I have, however, been told by a friendly bonsai nursery owner to go find something better when I tried to buy a poor stock.

Thanks.


When I am doing a workshop I always try to remember that I am just an employee. And as such I need to bite my tongue a bit. I can't lie to them but I must be a good politician.
Most of the time though I do supply the material for the workshops ( and ALWAYS for any demo). And naturally I won't bring anything that does not have potential.
Preparation is always better than a tap dance.
