PABonsai's Little Christmas Tree Entry

[PABonsai]

Colorado Spruce picea pungens from Lowe's. $30.

I was able to get one with a little decent trunk movement, will need more though. But he is very vigorous. Needles aren't like daggers yet!

Nice. I'm jealous of y'all finding decent spruces!

 

[PABonsai]

I searched two Lowe's, a Home Depot, a Stauffer's of Kissel Hill, a Giant and a BJ's looking for something that's not a dwarf Alberta spruce. I was really hoping to find a Douglas for but couldn't. This little thing looks good though!

Love your material

I’m on my way to my 6th place now... no Douglas yet either Lots of spruce and some rosemary

Two new additions to the family. Entries #2 and 3 for me. Chamaecyparis Lawsonia 'Elwoodii' and a Dwarf Alberta Spruce.

I got a Lawson Cypress too. Looking forward to seeing your progress

We'll see what happens and whether we can call it "progress"

I have one of those Lawson elwoodii also for the contest. The foliage is gorgeous but it's going to be "stick in a pot" territory for sure so it's going to be a small shohin I think. I have a few ideas!

We are coming closer to the end of the Little Christmas Tree contest. Final photos should be posted in your individual threads, and will be voted on by the general membership starting on April 30.

Time to start thinking about your repotting, final design, wiring, pruning and generally getting the trees in shape for the contest!
