@Brian Van Fleet you tapped out for good for good or you still in the game?

Well, this entry sure tapped out. I have cuttings from @Mellow Mullet I could enter, but they’re more than 5 years out from a bonsai pot.

Give the cuttings a try or stop at home depot and find yourself one with a nice trunk to start with. I picked up 7 azaleas from homedepot for $6.88 each on sale 50% off. I've been slowing cutting each one down.

Haha, now I definitely don't want to 'lose' to an azalea that was literally thrown out of the back of a pickup truck, and left for dead in a ditch on the side of the road, by a bunch of garden mobsters.

I'm just now noticing this contest, if that's what it is? Can someone point me to the rules? I get the gist of it I think, not a bonsai, but turn into one in 5years?

So sorry Brian, there’s actually no need for you to respond if you choose not to.
I piggybacked on the thread to ask for some quick information on the type of media folks use for their Azalea Bonsai.
The purpose is the provide information for an overhaul of the evergreen azalea resource I posted earlier.
Hopefully over the years, with help of the experienced folks here, it will evolve be a really good comprehensive free resource.
