In 2 years time I will reduce this collection to the specimens that show potential. My fylosophy: If you have the space to place plants in full ground: start with a wide range of young plants, let them grow for a bit and decide which trees are good, and which to get rid of. Of all species where I have more than 2 plants, I intend to get rid of all but two or three. Time investment: Maybe 3 hours a week on average.

How about you guys?

Hey kids,
This is a list of my trees.
1 privet,
1 Eastern red bud
1 White pine
1 Norway spruce
1 Boxwood
1 sourwood
1 manatoba maple
1 common lilac
1 limelight hydrangea
1 stag horn sumac
2 beech
1 schefflera
2 hydrangea cuttings
7 weeping willow cuttings.
1 tree that I have yet to identify.
I know I'm forgetting a few. It's cold here and I'm in my pajamas and don't want to go out right now and see what I've forgotten.
The only styled bonsai I own are my white pine and schefflera. The others are works on progress.
I also will be getting rid of a few trees this spring to make room for trees with more potential.

Wow ... lol

Suppose it will take me a while to get that many trees. But I will have fun trying. So far, only 2 of my seeds have sprouted. Hoping for more by the end of the week.

Haha. Just wait. You don't know it's happening until it's too late.Before you know it you'll have 15 or 20 trees and you're on the show "intervention".

My collection:

1 juniperus chinensis (shimpaku)
1 juniperus procumbens nana
1 group containing 5 willows
1 chameacyparis obtusa spp. (cypress)

I've not many room outside, so I have to do it with this amount, but now I can care all of them for more than 200%

Nice collection

Wow, now I am really envious of how much are in your collection. I only have 4 sprouted seeds and I am also excited to see how much more will sprout by the end of the week or the next one as well.

Now I am really excited to make mine bloom and I am hoping it will all turn for the best.

Just found this thread again. Interesting to see that pretty much none of the earlier trees is still in my colleection. One f these days I will make a tally of the ~100 trees on my benches here. Meanwhile.. How about you all? What d you havestanding around?
