It looks like you have tons of room, lucky man! We have freezing rain, and wet snow so far.

I have an acre of lawn and 2 acres of woods with a stream. Old growth woods around the corner and state land across the street. Doesn't suck

Always nice to have protected forests nearby! At the end of my street is a 300 acre forest, great spot to get out with the dogs. I wouldn't mind having more space for growing more material though! Like all things, I am reminded to have patience.

 

[Cadillactaste]

A lot of stuff in ground or are they mulched in?

I collected a deer pruned yew from my in laws place in Palmyra some years ago. How well do the deer prune in your little slice of heaven?

They don't touch larch, some years eat pine buds, kill shipaku, eat limbs off of Japanese maples and crabapples...otherwise I'm good.

Field growing prebonsai. About 800 to 1000 total.

The oldgrowth was preserved because the ravine was too steep for the clearcutting that happened in the late 1800's and early 1900's.

That's the way to do it. It's the equivalent of 1000 years of growth in one year

Takes me about 5 years to produce a suitable prebonsai, soooo... that's about 14,000 years.

 

[PeaceLoveBonsai]

I assume you sell them?

Some good looking prebonsai stock there.

Is it common to complete so much branch development while trees are still in the field?

Yes I do.

Thank you.

I have no idea if it's common or not. I don't know of anyone who grows the way I do.

One of several deer and elk pruned Yew I have tagged for collection. These guys are pros.

I can leave my house, walk five miles in a any direction and not come out of the forest, and not see another human.

I have this old hemlock cascade around the corner I've eyed for years. I'll see if I can get a pic.
