Did you get a permit or other permission from the appropriate park authority to collect this tree? It harms public perception of the hobby when people collect trees without going through the proper channels and can make it harder for others to collect in the future because the officials in charge of managing these natural resources may get a negative impression of bonsai people as lacking respect for their conservation authority. Later on, when someone comes along, follows protocol, and asks nicely they get told, “No, we don’t allow that,” because the park ranger remembers the time when someone took a tree in the middle of the night and left a big open hole in the ground that the city had to send a crew out to fill in, etc. Basically, don’t be that guy. There can also be legal issues if you’re caught collecting without permission.
I think it's a food service tote , the bottom is gridded with square holes
I get wife's junk tote, drill whatever holes I want. We want wide and shallow right. I don't cut them down all the time. Keeps the rabbits and whatnot away from my stuff
It’s looking healthy . Congrats will make a great bonsai
Considering there cold hardiness . And there habit of being very tough . They may have fairly rot resistant wood . I have no resource to prove this just a thought . I’m starting to find them interesting . So far my attempt to grow them from seed is failing . Which has made me wonder . There planted heavily in downtown Ottawa in large planters outside office buildings and in parks around town they seed heavily but you don’t see any seedlings
My first attempt is with seed cold strat on the trees and licked late winter
l talking Amur for the seeds like I said my first attempt was last years seeds collected late this winter on a tree . I have not tried fresh seed . My observation about the lack of seedlings was in parks gardens etc . What’s your seed prep most info states warm and cold strat Please share your success planI noticed the city planted ones, the seeds don't like to germinate in the concrete jungles, parking lots, sidewalks. I germinated loads again this year from the same tree
