Thought this would be a fun topic

I have at least 10 species ranging from black pine to fig to pomegranate

“I’m a pine guy”

“I’m deciduous”

sounds boring to me

What’s going on in your Bonsai collection?

That is awesome. I will tray to get around to this soon, but it will take more than my fingers and toes. I am not sure if the op was referring to bonsai, pre bonsai, sticks in pots or what. As an example, I have about 25 trident maples but they are all growing out. I don't have a Trident bonsai. About a hundred ginkgo seedlings and one bonsai in training. etc

I have dozen kinds of figs, and maybe ~75 species of hardy trees. I'm a sucker for something different. "White elephants! You got white elephants? How many do ya got?

When people ask me how many I have, I tell them, "If you can count them, you don't have enough. I have enough."

Around 50 different types.
Cutting down to around 60 plants.
Getting rid of the Chinese ones, only locals.
Good Day

Oh Great One! Please show us some your oddballs. A person of your esoteric tastes and skills must have some species that are close to unique, and some of us are very interested in such.
