Well, I have worked tirelessly on rainbow eucalyptus without much results either. Have you seen the multicolor roses that had die injections? People have been buying rainbow color rose seeds from China online!

It was a joke, you got it right! Absolutely awful. Just welcoming @Cajunrider to the neighborhood!

How big you want? I’m in the middle of winged elm country. It literally snows seeds every spring. I can get pretty much any size you want and I have a few stumps I collected last year.

I'll be posting some pictures of my mother's burning bush hedge that's been at the property as long as I remember and most likely have been planted soon after the house was built in the 60s. The trunks range from 3 to 5 inches from suckers and self seeded trunks to probably 10 to 12 inches from the original bushes that where planted. I've never dug anything close to that range in thickness. I've already collected a few of the one inch thick suckers and I've yet to find a way to kill them so there are relatively hardy Material. The wood is very soft so some of the trunks have interesting hollows at the base. The hedge is massive probably about 15 feet high. All the trunks have amazing movement down low because they no doubt had to twist and turn to gather light under such a thick hedge. Any advice on collecting something that massive would be helpful. I'm wondering also if cutting down to a stump without branches will it grow new branches. Burning bush seem to have a crazy growing period right as spring hits till mid summer then completely shuts down as soon as fruit is produced.

Whatever you are drawing in your profile pic looks sweet.. not exactly sure what it is but it sill looks cool
and that pinyon pines is very nice as well. I have a few acres in Colorado that is filled with pinyon, juniper of some kind and really nice looking sage brush. What is your experience with collecting pinyon? I wasn't into bonsai that much when I bought the property so I'm kinda clueless about any of the tree's out west.

The Pinon pine is from the trees BDMatt posted. I would love to get one myself!

The background in your picture reminds me of the countryside around Hillerød when I used to spend some time there for work. Had no idea there would be neat material like this there.
I don't have a 2024 collected plant yet so am going to cheat and post a Spruce collected last year

Dug, wired, potted, pruned today. Another J. Virginiana, the dreaded ERC. Just means I wont care if it croaks in the winter. Lol. These things Die Hard though. They are like the Chinese elms of the juniper world.

There are a lot of these in the woods out East, with a good amount of nice little trees that have shot up from the network of roots. I'm going to experiment when spring comes

Can I collect a deciduous (English Oak) tree now in coastal PacNW (Vancouver Is.), or should I wait until closer to Spring? I do have an unheated greenhouse or a slightly warmer garage for protection, if need be.

These will be moved to my garage for the hard freeze. Newly collected BCs are susceptible to hard freeze.
