bonsaiTALK Community - View Single Post - Jap. Red maple cuttings... HELP!

I would like to offer you my sincere and humble apologies if my using the term "Jap. Red Maple in the title of a post in this forum.

I was not aware, until I was notified by PM from a polite user of this forum, that the term "Jap" was considered offensive. I certainly understand why, and I did not consider that at all.. I am from Canada and if I was talking about a "Canadian red maple", I would not be surprised if I said "Can. red maple"

But alas, I meant no harm, insult, or offense to anyone.

Again, My sincere and humble apologies.
