It will not be typical grafting work.  I was going to graft some Ulmus parvifolia "Hokkaido" to some regular parvifolia under stock. (Chinese Elm). Its not practiced a lot but, I have had some very interesting results. Mainly for the two different barks and the supper small leaves of the "Hokkaido". email me grow@agarden.com or post here.

It looks like it could be warm enough this weekend for a collecting trip. Anyone interested?

Looking to see who wants a Feb. gathering. email me. grow@agarden.com For those of you who have not made it to one of the weekend field trips you have missed a pretty good time, the weather is really cooperating...... .  We have dug a good many trees to work into bonsai, collected moss for finishing groundcovers, rock for decor and root over rock bonsai.  I will start digging Chinese elms for anyone that wants.  We should have plenty to work on in meetings all spring and summer,fall......  . We have talked about bringing someone in for a demo. Someone maybe from an afilliate club. There will be some costs. Not much if enough want to attend. Maybe as little as 5-10.00 per person.  If anyone is interested I will be bringing in bonsai pots for spring (March).  Also there has been some interest in Dai bonsai.  Anyone else?
