ok just to throw in my 2 cents.
I work for a wholesale grower who sells to not only retail nurseries but bonsai nurseries which no names will be mentioned. The retail nurseries only want the best quality plants for obvious reasons. The bonsai nurseries however want anything that has an "unhealthy" side to it or an "ill formed" side to it, which makes it easier for them to spend almost no time on the stock to call it "bonsai" and mark it up sometimes 3 times as much as the more healthy stock we shipped to a retail nursery right down the street. So I know where I go looking for stock. As for Rons comments about the kind of bonsai coming from the trash pile; when will one learn to just keep his mouth shut sometimes! Not everyone that posts on this forum has the funds to be able to buy the best quality stock or even want to. I have seen alot of nice trees in the gallerys that I would bet alot of them came from either trash or from cheap stock as for your gallery mister martin nothing impressed me enough to justify all your bad mouthing. My gallery yeah its empty but I dont try to tell people how their tree needs to be grown to fit the ron martin standard.
Sorry if I affend anyone but hey I just had to let it out
