It seems that we all have diversified answers, and I am no different. I was never influenced by Asian Culture, all though as an artist I love their art.
Almost twenty years before I started into the addiction of Bonsai, my wife and I were at Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania. I walked into the Bonsai room and I was thunderstruck by the trees on display. I never forgot them
Zipping forward twenty years, my wife and I attended the Philadelphia Flower show, and we ended up in the commercial section. My wife saw a small Fukien Tea and asked if she could purchase it for me. I hastily agreeds and that was the start.
It is now, about 7 years later, and I still have that tree.
I had never grown anything but a few Cactus prior to obtaining my first tree. That was the beginning of a wonderful education, not only in Horticulture, but in this addiction, we call Bonsai.
