salix

I don't get what this guy's beef is at all. I did a little digging, and this guy has a Chinese Garden on his Estate (he's the Earl of Longford, apparently), and has had local artists carve shapes into the roots of ancient trees on the family property, he grows all kinds of plants in pots and in the ground, but he "loathes" bonsai. I agree with Carl that it would be a good thing to be able to write to this guy, but I haven't been able to find a single scrap of contact information for him.
