Doug,

Yes, it is a great hobby and for the 200 ones I don't recommend it to anybody, it was to much work!
But that was when I was younger and inexperienced :)
I sold a few and the rest were great gifts for friends and relatives.

The biggest one, a wonderful sequoia, 2 feet tall, diameter 4 inches, was my gift for my former company. They managed to kill it in 2 months...

As in everything else, you need to start, then you gain experience by experimentation and reading. Patience came shortly after with some interesting understanding on how Nature works. Give it try!

Agustin.
