Wow...That rhodie definitely has some junk in the trunk. Nice!

It will be perfect for those who are doing "urban yamadori" who haven't posted their trees yet. For me, it is not convenient or practical having posted several already (and multiple on some threads too). Sorry I just don't want to waste my time going through the notion where the end result is the same anyway.
Nice trees by the way.
And----some of us don't want to chase down all of the links to all of your trees posted all over this site. I guess if you have the time to post the links you should have the time to post the pictures. I can go to the bottom of this thread window and click on manage attachments that will open the upload manager. Within this feature I can find the image, good bad or otherwise and post it with little problem.
This took three minutes.

This only took a couple of minutes to do. Unless your system works differently, or not at all, there is no reason you cannot do similar downloads. I hate to put this out there but when it comes to bonsai and you avoid things, it is really just lazy; laziness and bonsai are not good companions.

What makes it urban? Or yamadori? Im not sure if I grow urban yamadori or not. What the heck does it mean?

Yamadori literally means collected from the mountains but in our culture we have perverted the term to make it refer to any tree collected anywhere from yards, fields, and farms. In short almost anything you have to dig from the ground that you did not plant there is considered Yamadori. If it is dug from the projects during the middle of night while armed and dangerous it is an urban Yamadori.

I'm not sure if Dario post pics the same way as I do or not....? I post url links to pics posted on my blog....I only have one attachment and that was from an upload during a dig with my cell phone. So it may not be as easy as just going to your attachments for him....? I will say I enjoy his post on the collected material and he has taken the time to answer questions for me when others here have not.

Thanks Brian,
With more than 5,000 posts (which lazy guy would do that?) and several hundreds of photos...it is not easy to find pics. I also have mix of uploaded pics here and photobucket. Most are hosted there now. More importantly (which I also explained my reasoning) is why I chose to do it that way.
People ask for $100 and if you give them $20, you are the bad guy. Talk about entitlement.
Sadly, seems like the trend these days.

I LOVE yews! Older hedge grown material is definitely underutilized. Unfortunately, yews with big trunks are almost impossible to find in the Southeast (I'm pretty sure I have the only two
).

This is a cutting I planted long time ago on the farm and forgot about.
I dont know the name of it.
This is a bougainvillea Pixie which I dug out from my garden:
I cut off the bigger roots and left only the small feeder roots removed half of the soil and planted it in coarse sand

This is how it looked like 5 month ago
And this is how it looks now:
I chopped off the large branch that was coming off the base and planted it too:
And this is 5 month ago:
I have just too many urban yamadori.... I dug out my whole garden.
But I dont want to bore you with all of them.

Unbelievable trees. The hawthorn is the most accurately styled deciduous tree I've ever seen in person, the trunk on that pyracantha is awesome, and the beautiful azalea in flower is stunning. I would be hard pressed to pick a favorite from that group. Wonderful urban yamadori!
