[IBC] The Blind Leading the Blind
Remember those Broadmoor junipers I asked about? They are in the ground and
back budding like crazy. Most of them have long ropy trunks which would be easy to wire. Yesterday my buddy & I went to the same nursery & collected some more of them. I have two invitations to speak in Binghamton. On October 7, I will be giving a talk at the Binghamton Garden Club on an introduction to bonsai. They invited Bonsai Club/Broome County en masse. I am planning to take one of these junipers & style it as a cascade. Then on October 18, I will be at Bonsai Club/Broome County for their meeting. At that time, I will take the same juniper & do a potting demonstration, then the club can raffle it off. Here is my question. Right now the junipers are in the ground. When I go to Binghamton obviously the demo tree has to be in a temporary pot. When is the best time to put the tree back in a pot? Should I wait till the last minute, or pot it up a certain amount of time beforehand?

I would leave it alone until just before your demo. Then replant it in an
oversized plastic pot. Then move it into a bonsai pot during the demo. Most viewers like to see a beginning-to-end operation (as if that's all there is to creating a bonsai).
