  Evergreen Gardenworks Descriptive Catalog of Bonsai Starters
Plant sizes marked: 'Pruned especially for bonsai' means that the plant has been trained as a small tree with most of the lower branches preserved and the large upper branches pruned or removed.
These plants may also be grown out as landscape plants or larger bonsai with no detrimental effect.
For bonsai and plants remaining in nursery pots above ground, protection such as a cold frame or mulching or both is necessary to keep rootzone temperatures above 15F for most plants.

  Luma apiculata
General information: Luma is an evergreen shrub with creamy, exfoliating bark; waxy, rounded,lemony scented leaves which grow to about one inch; and small, white flowers which bloom in mid to late summer.
Although unknown in the East, and very recently introduced into bonsai culture, Luma promises to be a highly desirable plant for bonsai use due to its attractiveness, ease of care, rapid trunk growth and good leaf reduction.
Luma's one drawback (if it could be called that) is its rapid growth, which makes frequent pruning a must.

 DESERT NORTHWEST Fall 2006 Plant List!!!
Because most large wholesale nurseries, where our plants come from, either fail to recognize gardeners' interest in them, or find them to be unamenable to their highly standardized growing regime of heavy soil and tons of water and fertilizer.
Western Washington's native A. columbiana may reach a height of 8', and is ornamental at all seasons, with beautiful blue-green to grayish leaves, racemes of pendulous white spring flowers, red berries in fall, and of course the peeling cinnamon bark and alluring rugged branch structure shared by all manzanitas.
This plant is somewhere in between a groundcover and a shrub, forming a broad, low mound to about 2' high and 10' wide, and growing much more quickly than most manzanitas.

He commented that the plantings proposed for the window openings may turn brown and questioned whether they were needed; the materials selected for the garage are fine, but the canopies draw too much attention; he does not want to look at attention-getting elements like canopies.
He felt that the perforated metal was preferable to green plants in the window openings.
A different solution should be found to screen cars on the roof and recommended that no plantings be used in the window openings.
