Hi Everyone. My first post on a great forum! Here's my situation.
My parents are selling rural property in Colorado. There is some excellent material I've been planning on digging for some time, but now there is a contract on the place set to go through the first of February. My folks said I can dig whatever I want to keep for my collection but after this month I won't be able to dig anything as the property will have new owners. My folks are not going to add a clause to the contract allowing me back in spring to collect so I feel my only option is now. The trees are mostly pinon pine and juniper, all around 7000+ ft.
What do you all think about this? If i do collect them, should I transplant to training pot? Regular bonsai soil or more of a peat/potting mix? When should I prune unwanted branches???
Any advice is welcome and appreciated. I will post some pics the next time I get out to their property.
