Thanks Fred...I'll be happy anytime to swap a native for a native.
Err...tree that is
I get the most satisfaction out of my collection of native bonsai, I find that it also helps my friends and family see bonsai for what it is instead of some quasai-mystical mumbo jumbo asian thing.
"Here is a paper birch, yes mother, just like the ones in the woods here." LOL
Take care Fred.
