, âcaused the owner to break out in hives while handling itâ, or ânot really a bonsai yetâ.
I think that pretty much covers all my trees.
I really do enjoy this thread and seeing all these great trees.

Interesting, I have also wanted to find a yamadori as they are pencil thin when you finally spot them around 70-100cm tall.
Everyone here in Czech republic complains about how bad they are as subjects and I always ask myself, what are they doing wrong? Everyone claims that they just randomly throw off branches which makes me wonder if they followed the same, âslowâ approach like we learned from Dennis Vojtilla when working the Birch, willow, grape vines âfast growingâ species, that this species would work better.
Iâm also glad this thread is still alive and well.
