@B.uneasy is running this, but the rules are pretty simple/relaxed. Several other people have started messing in the last few weeks as they bought material, and that's fine. I don't think a few weeks in a 3-year contest really matters
Be sure to start a thread in the contests section of the forum for posting updates on your trees, etc.Post some pics! And start a thread in the contests section!

I think i will have to let this one go, checked couple of GC and no signs of Christmas trees anymore, maybe later in a year i will pick something, we will see.
So for now best of luck to you all, have a great tree at the end of the year 3!

Dang, running out of year. Going shopping today. Don't have Lowes or Homie Depot here unless I make a road trip. We do have Walmart but they're the devil... I did get a gift card from there so I'll have to go there eventually. Going to try my friends nursery first. He needs a couple motorcycles fixed. LOL
Looks like well over 30 entries so far. Wow

I like that you wired down your branches but not too drastically.
I’ve been looking more and more at large trees/evergreens and I don’t often see trees with downward movement above the mid point of tree.

Pretty excited to score some free cedar from the dumpster at a job.
1x5 cedar T&G.
Cedar grow boxes a plenty!
I will now have a variety of grow box prizes to chose from -for the winners.

Whatever way the tree sways you. Theres no rules at all saying it has to look like a Christmas tree. That wasnt my intention at all, whatever you think suits your tree best. I know I wont be following any guidelines.

Wow. almost Like this video was made for me and the doomed dozen (Dwarf Albertas) I purchased inspired by this damn contest!
Absolutely love the land-line ringing off the hook!
Cheers
Ryan Neil did a living Christmas tree video too. It's actually fantastic, it's like the beginner demo on Mirai. Of course the nursery he went to had freakin ridiculous specimens. The tree he bought would be $200 around here.

Right!!? That was one of the first videos I watched last spring when I got bit!!
If I remember he referred to them as "Liberty" pines. Right? Is there another name?
As you said, in my neck of the woods that's a couple hun for that size.

Any chance I can chuck in a late entry?

Is this the one ya'll are referencing?
Without watching it I don't know. The one I saw he drives to the nursery looking for a "living Christmas tree"? It was about an hour or hour and a half long. His goal was to turn a living Christmas tree into a bonsai, exactly like this contest.

This is part 3, likely of the same series, where he talks about styling said Christmas tree. It was the only Ryan Neil video I could find that mentioned a Christmas tree, I'll have to dig for the other parts. I haven't finished it yet, but skipping ahead it's pretty impressive!
