Here in the great Basin we have many interesting plants. Have you heard of anyone trying them as a bonsai? Are they rare as bonsai because they are too difficult to grow or just not as popular?
Cercocarpus,Mountain-mahogany. Slow growing I know Pinion pine, slow growing too. Pinus contorta subsp. Murrayana, Lodgepole Pine Tamarack Pine Manzanita So far I have collected some mountain mahogany and pinion pine seed. Just curious as to my chance of success with them as bonsai. |

| The pines are used all the time, the mahogany I've never heard of as bonsai, but hopefully someone else will have. |

| I considered Manzanita, but never went through with it. On this side of the Sierras, I've seen many naturally occurring Lodgepole bonsai. Josh |
