Great trees everyone!

Here's a ponderosa before collection and after it's first styling with Matt Reel and Tyler Sherrod last year.

Pinus Ponderosa scopulorum

How long between collection and styling?

Hi Chicago,
Less time than you might think. The tree was collected in the spring of 2015, It grew strong that year and very strong in 2016. It was styled in late summer/fall 2016. The key to these trees is never a set amount of time, It's vigor. If the tree is healthy and vigorous it's ready to be styled. That said... I don't believe that you can really assess the vigor of a newly collected tree until it's been at least a couple of seasons after collection. They can fool you and look quite strong the first year, which sometimes they are, but it's better to play it safe. In other instances it may take several years for a collected tree to adjust and become vigorous.

Perfect response, I had thought it was a quick turn around. Congratulations and definitely need to add a back country tree to my collection. Great work.

Do you use a heat mat on roots?

Thank you for the share.

new tree. Silver Leaf Oak. It is an evergreen drought oak, similar behavior to gray oak but they grow in higher altitude than gray oaks.

My first hunting trip. A couple of elms. I'm pleased with their movement low on the trunks. We'll see how it goes!!

This thread inspired me to take a leap and set up my future Bonsai at a higher quality material.
Planning to work on this tree spring of 2019 (the plan, but tree will set the timeframe).
Collected Rocky Mountain Juniper to my collection. Collected by Randy Knight.
Purchased at Hidden Garden Bonsai.

The following tree is a Ponderosa I collected in CO. I was lucky that I was able to get the whole rootball and the tree grew like it was never been touched. Now, I am planning to bring it to the Dallas Bonsai Convention Next weekend.

Here is a pyracantha I dug from my MIL's yard in MS. I suspect it was a volunteer, based on where it was.
