The Moon in Wyoming

I'm back! The season really got ahead of me this year and despite my best efforts I couldn't keep up! I could not do the Burlap Bonanza this year or even post new trees, but I'm finally catching up.

I'm posting a few new trees now and I'll have quite a few nice ones coming up later this summer and fall. We just need a little more sun to get them growing!


Have a great summer!

If you are not familiar with the species offered here please check with a local nursery or bonsai group to see if that species will survive in your area. A little research might save you some money!

Sorry that I had to miss the show!
