• Bonsai is a tree in a pot, right? Check out these trees at Sanford during some hospital related construction. They are temporarily living as giant bonsai. Seem healthy now too.

Cool Trees that I'd like to Bonsai:

• Banyan () -
• Bristlecone Pine (Pinus Aristata) - this is a very long lived slow grower
• Coastal redwood ()- made a bunch of attempts at this...
• Eucalyptus () - have one but...
• Giant Sequoia (Sequoia Gigantea) -
• Ginko () - always enjoyed this tree (would the small tree be stinky too?)
• Grape () - It's a vine, but make the coolest shapes!
• Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum) -
• Strawberry Tree (Arbutus Unedo) - Dark red bark, spaced branches, weird orange then red fruit, grows well in CA and gets tallish. Pix of two of them here. (There are some of these around the office; once ripe, the fruit is nice.)
• Weeping Willow () - always loved this one
