Hi Joannie, this is the first time i,ve counted but i have at least 60 different species, (not including cultivars or varieties), most of them are purely the result of being a propagation nerd but I feel i,ve learnt more from the growth habits of these and trees in general than if I had specialized at the start. One thing I do from time to time is to buy or propagate at least two of one species, one goes in the ground for trunk development whilst the other is potted and experimented on and branches and ramification developed on a spindly trunk. by the time i lift the field grown tree I have learnt the specifics on the development mule which can be discarded, sold or used for propagation, regards Andrew
