Cedars
Naturally upon arrival they were dormant and looked half dead. They have now been planted and cared for and are greening up and look healthy. Initially placed in a raised garden bed until permanent place completed. Now that they have been in this spot for about 3 weeks, all 3 are greening up and and healthy. No actual growth yet but they are certainly not dead. If continue to do well, I will buy more next spring

Small but mighty
These trees arrived a bit smaller than I had imagined, but they’re well rooted and hardy.I decided to start training them for bonsai. It’s not a super common cedar variety for bonsai, but I find them quite easy to work with (and quite forgiving).Attached photo is 1 day after arrival and initial bonsai constraints in place. I think it will do nicely and train well.
