Nice trees! I've been wanting to take out most of the lawn that came with my house, and this is the kind of thing I'd like to replace it with!

Thanks for the info about posting.

Where you live, you could xeriscape with a little drip system even during the drought, I imagine. It seems to me that planting material in neat rows - rather than making them look like part of a landscaping project - would just inspire people to dig up and steal your trees in the middle of the night, whereas xeriscaping them in an informal way may camouflage them. Just a thought.

That would be wild. Probably make you the first person ever to actually get the kit and it worked! Would put you right up there rubbing shoulders with the likes of Walter Pall as a pioneer in bonsai! Just imagine it. Japanese Maple number 1 in competition with Jack for one of the most recognizable bonsai in the world!

People plant these in their yard on purpose? For what? These are the ugliest pine trees we have here! And there are mlions.
But seriously.
1. How does it take rootwork?
2.What time of the year did you do rootwork if ever?
3. Can it be forced to backbud?
4. Will the needles reduce in size.

Love the elm!
How long have you had the Jack pine? Or I should ask will you be starting a thread for it? I have questions.
