Just throwing this out there. If you have a larger bouganvilla you are getting rid of let me know. I would like dibs on the root ball and bottom 1/3 of the plant, willing to pay for it as long as it's alive and fresh out of the ground. Looking to make some larger bonsai plants.

It turns out the plants are amazingly tough about being transplanted. I was visiting a garden with huge conservatiories this weekend. One of the buildings was completely refurbished a while back. The huge old bougainvilleas climbing the columns were somehow taken down, moved to temporary quarters, and put back into place afterward. They all survived. |

Yeah they are very tough plants. My neighbor chops his down to the ground every few years and it pops right back up.

That''s why there's bougainvilleas in Jacksonville. Not to mention poinsettias. |

Foamball, pm me. I have one I'd part with (it's older, but I just cut it back and it's coming in again. It will probably come back like a zombie when you take it out, too .

Foam,
When you do your bonsai project, take photos, before and after, along the way... I'd like to see it posted here. Good luck |
