I was wondering about Bonsai from nature,specifically Mormon Tea and other Ephedra species.
The Ephedra Sinica i have growing for many years have no trunk whatsoever and yet i see Viridis,possibly Nevadensis,have a thickened woody stem on the range.
I wonder how long it takes them to grow a bole as my attempt at two species other than Sinica met with failure due to inclement weather,even overwintered in the greenhouse.
Ethnobotanical species,they have more to offer to the Bonsai enthusiast than looks alone.
