Wow - great nursery review, Brian - and great nursery, Jason!

Sounds like a good time.

You might be surprised at my favorite piece of material among those shown: #17314, the thin, towering ficus. If I lived in a climate where ficus was happy outdoors, I'd buy that one in a heartbeat. It is literally the first piece of material that I have seen that I could imagine being able to train in the Lingnan "towering tree" form. (For those of you who have access to Hu Yunhua's book Chinese Penjing, look at #57 and #128. The former of those two trees is Lu Xueming's "Holding up the Sky", and is now part of the Pacific Rim collection.)

With my best regards to all,
Carl
