All the best,

Z...
Not considered bonsai? I have to confess I have never heard that sentiment before. I'm stumped by it in fact. So you'll have to humor me and elaborate on the origins of that thought. I know that some of the most popular trees in both Elandan and the Rim are it's azaleas.
I couldn't imagine not considering it a bonsai. Daniel has some fabulous jade bonsais... if we want to talk about trees not quite being bonsai... at least my azalea has wood.     lol (Note to anyone who owns jades.** I think jades can be quite spectacular... my comment is in no way to be considered a negative poke at them, rather as an illustrative bit of humor.**)
