Our bonsai club has our display the first weekend in June. We have one room for vendors and one room for demo's and the large hall for the display trees.We put on two demo's each day, with staked green mound junipers.One of our memebers that has been into bonsai for over 30 years loves to do cascades and he's good at it, me on the other hand I hate working on them, I would much prefer working on staked plants which we usually have, I seem to have better success with informal uprights because I like them better.I went by my favorite nursury yesterday to buy a small staked green mound and they were out of them, just the large expensive ones left.Other errands took me to Home Depot, so I went out in the garden just to see what they had. I found some small green mounds (not staked). I bought one to show what you can do with you money if you don't buy a stick.
Please keep in mind I don't like doing cascades, this is probably the second one I've even done and it shows, but it is an example.
If anyone is interested I will give this tree away in a contest if the winner will pay the shipping (probably around 15 bucks, if's it more than 20 bucks, I'll make up the difference) All you have to do is guess how long it took me to butcher this little plant.
Ciao,
Harry

) Harry, give it to a noob. I can just spend $12 bucks and go make 2 of my own.
Hey all, do cascades have to play by the same rules as uprights? If so don't you need to shorten this one down to about 4.5"?
