If you ever need something Bonsai related, let me know as my father-in-law is pretty knowledgeable on the subject... Title: Re: I'm going collecting tomorrow.... Post by: BONOVOX on September 28, 2013, 09:41:20 am Wax on wax off.

Post by: wee on October 03, 2013, 05:31:44 am Jim....I do have a question that maybe your father in-law could help with I'm getting conflicting info. My question is about drastic cutback....I have already cut 2 of the 4 back and now some people are saying I probably killed them by doing this now....I shopuld have waited till spring....Others say to do the cutback now and not wait. I'm in zone 7b. Here are a few pics of the collected hollies.
This is after bringing them home...
