bonsaiTALK Community - View Single Post - Trees Killed

I have over the last 15 years lost hundreds of trees. There is no way that I could remember or document each one but each one did add to the pool of knowlege that I draw from. Here is an example. Last year we dug up and root pruned 30 cedar elms. Six went into good draining soil in pots. (the best six) The rest went into the field. Time was early spring. The potted material fell out in the summer and the field material did well. Go figure!!
Any way I have a bone pile of major trees that would keep you warm for most of the winter. I think that the moral of this thread is...if you want to learn about bonsai you will loose trees.
