contest

Don’t know if it’s still allowed to participate or if my tree’s are even eligible but I just saw this contest and thought heck let’s try. Bought these trees last january from a garden center as practice trees for a hefty discount. 2 for €5 for the smaller ones and €5 for the “bigger” one. They...

Found another mugo & couldn't resist. The tag lists it as Pinus mugo "Pumilio." This was about $50 at the local orange big-box store. Last one left, which I took as a sign I should grab it. Since acquiring it I've cut down the top of the nursery pot, brushed off loose soil, and removed dead...

This is my second entry in the Vance Wood Memorial Mugo Contest. I got this on May 21 this year from a nearby big box hardware store (the blue one). I do not know what variety it is as the tag was missing, so I am going to assume it is a regular Pinus mugo until proven otherwise. Selecting this...

This is my first entry in the Vance Wood Memorial Mugo contest. It is a small Pinus mugo 'Slowmound' dwarf cultivar grown by Iseli. I picked it up at a nearby nursery on May 19 this year for about $20. In the time since I have done nothing with it except water it, feed it, and remove some dead...

Went over to a couple of hardware stores at lunch to do my final sale hunt. Got 5 trees (Pinus sylvestris?) and settled on the one below. I see some people submitting a couple of trees and deciding to pick the winner later? Can you confirm if that's ok @Eckhoffw ? I was planning on doing some...

Finally got around to finishing up collecting and potting up my acorns. Probably have about 100-150 total…which is way too many for my tiny garden, but 🤷‍♂️. So far I have: Texas Live Oak (Quercus fusiformis) Southern Live Oak (Quercus virginiana) Overcup Oak (Quercus lyrata) Shumard Oak...

While perusing the Bnut website one night, I stumbled upon the 2021 shohin contest thread and became so inspired by all the different contest entries that I decided to have a go at it myself. Coincidentally I had happened to have started some dawn redwoods from seed last year from cones that I...

Hi all, I'd love to sign up for the contest with this cutting of Prunus Mume. I purchsed it for 7.99 Euros few months ago (possibly May?). It's just been potted from a plastic container into this clay one, hasn't received any style whatsoever, yet.

Purpose of this thread is simply to see if anyone is interested. I'm not one for contests, and I've never taken part in one but me and Bobby were talking and its clear that good things can be done with very cheap basic material, for some length of time. Also I am sure that a contest has been...
