Al; I guess that you had to have been there but I will do my best. The root structure was just under the soil and Ted was assuming that what he could see was the only choice. When I uncovered the structure that was there he was pleased to show me some other posibilities. We looked at three trees that I had brought with me. I potted an olive and an elm. The third was a twisted pomegranate. Ted liked this tree enough to take it home.
The experiance with Ted was over all a very positive one. I asked him to cretique the material from my aspect as a grower. His sumation was this "When I am looking for plant material to conduct work shop's this is what I want to see." He asked me if I had more like the olive, when I assured him that I did have more he asked if he could reserve enough plants to do five workshops. I asked how many plants per workshop and he indicated 10 to 12. We are working out the details.
