Pictures of Evergreen Gardenworks trees
Here’s the pictures of the Evergreen Gardenworks pre-bonsai trees that I purchased. These will be left alone for 3-5 years while they fatten up a little bit before I try to convert them to bonsai. The weeping atlas cedar (Cedrus atlantica var. Pendulum) should be particularly interesting, since they are very nice full-grown. You’ll also notice that the Atlas Cedar is not a Blue Atlas, but just the standard form. I don’t usually like variegated color forms since they don’t give me an impression of an older tree.
