BONSAI NEW EASY METHOD-# 112-PICKING A NURSERY SPECIMEN

[jackiejunque]

Can you grow just about any plant as bonsai? I have a schefflera that looks like it was grown as a bonsai. Its just in a regular pot with dirt. Would it do well in the sphagnum moss?

wow sunnybird, your lucky cuz bald cypress cost so much more where I am. That looks like a great nursery. I didn't like that ficus you purchased though. I don't think the taper will ever be pleasing. Are you planning to carve it a bit to improve the taper?

Hi, It is a great nursery and we are very lucky to be within driving distance. I reeally haven't looked closely at the ficus, but I liked it when I saw it, and I fell that eye appeal, as in other collecting areas is so important. It will be whatever it will be. We'll just have to wait to see what I do when I get to it in the next couple of days. jerry

Your daughter, or niece closed the video ?

Perhaps in the future, you can give the prices of the different items you purchsed.

..............................­...Bald Cypress at a regular nursery. 7' high. $22.00

Cut it back, it grows like a weed.

Take a cutting, stick it into the sandy earth, 60 days later, roots galore.

Hi, That was Erik's wife, Andrea, who is always a great help when we visit. Their prices are verty reasonable for the great specimens they offer. I think their prices beat the regular nurseries and the selectuion is far superior to anything I have ever seen at a regular nursery. Well worth the visit. Jerry
