I'd like to join!
I'm just considering it motivation to learn about and work a tree I haven't before. I like that they aren't called a competition but a challenge. It's not necessarily about beating anyone just challenging yourself to make progress while not getting over aggressive and killing your tree.Can a newbie get a participation medal? I got a couple of sticks in pots from when I was just buying random local trees. So far I have a pinus merkusii, a couple of ficus benjamina veriegata (native to me), a couple of agathis damara, and a couple of eucalyptus deglupta. Currently they're all just growing trunks except the merkusii that I bought for t̶o̶r̶t̶u̶r̶e̶ wiring practice.

In my experience with two attempts, ninebark is very vulnerable to powdery mildew and root fungal infections. There is also a species-specific ninebark borer that can kill a tree in three days.I’m strongly considering ninebark, as well.
Thank you! I will “arm” myself with this knowledge.. but I AM American.. so there will also be bullets.In my experience with two attempts, ninebark is very vulnerable to powdery mildew and root fungal infections. There is also a species-specific ninebark borer that can kill a tree in three days.
