I've signed up for a bring-your-own-tree workshop with Michael Feduccia, in about a month. I'm having a hard time choosing a tree to bring. It will be the middle of winter, which obviously is different from "winter" in most of your locales. Here though, it significantly limits the severity of work that I can do on most tropical species.
Bad news: I've just realized that pretty much everything I'm willing to take into public should not be worked on much next month.
Good news: I was fortunate enough to receive a decent Christmas Bonus. So, I'm willing & able to buy some decent material.
So, I figure I have a few options.
1 - order something ready for winter work & which can be delivered in about 3-4 weeks. (elms, hackberry, sweetgum, cypress, oak, etc..?)
2 - choose something from my yard that can be abused & then maintained at a reasonable temperature for the following couple of months. ( I have a crepe myrtle group planting that might work.)
3 - Arrive early at the show and find something in the vendors' area.
4 - See if a nursery (sort of) nearby can help - durastone, dragon tree, etc.
What would you recommend? Any ideas I haven't thought of above?
