Hi,

I agree about the twigs andsoforth. On the other hand I don't think you should buy expensive stock as a beginner. I did. I was at the Gingko awards almost a year ago, and was so overwelmed with al the beautiful trees that I bought a five needle pine that wasn't too cheap. It died on me. I won't buy any expensive trees anymore until I'm sure I can take care of them. But in between the twigs any the big $$ trees is a lot of nice material for the newbie. Look in your or someone elses garden for some conifers to play around with. You can experiment and won't have to much of a problem if it dies. I've seen some nice junipers with a reasonable trunk at the garden center for a nice price. Try these first.

just my 2 cents

rgds, René
