I'll have to find that story about the one in the collection that survived
the bombing of Hiroshima...Here it is!

This tree is estimated to be 375 years old and is the oldest one in our
national collection...after surviving a nuclear blast!

Unfortunately, I have people they are promised to. They dig, I watch!
They've been in the ground 3 years, approximately, and were one gallon
when they
started. I'd say have the red pencil sticks, not something great and
mature.

I've always wanted to learn bonsai. Have you ever seen a collection which
was
300 years old? One time at a museum in NYC (where I'm from) they had an
exhibit
of the oldest bonsai they know of. Simply amazing.

Yep, excepting the horribly invasive Tallow, a _very_ impressive list!
And
yard....looks great.

One of the tiny, nearly unused Reed Parks on Lake Travis' north shore has
one large Chinese Tallow right on the edge of the water...and probably
fifty
saplings within 20 feet of it. Bad sign for the Lake since those seeds
float
so well.

Victoria, what's the diameter and height of the culms/trunks on the
nandina?
Might be willing to help. Bonsai folks say they make good bonsai but I
haven't tried any yet and them pencil thin ones at the store, well, look
like a small grove of red pencils.
