A closeup of some of the stock Rips is growing out there on the south fourty. This is a small olive about 2" tall. That trunk is about 1 1/2" across at the base.
We had a blast at the nursery today. Lots of our bonsai friends came by for a look see, and some people that stopped by just to see what all the commotion was about. The owner of the nursery had a great day, Anthony himself dropped about a grand there today. He bought a whole pallett of akadama. I got to see what he needs all this soil for? I bought a large olive for a project tree this year, more Sara Rayner pots, and other stuff. In the last 60 days I have spent well over 1000.00 there. Glenn spent about 500.00 there the last few weeks, and Bill spent some good dollars on a 3 foot tall cascade stand! I have to see what he is going to put on this!!!
The owner was very appreciative of all our effforts and we decided to do this more then once a year. We have decided that we want to do a bare bones winter show for all the twiggy detail.
Thanks for spending some time here, Bonsai-al
