Daniel bonsaiTALK Artisan Join Date: Jul-2003 Location: Seoul Country: Korea Posts: 111	Bonsai'ing In Korea I'm in Korea now, for 6 months and I wonder how I can maximize this opportunity. I wonder about bringing trees / stock home. Can someone name some species that I should really take a look at here that I can't find back home? If I go hunting in the mountains (of which there are thousands in this country) what should I be looking for that wont be back at home (victoria BC canada, next to washington state). What about bringing these trees back to canada on the plane. Is carry-on baggage going to be a possibility? I'm most interested in what you guys would do if you were to go to South Korea on a bonsai mission.. Alright, this will be worth a lot to me. Thanks in advance team!

I no your not in taiwan but not to far away and closer than the UK or US. You'd need to check if it would survive in wherever you eventually go back to. If you do get one, get one to please! Jonny

Bonai Export. Contact me off list and I will give you his phone number. Of course it depends on where you are going in Korea. It is not really all that small )
