Hello,please to meet everyone.My name is Steve, my kids and grandkids gave me my screen name. I'm new to computers as well as bonsai.Well i've always been interested in the art for the past 15 years.Had about 12 pretrees then and lost them all, no knowledge, just hacking away.Got back into it last year when my son bought me a mallsai,joined the local club,tons of books,a japanese nursery and now the web.My wife says "how can a fifty year old look at tress all the time,one looks the same as another." That's all right ,I'd go crosseyed if I looked at crosswords all day like she does.Anyway I'm 50 live in monmouth county new jersey,so I'll have plenty of different varities to look for and collect.Right now my collection includes:
Trident maple
Cotoneaster
Satsuki azalea
Schefflea
Jap. maple
Junipers(2)
Serissa
Yew (2) (collcted from the street)
Native maple
" cedar
" juniper
" hemlock
" white pine ( what we call scrub or pitch pine here, tons of
them here in south jersey)
Well it's been fun talking and hope to do more thru the years,even if my fingers are tied in knots right now.
LOL..see ya later
Steve
