Your chances are 0. Unless you can water regularly for the first few weeks,
your seedlings won't stand a chance to survive. Even if you do get someone
to provide early watering, the CA climate will surely do them in.

Subject: [IBC] Unattended Pre-Bonsai -- possible?


Hi:

My family owns undeveloped property outside of Visalia, California. I
asked Mom (the owner)
if I could put some pre-bonsia in the ground. She thinks that the trees
would die due to lack
of attention ( it's 6 hours away).
It's hot in the summer and may get some snow in winter. My plan to put
hardy local types up
there (oak, pepper, juniper, pine, sequoia, etc) that have nice rootballs
in well prepared
beds. I could visit 2-4 times a year. Certainly, I need to do much more
research ...

What does the group thinks my chances of success might be?

Thank You

ps: I read the group via usenet if that matters, the email address is
valid and heavily
filtered.
