I was at my local garden centre which sells a number of bonsai. Mostly mallsai, but the occasional very nice tree, since they are supplied by a bonsai grower/importer who knows his stuff.

This was almost 3 years ago. I was contemplating buying a fukien tea, which at the time was my biggest investment in a bonsai. Then a small boy, maybe 5 years old, walked up holding his daddy's hand.

The child stopped and pointed at the F.Tea., and said, "Ooooh, Daddy, that one looks like a REAL TREE!"

So I bought it. His uninformed and innocent "critique" was enough to persuade me.
