Author Message   Samhurst  Posted on Tuesday, October 03, 2006 - 04:02 pm:    I have recently got a chinese elm. All new growth is vast and healthy. On the compost surface there is a white speckling all over. it isnt noticable from a distance yet if you look close you can see tim=ny white speckles. I have looked at diseases but i cant find anything. Is it a problem? what should i do?

If you're using tapwater it could be the calcium in the water that is causing this. You can brush it off and a couple of waterings with cold tea usually clears it - Kath Kath Zone 8b UK   Samhurst  Posted on Wednesday, October 04, 2006 - 04:42 am:    Hi, I have been watering the tree with rain water. i keep a tank of it in the back garden, i found out it is softer than normal tap water. Is it possible its a disease they the speckles seem to be linking like a net in some small areas.

Are you sure it's not water/dew droplets laying on a web from a minute spider! One more question is your soil free of moss? Kath Kath Zone 8b UK   Samhurst  Posted on Wednesday, October 04, 2006 - 05:05 pm:    Just off the point a bit somebody has a small hawthorne thats about the right size for training. Hes asked me if i want to take it and have ago. Is it worth it? I assume they are outdoor bonsai.

Does anybody know were to buy bonsai figurines/netsuke i have looked a couple of sites I.e. Kaizenbonsai, WSbonsai and spiritofbonsai but there selection is limited and ebay is useless.

Under 60k you can use the 'paperclip' above, or you can re-size them using the far left 'icon' above. Yes Hawthorn's are well worth training and 'yes' they have to be left out doors all the time. Re bonsai fgurines/netsuke, I would send an email to Kaizenbonsai, they might know, have always found them to be very helpful - Kath Kath Zone 8b UK   Samhurst  Posted on Thursday, October 05, 2006 - 06:32 am:    Thanks, ill contact Kaizen bonsai. The Hawthorne is 6" tall and has small shoots above halfway (4 pair to the crown). As i am new to this i would like to use this to try wiring/shaping techniques. I take that this time of the year it should be left outside to go dormant and shaping/wiring should begin in spring. The leaves are quite large (i feel) are they made small through root puning and genral pruning over time Sam Samhurst - WN4 8QY, Zone "Chinese Elm"   Samhurst  Posted on Thursday, October 05, 2006 - 03:14 pm:    Hi, This is my bonsai hope ive attached it Ok, the resizing wont work.
