In between babysitting chores in St. Pete Beach some 300 miles
south of here this holiday season I managed to dig up that
largeish Podocarpus I asked advice about a while ago.

Now I've got to acclimatize it to North Florida (not hard when
temperatures up here are in the mid 70s and seem destined to
stay that way for a while) and force some backbudding a bit
closer to the trunk.

I've posted pictures in the "Potensai" Gallery.

Congratulations, Jim on your new acquisition.... It is a beauty, and I know you will treat it with TLC and it will survive. After seeing the comparison picture with your grandchild, I think you'd better start doing some weight training so that you don't pull out your back lifting it.

I would have left a message on the forum, but I have to figure out (when I have more time) how to do it.

Best regards, and good luck.

Thanks. Yeah, its size _probably_ means I'll only own it for a
while. I already can't lift it comfortably by myself.

I'll have fun getting it started, then . . .

Wow! Looks like you got the "big bonsai" bug ;-)

If I ever get down your way, I'll be glad to help you lift it....right into the back of my truck :-o
