Hey all,
I was on my annual Paragliding competition trip a few weeks ago, and the owner of the mountain and I got to talking Bonsai. He was really into is 20 years ago, and had collected trees from the top. EVERY year he tells us not to take any plants from the mountain (there are a few species of plants that are so rare they’ve only been identified on this particular mountain) There is a biologist/botanist PHD that lives on the mountain solely to study the habitat...
Anyway, the owner this year insisted that I take a few trees and try to Bonsai them. Not the correct time for collecting, I know, but he insisted.
I got one small Eastern Hemlock, a very small 2nd year maybe American Beech, a “wild blueberry” as he called it, and another tree that I can’t seem to accurately identify.
I’ve been using the app “Picture this” and it gives me a different identification almost every time I take a picture. I’ve gotten sweet birch, Yellow birch, America Hornbeam and others. So whatdoyathink?
