Well so far I have never seen a perfect tree. But what is perfect? I'm guessing perfect follows all the rules of bonsai set out by the Japanese. SO I guess you need to get the tape measure and mesaure the girth of the trunk to the height of the tree and that the first, second and third branches are in the exact location as specified by the Japanese rules.

I have never said to anyone that they have the perfect tree. I have said to people that their trees are magnificent, beautiful, excellent etc. That's as far as I would go. I don't know all the rules of bonsai so I can't judge whether a tree is perfect. I simple know whether a tree is magnficent and other relevant adjectives.
