Interesting link about Texas oak-style bonsai. Our club has a dig coming up this weekend in brush country, near Mathis. I'm not sure if oak is endemic to that area but I'll be looking for it. Typical yamadori species in our area include: anacua, texas ebony, colima, hackberry, mustang grape, kidneywood and mesquite (the latter being particularly fastidious with a low survival rate after collection). We also find tamarix along the coast.
