Great article Al. Keep us updated on these trees progress. I am also curious as to whether the large California Juniper that Doyle Saito collected will survive. It looks like it had a fair amount of roots removed.
Best wishes,
Charles
P.S.- I have that calander too
. Mr. Saburo Kato gave everyone this calander along with a copy of last year's Taikan-ten book when we visited his nursery.
