No Shortage of Sprouts

If it turns out that all of my bristlecones sprout, I don't think I'll be surprised. I do think that the real challenge with these little guys is going to start once they've sprouted branches and a stronger root system. From everything I've read, they're not too welcoming to excessive watering, and aren't the beginner's tree. I think with (hopefully) more than twenty to work with, I'll have a few living xmas trees in the years to come.
