Well,I am finally getting settled in the new place.Seems the best forum to locate my thread is this propagation forum since all cuttings and seedlings will go in this grow bed I made today.
I have an endless supply of Oak leaf mulch from the trees in the yard.I like it because weeds seldom sprout in it
For now,just a bunch of seedlings from International Bonsai in the back yard here.The larch leafed out early because they were at the post office for over a week without my knowing.
Also,the rain barrels work great.I get about 150 gallons of rainwater from even a 1/4” of rain
Have a bunch of Hornbeam and Beech under the house to keep from leafing too soon.I wired some contorted shapes to many of the Hornbeam.They should be out in the light in a couple weeks
They are in pots to develope a strong root system before considering any ground growing.
Hopefully my zelkova seed was good.I do not see any root tips yet in stratification.
If they do not sprout,I will have to get a 1 gallon Zelkova from Brent to make cuttings.
That is about it for my new start in bonsai.Don’t have money to purchase any developed bonsai,but plan on propagating some flowering trees like Red Hawthorne and some Crabapple and maybe do some nursery hoppin’ to make larger bonsai from nursery stock.
Thanks for looking!
