We got this X-mas tradition....that kind of goes on till Easter....
You know...the family that didn't make it..stuff keeps trickling in...til one day in May or so...that last gift comes out of the blue, from so and so in la la land!
So no, I'm not late! It's a tradition!
And then there's that Bonsai Tradition....
The buy a Xmas tree and kill it ordeal!
For $5.....there's no way in Hell I'm not gonna buy the best one I can find.
Yes....this is what it is...
But here is why I picked this one.
It doesn't have a lot of long growth, the type where one offending branch taken off will kill the plant.
Rather, it has a fairly good amount of even growth....not too many whorish whorls, I think because of how it divided rather early(below the soil) and into 3 decent trunks.
So I drew a sketch for the Sorceress...and
@Anthony ....before and after.
I want to get it down to under about a foot eventually...cut down to the bare parts on the tops of the big ones....and taking the small one down to match....or ditching it...
Right now they move the sameish and I don't like it....kind of counting on some spring back to make these a little more natural...
I killed 2 last year. And a few Junipers.
All the big box plants I bought this year are way healthier. So I think this one may live!
Backside.
Oh... Yes that's a rock wedging them apart.
Pretty sure they're connected at the base...
I'm leaving that for later....like a box of chocolates. Or a grab bag. I hope it don't suck...but then again.....
It was $5!
And....I put this here cuz I figured I might get more advice and ideas if it's under someone else's thread! Especially LOG's!
Thanks....Merry Christmas!

I think we will have apple pie for desert though we also have a ton of cookies from a party last weekend...
