« April General Meeting - Jim Gremel and Yamadori-style Junipers
Do what Jim said… »

by Lawrence LeClaire | Apr 18th, 09April Collecting Trip

An opportunity to collect 50-100 year old landscape junipers is available through the BSSF.

Arrangements have been made to collect 5 large junipers from a private home on Saturday, April 18 in Richmond, CA. If you would like to collect one of these trees or just come along for the experience, please contact Debra Bleemer at debra@bssf.org

You will need to supply a large container and soil for the plant. We will supply heavy tools for the operation, but if you have your own, please bring them. See our article on collecting material in the April newsletter and the BSSF website.

These junipers will be great long term projects and excellent material to test your grafting skills.
