Order in Fall, Keep Inside Until Summer?

[BugsBonsai]

Out of curiosity, where are you ordering from?

I too am curious, growing grounds has some really nice material, the only other place thats south of asheville that I can think of is Mr Maple in flat rock

It is Mr Maple. They have a young Iro Iro Japanese maple that I really liked and couldn’t turn down!

I looked at the Mr Maple website. I would expect 100% of their Japanese maple trees to be grafted. With maples, the smooth bark of the trunk is an important feature. It is very rare that with a grafted maple the graft union heals smooth enough to make a exhibition quality bonsai. You can have a pleasant tree for your back yard, but as bonsai the graft union will likely be a serious flaw. The Mr Maple ginkgos are also grafted trees, and the same warning applies for grafted ginkgos. Any tree purchased from Mr Maple would be excellent as a landscape tree but likely unacceptable as bonsai. Sorry.

I suggest you only buy cutting grown japanese maples, and currently Evergreen Gardenworks is the only nursery I know that sells cutting grown Japanese maples. They have more than 12 different cultivars available as cutting grown stock.

To add to @Leo in N E Illinois Mark Comstock (kingsville grower) has some very nice looking Japanese maple cuttings posted on his Facebook page. I'm not sure if they are the seedling cuttings like he does with pines but they look great.

I had actually been wondering specifically this question very much the last month or so but didn't feel it worthy to start a whole new thread just to ask this question. I bought a super cheap Goodblood and was wondering if I had to layer it above the graft. Thanks for mentioning that @Leo in N E Illinois.

This is my first year having chickens.

I want the third I'm allowed in my town but can't get it because I can't find one the same age as the ones I already have.

It would be harder to take care of a young chick into Winter, it might die.

I'll wait till spring.

Wait till spring.

Are your chickens 4 meat or for eggs?

My trees are not grafted and will work wonderfully for what I am looking for. Evergreen didn’t carry the varieties I was looking for. Thanks though!
