Especially to bring anything home. Not like you could take a tree on a plane

It's quite a drive....

That’s what you think…

I brought this dwarf guava from Suthin’s booth back home in my carry on.

 

[Jrmcmich]

Yeah guess smaller material would work

Sure you can. I have packed four foot tall eight inch diameter recently. Collected cedar elm in a box that went through TSA xray machines. They didn’t care. Some folk have brought “ finished” trees on seats next to them. Of convenient for travel but it can be done without a lot of hassle

My (75 yo) Dad drove from Maine to Alaska and back this summer, maybe he'll drive us - he apparently doesn't have anything better to do!

Lastly, a few items from the ABS seminars on Friday- not really vendor items but it feels like they belong here. I attended Mark Comstock's lectures on propagation & root development of young cutting-grown material. He was kind enough to let us take a few young plants. On the left are a few rooted hinoki cuttings, on the right two young Japanese black pine starts. Those have already had the roots cut once & are due for a second root-cutting.


I was really taken by how nice everyone was. Most of the vendors were happy to talk at length about what they had & help you find a good fit for your wants & budget.

I didn't expect to take any material home from Mark's seminar, that was a bonus.

Mark is extremely generous. I can’t say enough good things about the man.

I’m lucky that he is my neighbor the next town over and I’ve been able to get some great Japanese black pine starter material.
