SK,
(TreeKiller64,
Did you collect the red cedar? There are tons here in Missouri and they grow like crazy here. )
Yes I did, its not the best, the species has it's down sides, but like you there are tons of them around.
The tree, (and the others) were collected where I work. (I Love Native Species), (Zone5a USDA) This one was approx. 10' tall when collected. (about 10 yrs ago).
I'm still refining the juniper and will for some time. I was about to bring out some of my other trees today, (weather providing) and will put my all-time favorites "3" soon. Some of which will I know coincide with another thread on this site (When is a bonsai "junk"?) and prob cause a stir within this site on my feelings about Bonsai and what I've learned.
But yes, I did collect this one (as the others, one way or the other).
Thanks for your questions, if you have anymore, ASK.
And for all, you can call me Kevin J
Sincerely,
KJ
