There is no un-bonsai related box store in Taiwan. All nurseries have a bonsai section. I am assuming I then just make sure I purchase from the non-bonsai section. Is this correct?
What a wonderful place that must be.There is no un-bonsai related box store in Taiwan. All nurseries have a bonsai section. I am assuming I then just make sure I purchase from the non-bonsai section. Is this correct?
What a great problem to have! The non-bonsai section will have to work but the real story is going to be your photograph of the material. If Taiwan's non-bonsai looks like our pre-bonsai then that could be a problem. I trust you'll play fair.There is no un-bonsai related box store in Taiwan. All nurseries have a bonsai section.

Sounds good. No prize other than bragging rights. The purpose of the challenge is simply to get everyone working on something to increase their skills (by way of a friendly challenge). Glad you can join in on the fun.Oh I have all intentions of playing fair. To be honest I don't even know what the outcome of this is other than Walter Pall comment and critiquing the tree. I thought that is the prize?!
I want to try to find raw material. We have a lot of plants in pots here. But it is easy to find bonsai's. Lots of cheap-cheap like US$20 bonsai that have 2" trunks and are 14" tall. But the quality ones cost just as in any place. All stores carry cheap pots and accessories and tools.
Yes, your email has been received. I don't want to open it yet until I finish mine but as long as you have the two required photos, type of material and style you're good. Thanks and good luck!vin,
I submitted my tree last night...just want to make sure it was received and I had all the necessary components...BTW...it just barely started to bloom...needed about 3 more days lol.
Best,

Here's a tiny little list of Broadleaf Evergreens; http://www.urbantreefarm.com/broad-leaf-evergreens
That's fascinating, but I don't think any of those species are available in cold weather climates! No nursery or big box store in my area will carry any of those.
Vin, I didn't realize Taxus was a conifer, I've never noticed cones on a Yew!Good question Darlene and thanks for the pat on the back. It is written in the rules that the 14 days start from the purchase date. However, it makes more sense for the clock to start ticking once the tree is approved. I plan on checking in often but things happen and maybe my internet goes down for a day or I get sick or something; you never know. So, the 14 days will begin once the tree has been given the green light. I'd hate to see someone purchase something like a Podocarpus or Taxus thinking they are evergreens and start working on them only to find out they don't qualify. Hopefully, everyone agrees.
Yep, they are conifers. See all the valuable information that can be learned from Bonsai Nut?Vin, I didn't realize Taxus was a conifer, I've never noticed cones on a Yew!
Interesting to note that the Ginko is also a conifer.They are considered conifers even though they have berres as well as Junipers.
Are you sure about that?Interesting to note that the Ginko is also a conifer.
Cool! "Ginkgo biloba is a deciduous conifer (a true gymnosperm) that matures to 100' tall. It is the only surviving member of a group of ancient plants believed to have inhabited the earth up to 150 million years ago". I also read it's the oldest living tree on earth.Are you sure about that?
