Shinji as tranlated by Hideko:
"This is a deciduous tree with very feminine features.
The pot is nice and has a color that would be very good for all seasons.
Things to change: absolutly nothing. Shinji went on to tell a story of a tree in his childhood that looked exactly like this hackberry. "It had a very large crown on a rather slim trunk." He enjoyed playing in its branches. This tree stirred emotions of childhood. "This is exactly what a tree is supposed to do. A tree does not have to be perfect, just stir emotion" (sorry guys and gals)
