Little Big Trees Bonsai Plantation: Notes and Thoughts on Raising Dawn Redwoods (Metasequoia glyptostroboides) as Bonsai
http://littlebigtrees.blogspot.com/2009/03/notes-and-thoughts-on-raising-dawn.html
Tuesday, March 31, 2009. Notes and Thoughts on Raising Dawn Redwoods (Metasequoia glyptostroboides) as Bonsai. Rather than going into an extended history of the tree (which I may do at a later date), I thought I’d relate a few of the things that I’ve learned over the years about growing and styling these marvelous trees as bonsai. No particular reason, I just get the feeling that my trees react favorably to it. You need to monitor them daily in the heat of the summer. A neat trick that I’ve learned...

Little Big Trees Bonsai Plantation: Chlorophyll's Retreat
http://littlebigtrees.blogspot.com/2008/12/chlorophylls-retreat.html
Tuesday, December 23, 2008. And then on a perfect night in the spring, when it can wait no more, the tree relaxes. Stripping the blankets off the shoulders of its buds, it unfurls leaves like tiny flags and makes its charge – running screaming to the sun as naked as the day it was born. Welcome to the Bonsai Plantation. The basic goal of this site is share insights into how plants grow and to get to the bottom of the one question that has always plagued the author: how do plants make decisions?

Little Big Trees Bonsai Plantation: A Green (And Red) Thumb For Christmas
http://littlebigtrees.blogspot.com/2008/12/green-and-red-thumb-for-christmas.html
Tuesday, December 23, 2008. A Green (And Red) Thumb For Christmas. What then, exactly, is a green thumb? Why is it that some people on this planet are able to endlessly surround themselves with lush, thriving plants that seem to grow themselves, while others couldn’t keep a cactus alive if their own life depended on it? Those who can’t, attribute this strange power to something mysteriously referred to as a “green thumb”. But those who can, know better. Plants are marvelous evolutionary inventions. T...

Little Big Trees Bonsai Plantation: The Bonsai Paradox: How Do We Keep Trees Small?
http://littlebigtrees.blogspot.com/2008/12/bonsai-paradox-how-do-we-keep-trees.html
Tuesday, December 23, 2008. The Bonsai Paradox: How Do We Keep Trees Small? One of the most frequent questions that we receive from people unfamiliar with bonsai (after the question: “how do you keep them alive? 8221;) is “how do you keep them so small? So, back to the original question: “How do you keep bonsai small? Let’s keep the illusion and the paradox intact. Welcome to the Bonsai Plantation. The Charlotte Whale (UVM).

Little Big Trees Bonsai Plantation: A Dormant Cutting Looks Down Upon Its Severed Limbs
http://littlebigtrees.blogspot.com/2009/01/dormant-cutting-looks-down-upon-its.html
Sunday, January 4, 2009. A Dormant Cutting Looks Down Upon Its Severed Limbs. All of the trees that I raise from cuttings have survived that moment and have made that decision. They don’t live through some miracle of genetics or accident of biology. They have each made the decision to live. They WANT to live. They live. I believe that this imbues them with a special character that seeded plants may lack. Welcome to the Bonsai Plantation. The Charlotte Whale (UVM). View my complete profile.

Little Big Trees Bonsai Plantation: A Dormant Tree Wakes In The Middle Of The Winter
http://littlebigtrees.blogspot.com/2008/12/dormant-tree-wakes-in-middle-of-winter.html
Tuesday, December 23, 2008. A Dormant Tree Wakes In The Middle Of The Winter. Dormant plants in the winter can’t be much different. They too are occasionally awakened from deep slumber by a January thaw, or a string of sun-on-your-face warm days that remind all living things that Spring is just around the corner, somewhere. The plant too is disoriented and surprised. Is it time to get up? Is it time to wake up the buds and start pumping sap up from the roots? Welcome to the Bonsai Plantation. Jeff Howe i...
