Hello Men,

I usually don't but this time I will...

Treebay,

As usually nailed it with a practical tutorial. Saved me a half hour of two fingered plunking, thanks!

Walter,

I feel your pain. I can relate to the monthly torture of telling students that their little nursery find is "Not good bonsai material" It is so sad and wastful. Seen some here too.
I commend you for better spelling and grammer than many native english speakers.

Al,

Keep on preaching lots are listening.

But...

I have to support some points of Fred the L. There is room for both sides. We all know that especialy in Japan there are propagators, growers, field cultivators, People who pot and market, Auctioneers and middlemen, masters who cherry pick the best and collectors that support them. They are all pieces of the puzzle.

AND, SOMEBODY HAS GOT TO GROW THE STUFF! MAKES MORE CHOICES FOR THE REST OF US AND OUR ANCESTORS!

Let the Freds have there Fun with twigs, it's his right.

"Undeniable bonsai truths"

1. Beginners will make dumb choices buying starter stock.

2. Advanced will roll their eyes when they see said stock and wonder how to politely tell them of the dumbness

3. Lots of guys like to propagate

4. Some advanced see time slipping away and consider seeds cuttings and layers as a waste.

5. But, All parts of the bonsai world are important. No one should be shut out or up.
