I, too, have gotten the 10 footers and had permission to cut them down on the premises. I am still grinning after reading that one. "Wide eyed" does not quite describe the reaction. They all see me coming, now. My best one is an old juniper that a neighbor was having dug out because he was tired of it and wanted something flowering in that spot. I am also developing quite a collection of dwarf trees from a grower friend up here (Oregon). This has become his specialty and it will be interesting to see how they work out. He has not developed them for bonsai but now that he knows me..........well..........he is starting to use the word bonsai in his description of uses for these trees. At the moment, though, it is mostly people into rock gardening that are buying these trees. Neat, huh?
