Why gee, Orn, thanks! Hope to see you again, soon.

Attila, thanks for the tip. I wonder if growth slows down after a few years. Also, do you think there are any negatives for Bonsai associated with ultra-fast growth? Is the wood softer? Does it matter? Does it result in internodes being too long? Once again, does it matter if you're planning to chop the trunk anyway?

I find that no matter how big your bed is or how many you have, it's incredibly easy to fill them up with bargains from Lowe's and Walmart, trees recovering from potting misadventures, collected trees and new seedlings. Can you comment on spacing trees in your growbed. Do you plant them pretty closely, figuring that you'll chop the trunks anyway or do you try to give your trees enough space for considerable branch development?
