However, after the recent 20 dyas and 20 nights of rain, I believe that he has commenced Ark Building- and hasn't been fertilizing. Frank, will you be taking Bonsai in pairs?

My bonsai business is small and generally centered around growing and providing material for work shops and demonstrations. I do sell semi finished small size bonsai at shows and materials for developing into bonsai that have been grown from seed or liners. In short I am more or less responsible for both the source and development of the stock I vend. With the exception of real young stuff I generally work on developing stock with small needles and great bark. The only time I force grow anything is to get some trunk size and secondary branching. So my approach is different.
