I took some cuttings of my trident maple about four weeks ago. How long does it take for them to grow roots?

Hey everyone! I'm relatively new to bonsai and looking to expand my collection. I've been focusing on traditional species like junipers and maples, but I'm curious about trying something a bit more unconventional. Can anyone recommend uniqu...

The wind and a grape vine were pulling this young Elm tree cutting sideways. It was leaning pretty bad so I made a quick brace with some airline tubing and wire. So far so good, fingers crossed🤞!!!
