Fertilizer salts (have hawthorn bonsai holly maple)
For growers of azaleas as well as other plants -- maple,
cotoneaster, hawthorn, holly, Kalima, Nandina, Pyracantha, Viburnum, etc. -- here (http://www.ncagr.com/agronomi/media.htm) is an excellent and useful article on Management of Soluble Salts in Container-Grown Plants. While it is aimed at the nursery trade, bonsai ARE "container-grown plants." I've been having a major chlorosis problem this spring and have been looking for solutions -- adding all the chelated trace elements has NOT helped -- and have been looking for solutions.

Boxwood project (have oak live)
Hi all,
Yesterday I posted a question regarding the live oak style. Now I see that the boxwood I am planning to work with does not fit this style. I have posted some pictures in the potensai gallery. http://internetbonsaiclub.org/galleries/viewtopic.php?t=906 Any suggestions/comments are always welcome. Kind regards.

Boxwood project (informal)
Really nice trunk. It would be good for what Walter Pall calls the "informal
broom" style. Perhaps if Walter's still reading the list he could remind us what is involved in that.

Boxwood project (have tree maple elm)
Looks like a boxwood to me. Probably Chineese? Nice
material. May I suggest you have a get aquainted period with ths plant before you do anything major? Most good material is done in because the new owner adds styling/repotting stress to a tree that has recieved unknown stress befor the aquisition. This type of boxwood grows quicker than the Kingsville, but is slow compared to say an elm or maple. It can sprout out from the trunk. I would develop some longer branches to give the tree a wider spread.

Fertilizer salts (have bonsai)
Jim,
An interesting article, but I would think that bonsai in normal free-draining bonsai soil that are being watered thoroughly would not have a soluble salt problem. In fact the text of the article pretty much says as much. I have experienced some chlorosis on one or two of my trees, although usually not until later in the summer, from time to time. Other than continuing routine fertilization I have never tried to do anything about it, although I probably should. I would be interested to hear if you eventually can correct your situation.

Chlorosis - was Fertilizer salts (have oak)
Late summer chlorosis has usually indicated a treatable mineral
deficiency in my trees. My English oak often becomes chlorotic in August/September and is rapidly greened up with a small dose of Epsom salts (teaspoon to the gallon). In other cases I have successfully used trace element "frit" at the next repot or watered with fertiliser containing the full spectrum of plant nutrients.

Chlorosis - was Fertilizer salts (fertilizer)
Thanks Kevin, this summer if I notice the chlorosis again I'll try a shot of
Epson salts. I use Peters 20-20-20 fertilizer, which is supposed to supply micro nutrients, but maybe some of the trees aren't getting all they need.
