Must purchase a box store/non-bonsai nursery tree before September 30th.

Must style and enter pics before
Halloween.

Likes will be votes, tallied till Thanksgiving.

This will be a contest of sourcing(finding the best material), styling(making the most of material), and picture taking(people like good pictures)!

I'm going to make it Bitch and moan free. If a lot of people have you on ignore....and can't vote for your tree, well, you've done too much bitching and moaning already!

Full rules and guidelines(few) to come.

What say you?

I'm in, assuming the material is not exclusive in nature.

You mean non-bonsai related nursery stores or do you specifically mean K mart, Manards, Lowes, and Home Depot. Sadly most of those outlets today have sold off most of their stuff. Smaller independent nurseries do have a lot of stuff.

I am wondering the same as Vance, there is a huge difference in quality of big box store material v. Local nursert material.

I'm down with it, and I already have a tree at work I've been staring at for a couple years I was thinking of getting this last week, I guess I will!

Thanks.....

Please remember you can use a tree from anywhere..
No price/size/purchase place restrictions.

Nebari.....

Trunks....

Vision....

Styling....

Remember, a $5 nursery juniper will make a greater transformation than a finished tree given a New pot....
Or will it?
Both are adequate entries.

Voting will be open to ALL.

We are looking to amaze.
