Your chances are 0. Unless you can water regularly for the first few weeks,
your seedlings won't stand a chance to survive. Even if you do get someone
to provide early watering, the CA climate will surely do them in.

Subject: [IBC] Unattended Pre-Bonsai -- possible?
> Hi:

> My family owns undeveloped property outside of Visalia, California. I
asked Mom (the owner)

would die due to lack

> It's hot in the summer and may get some snow in winter. My plan to put
hardy local types up

in well prepared
> beds. I could visit 2-4 times a year. Certainly, I need to do much more
research ...
