The Cedars below were collected last year from an area that is local to everybody who practices bonsai. This area is literally filled with old stock that is just waiting for the right person to take advantage of the right opportunity to collect it. In fact, these are just one example to refute anyone who makes the statement that collectible stock is not available in their area, no matter if they are from the desert, the meadows, the forests, the inner city, all these environments have one thing in common, they are all filled with decent collectible stock, a lot of it far, far better than these cedars.
Anyone know what I am talking about?
Anyhow, these cedars were lifted last summer and put into these boxes and left alone. After a rough start this spring, thanks to a very cold winter and a few late frosts, they have finally taken off and back budding is starting on the trunks, some of which are in access of six inches wide at the soil line. All have great Nebari and bark, I think there is a future with these, even though they are Cedars. Nick Lenz describes how he takes stock like this and grafts Hinoki foliage to the trunks in his book, something worth considering, maybe?
