Staked procumbens, this is a gold mine. If you find these at a reduced price about now, buy all you can. Cut these back hard now! Prune most of the staked part off just leaving the trunk and a few small branches with some green on them. Next spring these baby's will explode into shohin dream boats overnight.
Leave a few to make some upright designs out of. There is a bonsai shop right off the embarcadero in San Francisco near pier 39 that makes bonsai by the thousands. He uses this exact plant. Carves them out a little, wires them up, sticks them into a mallsai blue pot and sells proabably about 50 a weekend.
