This one seeded in our back yard without anyone’s intervention. Last year I put it into a pot… an iedori if you like, since I didn’t have to go to a mountain. It’s been growing all year to the point that I needed to decide what I wanted to do with it. I’ve decided for a small bonsai.
I’ve got others I grew from seed, but they don’t have anything like this one’s character… they all end up looking like palm trees. I need to intervene there.
