Separate names with a comma.
No air, no oxygen = anoxia; ultimately, root death. ... not meaning to be pedantic.
I'm unsure of the cause, but those look to be old wounds, IMHO, and not requiring pruning
Verticillium typically does this in the springtime, not fall and usually only gains entry to a branch through a bark wound. We discussed this at...
I must say that I've repeatedly encountered this term 'sap rising' that you, D, and others use. I still don't understand what y'all are trying to...
Of course, you know, D, that pruned stems can develop stem pressure AFTER they have been pruned! I often prune my Japanese maple bonsai so early...
By 'sap is rising' you mean the stem will 'bleed' some sugary water if it is cut?
Acer griseum [ATTACH]
And one more; flowers on an a. shirasawanum that I've raised from seed (a 'Child of Full Moon'). [ATTACH]
Acer japonicum 'Green Cascade' [ATTACH] already has wings! They were like this [ATTACH] a week ago. Acer circinatum today [ATTACH]
Clap, clap, clap, ... (I'm standing too)

I'm with y'all that Japanese maples make my day (my favorite variety is the one that happens to be in front of me), but this is when platanoides...
Another white can special from today: A 6 year old big leaf maple (acer macrophyllum) bonsai [ATTACH] of a volunteer found in the landscape around...
Keeping with my Guinness white can theme, Amur maple in new leaves [ATTACH] Orange Dream in this year's new foliage that is turning to its...
I just like these three vine maples (I suspect to actually be a. circinatum x japonicum) of mine. Not much for bonsai (a nicer pot would help),...
However, it is a bad idea to leave circling roots as is. IMHO, at least loosen all roots on the surface of the root 'ball' or make a few vertical...
Tsukushigata is chocolaty-brown, but I've no way to judge if it is darker. On the other hand, it has the most interesting (erotic?) green veins,...
I get prepared NEEM oil (just out a tablespoon in a quart of water and spray) at my local hardware store. It does the job for most every insect...
Yes, indeed one can. But, note that buying laboratory-grade ethyl alcohol is cheaper because it isn't taxed as liquor.
Or just buy a prepared powder from J.L.Huntsman. Gibberellic Acid
