[IBC] is it time to collect?
I'm a bonsai newbie from Seattle. When is the ideal time to
collect bonsai? I plan on taking a trip into the mountains to find a couple. Do I need a permit? Now, and yes. If you are on federal land you need a permit from the federal agency that manages the land. If it's state land, you need a permit from the state (generally harder to get that from the feds). If it is private land you need permissions from the landowner -- and I'd get it in writing in case the owner's agent discovers you out there digging things up. The ONLY way you don't need some kind of permit these days is if YOU own the land. Jim Lewis - - Tallahassee, FL - Our life is frittered away by detail . . . . Simplify!

An additional note:
If you have never dug a tree before, I suggest you go out with at least one experienced tree collector. Jim Lewis - - Tallahassee, FL - Our life is frittered away by detail . . . . Simplify!

You took the words out of my mouth. ;-) For a greenhorn to go collecting by himself is at best a waste of his time and at worst a waste of plant material. I would even suggest to wait with collecting from the wild until one has learned how to keep potted trees alive for two or three years. Reiner Goebel Toronto, Canada http://www.rgbonsai.com |

Before you traipse into the cascade foothills to find yourself that perfect
Mountain Hemlock, Lodge pole Pine, or hit the Columbia basin for a Western Juniper, I would suggest you join the Puget Sound Bonsai Association ( http://psba.8m.com/ ). They meet near the UW campus, centrally located to most of Seattle. Aligning yourself with this group will also get you in on the action early for the Pacific Northwest Bonsai Convention, which is being hosted in Seattle by the PSBA this year. Not to mention, Dave Degroot (Pacific Rim Bonsai Collection at Weyerhaeuser http://www.weyerhaeuser.com/aboutus/...arters/bonsaic ollectionb.asp ) is giving Free (YES FREE!) seminars every other Sunday ( i believe ) this year starting in May...Go... you MUST GO! When you get done with that, head to Bonsai Northwest (http://www.bonsainw.com/default.asp ) and visit, shop, drool, shop some more, clean up embarrassing drool... Then, After you have had the chance to learn the basics and done all of the above - hook up with someone experienced who is going collecting.
