jbp it was time
3 years under my belt now and yes it is now time for me to add more advanced tree's to my personal collection. a senior member of my club was thinning out his collection and i was blessed to be able to pick 3 well grown trees in little need of more developement but more refinement,(age doesnt come into this equation, long way to go there). for you out there in melbourne that are looking for this type of material, private collections is where to get it. the trees are better value for your money.
quality verses price is something our nurseries are not cutting and i refuse to buy advanced trees from them. i do understand that it is an extremely tough buisness and competetive. all the more reason attention to detail and quality needs to be paid. i stress again it is not about age only time can change that and our country is very young as far as bonsai goes.
to all of you out there who in the past have professed about the need to buy advanced stock; it is now that i am ready and totally get what you were all on about.
i thank you all for your willingness and your patience in waiting for a newb to catch up.
here is a jbp i got and am posting some different views. it is the 4th week of autumn and am keen to start working on it. i am thinking that before i take anything off i should wire down all the main branches and get a better feel and look for it. what do you jbp buffs out there think?
hiro is coming out in june the first month of winter and as much as i would like to take this tree to his work shop, i have my reservations about doing the work needed that time of the year.
