| Dick another interesting tree I have is the mugo pine they are extremely hardy don't grow too big usually and they get very distorted. I have to experiment more with root pruning. I try to grow thing that are very hardy mugo are rated for zone 2 and we are that sometimes. I have some over 20 years that are struggling and perfect for the use. I just came back from a alpine trip and there is some great stuff up there. Lessons is nature's torture and growing that we can build into the bonsai |
