Hi Jason,

Thanks for the pointer to the wire, looks like good stuff.

There are a couple of nurseries here that carry this. The one I got is the most "normal", most are very contorted. The bad thing is that mine is also among the smallest, most are 4-5 ft. I think these must be collected from somewhere, they were in balled in very sandy soil inside of 15 gallon pots.

Maybe I'll try to bring the tree along to a BSOP meeting. I was thinking of saving it for Walter's visit in June, though I have several other trees for that.
