It is so nice to see a post like this one, wherein the progress of a tree is recorded, from nothing at all into something quite nice, it really gives one a sense that sometimes, not going to a bonsai-specific-purpose-grown-trees-sold-here-for-your-instant-gratification type of nursery, and droppin off your kid's tuition for a couple of nice trunks, and adding your deed and car title to the pot for a decent looking chunk of clay to stick ONE of those trees in,....not to mention the body parts that some folks will take off ya for a handful of soil,...then you still gotta get wire and other stuff,...anyhow to end the rant,...nice tree, and even nicer to know that some of us bonsai folk'involoved in an artform where the motto is "patience,my boy patience",still have some. Now I'm off to work so I can start saving up some dough to spend on some decent trunks, because as much of a purist as I am at heart,...i'm a bonsaiist, at hand, and those hands do get tired of not doing anything that produces the kind of magnificent results that I see here and elsewhere on the web,...(butt-kissing=start)BUT MOSTLY HERE BY FAR,GREAT TREES YA'LL(butt-kissing=end). Love and trees, JeremyM.C.
