I collected a ponderosa and left it in my garage for the first week. The place never smelled better!Yeah, butterscotch, vanilla....moreso when you're among the big ones.

Not really a yamadori, but nevertheless:I dug this Japanese cutleaf maple up early this spring. It was doing well but now it’s leaves are shriveling up. I put it in a more shaded area one there were signs of this happening about a week ago. I’ve been regularly watering. Any advice?
Thank you very much. Should I keep it in the shade? And yes, not quite yamadori, my apologies.Not really a yamadori, but nevertheless:
Stop watering it 'regularly'. Roots must get air (oxygen) in addition to staying moist.
Forcibly stick your finger into the soil. Do NOT water if clumps of soil stick to your finger or if the soil feels damp.
If your tree had been in that pot long enough for its roots to have populated the pot, one could simply knock off the pot and let the bare root ball sit on a bench to dry out. However, in your case I think attempting to do so would maybe be the coup de gras, so don't. Instead put something under one side of the pot and leave it tilted this way until it is appropriate to water (at which point, loose the block and then water properly).
Now that's interesting. I have a Tea Tree seedling and was led to believe they like dry conditions so I don't water it much. Apparently, they like watery conditions... Time to change my watering schedule. Those are some killer trunks! Keep us posted on their progress please.Collecting Trees is a little different where I live, no mountains just waterlogged farming lands.
A couple of Melaleuca Trees this morning, raw as.
enjoy the Day/night.

That is quite the find! I love the twisting shari. We are going to have to go collecting together one of these days!Today's yamadori finds. (pine ponderosa) (Mountains of Colorado)
Small ponderosa #1 - Roots are over a foot long. PITA to collect and keep secure in the flat.

Large ponderosa #2 - I'm so freaking excited about this tree. When I scouted it in January I was certain it was un-collectible. Imagine my surprise. Moved a couple rocks and a lot of hours later.

Still have another 10-20 permits to go for the season. 10 of them are all the way out in Huerfano though. Collecting might be my favorite part of the hobby. Hope its not too sacrilegious to say that..... =p
I haven’t been successful collecting them, so far. Their root systems are generally poor. What conditions do you collect them from? Do you provide particular winter protection?Pinyon pines grow really strong in Dallas. It seems the main thing to be careful is let them to be too wet for a long time. It also takes some years?around 2) to build a very strong root system. The ramify pretty well. This tree was collected 2 years ago and it was styled last year.
The tree as it was collected can be found in th link below. Pinyon pine 21
