What can we learn from this?

1. Patience
2. Mediocre material can be nice bonsai
3. Novice and intermediate enthusiasts can use mediocre material for practice
4. You should be proud of what you do, no matter how long it takes or what other people think
5. mistakes help you learn
6. we all make mistakes
7. That twenty years is a long time to keep a tree alive. another thing to be proud of
8. If you are proud of it. who cares what anyone else thinks
9. after we have been into the hobby for an unsurmountable number of years, we too can look back on what we could have done different, and pass it onto the newcomers....

Thanks Walter for the chronicle of this tree.....excellent history lesson.
