Newly Collected trees - and the "Wheel"
I recently went to Utah to a friends ranch and collected some Utah Junipers (Osteosperma) and Pinyon Pine. I also went through Bryce Canyon and went to The Valley of Goblins (which was amazing)! Here are a couple of the trees I collected and a special tree that looks like a wheel (my friend collected it)!!! IT IS AMAZING. These trees are currently on a misting system. I hope you all enjoy.

Great finds, and great eye !
The "wheel" reminds me of a painting of the zen circle. Keep u sposted on their progression.

Yes we dug them, but with a crow bar and pruning sheers. They were growing is pockets of sandstone. Some of the roots were under different rocks so we had to use the crowbar and move the stones and expose the roots. A couple of the trees had the root pad right underneath while a others had the roots 3-5 feet away. |
