When I want to do my best hunting for material, I go up into the high buttes of northwest Nebraska, known as the Pine Ridge region. I have seen some trees there that I would not presume to try to move (way too big and way too precious to risk). The only real difference between them and some of the most extreme deadwood bonsai I have seen is some wire brushing, some lime sulpher, some pinching, and some feeding and watering over time. If I was fortunate enough to actually find one small enough and with adequate roots to move and keep alive, then to have the grand privilege of training and caring for the tree for what remains of my passing lifetime, and then pass the tree on to another, who would continue to train and care for it...

...I think I would call it Bonsai.
