Treebeard I did not mean to imply that you did not know what you are doing around a nursery, your gallery entrys prove your competance. My comments were meant to be for those who, by their actions, know who I am talking about, the old if the shoe fits wear it syndrom. But my point still remains firm in my mind, if it were not for the garden centers most of my material would be unavailable and therefore only existing in my imagination. When I was young most of my trees were harvested from the mountians of Northern California. Now that I am older and no where near California my harvesting comes from the nurseries. Some might say I will, because of my sources, never have a real world class bonsai. That may be true, and I really don't worry much about that, I grow bonsai to please myself. I am occassionally rewarded by people that think my trees are beautiful in their eyes.
