I wasn't going to post this to Nut, recently it just seems like a waste of time.
...but then I read this...https://www.bonsainut.com/threads/bonsai-for-real.40610/#post-688751
This material is not great or even outstanding, but it did have something and that is what I was interested in and finding that tree is seemingly impossible material.
It all starts in 2003 on a trip to Tehachapi with Harry Hirao to dig Junipers in the hills. This tree would come from right about here:
I dug out the tree, and was excited because it was a twin trunk and seemed to split far down on the trunk, like all good twin trunk bonsai should. During this time I was starting to remove all the field soil and just wrap the root ball in wet sphagnum moss and shrink wrap.
I packed the tree down the hill and put it into my truck, and took some time to see what everyone else had brought down. Some really cool stuff.
Digging with Maria Kapra ( Peter Macasieb).
