Tradesmen, contractors, construction guys earn good money, I cant think why they'd want to jeopardise that for a few plants in pots. Definitely nothing to worry about!
This wasnt really a choice. We needed to get work done on the house and unless I find somewhere else to put 50+ trees for 3 weeks, they have to stay in my yard.
The last time somebody showed and interest in my trees, I sent them home with a seedling. When folks show an interest, I also demystify bonsai a bit by telling them that bonsai are just regular trees that somebody has taken the time to train by pruning and wiring them. I point out a few of my trees that came from big box stores, āI got that one from Home Depot. That one came from Loweās.ā A lot of folks in the general public think ābonsaiā is a special species of tree. They donāt know that they could have one just by planting seeds or buying a cheap tree at their local garden center and working on it for a few years.
