It'd be nice to join in as well. Does anybody know if Prunus Cerasus can be used as a bonsai species? It has a marvellous bark and leaves can get quite small even on a large tree. Don't see much of them in the community though.

We're already through three of five years. Chances are you won't be able to accomplish much in the remaining two years. Why not join a more recent contest? I'm just now starting an Acorn to Oak Tree contest that you're welcome to join.

I am! I've got two trees that aren't anything good, but I'm committed to the challenge/contest.

I’m following this, as I’m interested in the contest theme. I have a locally collected Alder from a BNutter that meets the entry requirements, so I may do my own version in spirit.

I am! I still have my pine forests from seed. I'll post some photos by this weekend and update my feed for the contest

Still here! My two trees are not looking too close to prize-winning yet though at least they're healthy... Will post updates once spring starts properly.

Still here! In fact, this is going to be the do-or-die year where I try and cram my serviceberry into a bonsai pot.

I will take over the contest, I’ve done this before with last year’s Little Christmas Tree contest when the member who started it disappeared.
ThIs contest will end in September of 2025. I will send out reminders next year and organize the judging by posting photos of the final entries and an open poll to choose the winner In the meantime, I’ll go through this thread to see if there is anything I missed, like donated prizes, and post occasionally to keep up the interest. I did enter this contest but, sadly, my native Mt Hemlock died in the summer heat of 2022 : (

If you started work on it in 2020 then go ahead and enter - start a new thread for your tree. I decree that this is acceptable!, lol!

I just counted up 184 entry threads for this contest! There are many members with multiple threads, so remember, only one official entry per member, but your other tress can be considered for honourable mention.
The rules stipulate that you are supposed to update your threads at least once a year. Let‘s get back on travk and start posting your updates.
Getting to be the time to start sourcing your native pots for these trees!
