Hello All,
This is my first post here but I have been a long time lurker.
I was wondering if anyone knew where in Texas I could collect yamadori. I am interested in Juniper and pine species.
I have been looking online and there is not much information about this topic that I could find and I would very much like to get more information on it.
I have gone around my city to various plots of lands and asked land owners if I could collect some young pines and I was given permission but upon closer inspection the trees I was interested in had several issues so I decided against it.
Anyways, around my city there arent really any areas to collect really good bonsai specimens so I was thinking of taking a trip to north Texas or west Texas to search for a juniper (one seed, utah) or pine (bristle cone) but I am just not sure where I could even go and Im not really down to just start driving when I have no clue where to drive. Do you guys who collect trees just go to public hunting lands? Or remote locations off of the highway? What is the best method and how should I go about planning a trip if I wanted to do this say next spring?
Thank you in advance.
