Rip,

Just my personal opinion, but you are taking the term "foundation" much too literally. Giving an artist a foundation to work from isn't just a matter of giving the artist a good nebari. She needs a good trunk line too, otherwise she's got to go and put it back into the ground, and regrow the entire trunk. If she wanted to do that, she probably wouldn't be in the market for field-grown material in the first place.

I'm sure some of your trees do have nice movement. But what I don't understand is why, if you are serious about producing quality material, you are not ensuring that all of your trees have potential in this sense.

Best regards,
Old Mister
