They will come north in May, with phytosanitary papers from Louisiana.

With an elm you should be fine!

I just collected two trees in the past several days. The first is a hornbeam that was growing beside a brook in our woods. I put it in a grow box, and made a tent with a clear plastic bag, and placed that in our furnace room. That process worked well last spring with several hawthorns collected in March. The second tree is a root sucker from a Sargeant's crab apple (Malus sargeantii). This tree had been pruned and even hit by the lawn mower over the past several years. I previously used the root cutting shovel to sever it from its parent tree. I put this in a pot.

Went deep into the swamp today and only collected one BC but it is a special one! Got mud from head to toe so no picture until I get that thing potted.
BTW yes I did have to fight skeeters and scary critters to get to that tree.
The tree took a long time to collect. My charge rate is $250/hr. This tree is costly

Me too, my first barberry, other than the 8 I ripped out of my flower bed when I purchased my house like 16 years ago, back then bonsai didn't cross my mind, and I hated barberry.
Ohhh, and I made a connection today, a customer at the barbershop that does landscaping said they throw everything they dig out of yards in a burn pile. Told him, why do that when I'll pitch you some money, said they are about to remove a bunch of large Japanese maples very soon most likely, said someone butchered a pruning job and the owners want them replaced. Mentioned I like butchered up Japanese maples haha.

Did another walk about today. I have been searching in vain for a water elm. We are supposed to be in the range but I haven't found any.
No big BC collection. I just pulled one tiny BC for another split trunk bunjin project. Stay tuned
