I turned around and the magic begins. Bonsai everywhere. There were buildings full of bonsai. Shade cloth covered areas as large as half a football field. There were buildings made of pvc pipe type stufff and covered with plastic. This guy, Benny Kim, was not there. He was in Korea on a buying trip. The folks there said there were not any restrictions on bonsai from Korea as long as they have been held by the USDA for the whole two years. The guys watching the place told me to go anywhere I wanted, no place was off limit's and that if it didn't have a price it was not for sale. I FOUND A PRICE ON MOST EVERYTHING! My kind of nursery.

This was the plant that I wanted to take home. It was a double trunk San Jose juniper, allready bonsai pruned to a fantastic shape. This pic is poor due to the other stock behind it. I tried to fit it in my Honda but it would not fit. $550.00. I almost fell over when I saw the price. I could not believe my eyes. I decided that I better look around more since I might see something better.
