Cull The Herd, For The Good Of All

zen

Lets Indian-leg-wrestle for 'em. LOL When do you need 'em gone by Ron? It may be a few weeks before I can get up that way. And yeah what kinda stuff are we talkin' here? Some species I have NO luck with, while others I do nothing to and they go nuts, my thumb is a certain shade of green, I guess. xD Are they in plastic garden center cans or would I need to bring something to put them in?

A goodly portion of what I am getting rid of are tropical trees. Some good and a few just nursery stock. Mostly on the good side though ;o) Some temperate stuff in there also.
I should have them all selected by the end of the month. (the last weekend) Then it will be first come first serve.
For those of you that are talking shipping remember the trees are free , the shipping is not. My labor and packing material will be figured in. Come and get them and they are totally free but make me work to give them to you and it is another story..
As my old Grand Dad used to say. "No need for me to bend over backwards and kiss your butt in order to do you a favor. ;o)
(And yes he did say that. Mostly to me but sometimes to my friends as well)
So did anyone change their mind about the trees

not yet ron. be interesting to see a final list of those going though. as simple as can be, like ficus benj. - 5 chinese elm -3 etc. like i said, i may be interested, but it depends on what is being offered. since i can't get to you, i am willing to pay for it to get to me. i am sure we can work something out.

Ditto, temperate stuff sounds good.
Although tropical also sounds good depending on what they are.

Cool Ron I will do everything in power to get there the last weekend of this month. Oh and do I need to bring pots? I will let you know when the time gets closer wether it's a sure thing or not. Sounds good man. Also will you still be looking to hire this spring? I guess we can talk about that when I get up there huh? Good luck Chris & Pual,...I'll try to leave you guys some good stuff, from the tropicals xD j/k I won't take more than I can handle. Oh and Chris the mural on my son's wall is coming along nicely, i'll have to shoot some pics for you guys when it's all done.

Sorry, [Zen], it's a long way to ship them from Australia.

There were a couple of Pin Oaks, 3 Privets, 2 Buxus, 1 Chinese Elm, about a dozen figs, a Kyoto Serissa, a Trident Maple, 2 Japanese Maples (weather here is just too hot for them), a Fukien Tea, a REALLY ugly Juniperus squamata... that I can remember. I sold them in pots that I had won in raffles, or been given by people who donated pots to me when their trees died and they asked me to style another tree for them.

I have something of a fetish for good quality pots, so I let the cheap ones go. You can be pretty certain that people who have been given a tree received one in a cheap pot, unless they're already an enthusiast.
