Hello,
Lowes garden center has been having 75% off of all conifers this week.I have boughten a load of trees over the weekend and went back for a few more today.They are selling 3 gallon size trees for 3$ before tax.I have been able to get the rest of my finds into some basic forms.This is the last one I have worked and I stopped cut the bucket down and left at this shrub shape for now.I can easily turn this into a single trunked tree and wire down branches and so on....but I figure I would post one here and see what comes of it.Suggestions welcome!Thanks.

Hi Wes, Looks like the bargain of the year. $3 each what a gift. Fairly thick trunks too and of course setting to the task or pleasure of styling right away. A few weeks back i bought 14 jun. proc. nana A$4 each and got into them . Winter down here so i could make radical twists and bends without damage to the cambium layer (1'' trunks) this is heaven. I had a couple with multiple branches like your one here so i selected my apex and simply stub jinned the others. This gives me the choice later on that if i want to get rid of any then ok i will. What i have been doing in recent years is sketching where i think the tree will take me. Drawing is not my strong area but i find i can get a design happening with the tree. Most people can identify what a buzz this initial process gives to us and then the pleasure when we see our creation in a pot. Catch up soon for an update. Ash
