Emergency tree sale Tacoma, wa

Is that an azalea in the first set of photos? If so do you happen to know what kind?
 
What species is 0905, in the red pot?
 
I mean, it looks like birch, but do you know what kind? Was it collected locally? Thanks!
 
That one is Alnus rubra, red alder. Its now in my collection and I was told it was collected locally when I picked it up.

It seems we have similar taste, as I also grabbed that mini rhodie!
 
Lol! 2 for 2. It seems we do!
 
The only time I seem to loose a branch is when I trim it to hard or bend it too far. Trimming in the early spring always equals extreme dieback for me as well.
I had a really nice trunk once then it decided to kill the apex and there wasnt anything left to build a tree out of

Yeah, that’s a bummer. Took a foot off the top of a 3 foot tree and it died back to 3 inches. Luckily a bud popped and I’ve been trying to make something out of it the last couple years. It’s not a maple no choppy choppy in spring.
 
Sad to see you wanting to part with years of hardwork and sacrifice. Everything will be alright soon enough.
The thing about years of hard work is the experience of collecting, growing, propagating and experimenting with trees allows me to collect larger material from the mountains. I figure this is a perfect opportunity to downsize and then collect some more “real” trees when I settle down.
 
Got any itoigawa or Jbp?
 
Sure surprised no one wanted this beauty. But I get it, not traditional, just a mushroom in a pot really but when it flowers it definitely makes me smile. I’ll be updating pics of everything I have left and maybe some new ones. Found a spot with a ton of quality red alders I’m going to collect…..IMG_1554.jpeg
 
Lol, need to get of my trees, then goes collecting.
Isn’t that the way it always goes. My love for trees doesn’t end because my current situation does. Lol
Collecting trees makes me happy so I’ll do it whether I’ve got a place for them or not. I’m pretty good at collection and keeping them alive but suck at making “bonsai”. So why not do what I enjoy even when I have to pass them on. Lol
But I hear ya, counter productive, but it keeps me going.
