[IBC] was Rosemary, now rue
Found a nice woody looking Rue (Rutus, national herb
of Lithuania) in a nursery the other day. Are most woody herbs treated the same as bonsai? How about the collection process? I have two other very nicely trunked herbs in the front garden. The one rosemary I was allowed to collect had so few roots, it was pathetic. I pruned back foliage to match root volume, but it is now compost.

I have two other very nicely trunked herbs in the front garden. I would treat them much the same as any other woody plant. Rue would make great mini-bonsai. Be careful, through, many species of rue have an irritant in their leaves that can cause a rash in those who are sensitive to it. As far as collection goes, that too would be standard -- get as much rootball as you can and you'll be OK. And welcome aboard (back).

[IBC] was Rosemary, now rue
About 5 years ago my wife bought me a bonsai pot and a rue plant. At the
time I could never get a good idea of what to do with it so we put it in the herb garden. I think it would probably do best if styled like a bamboo planting. It's done well in the garden so I might have to dig a section up and pot it. Keep us posted on how yours does.
