A couple of branches died (I think they drop branches very easily), but the tree’s alive! I’m giving it cold protection this first winter.
Sagebrush is best collected at the very first week of spring also get as much of the tap root as possible. Big deep pot for three years before cutting the tap root down. 1 out of 10 survive bonsai practice so best of luck to you.
This is not my experience in the slightest.
Well I dedicated all my time since 2018 on sagebrush and killed a bunch of them until I got it down. A few people said I should write a book on developing sagebrush as bonsai. Right now im juggling lots of things and I haven't fired up the old computer in three years. Im thinking of making a few care sheets for when Im ready to start selling my work.
That all sounds great. But I just think your suggestions are not on par with my experiences nor others I’ve spoke with and seen, which at this point are pretty extensive. So before you consider writing anything formal I’d imagine more trials are in order.
Very much appreciated, I'll take this with much consideration to write down my personal experiences in a journal. Explaining the right terminology isn't easy for me.
