I don't know about the winner or loser, but I would have loved to be a bee on a tree to watch the activities of the three of you.
I would think the audience got their money's worth!!!!

I think that ron won personally. You never see a trunk on a brazillian raintree like alan's so I don't think that is very good. And Dick's seemed to look like a piece of driftwood stuck between a raft style juniper. Your's is the only one that looks realistic ron.

Just a question for Carl and Ron. Carl said that jim started that brazillian from a seed in 1989, which I doubt considering it has been in a bonsai pot its entire life. So did Carl have a typo or is this correct? Welll thats not really the question. If you look on Jim Smith's website he has a brazillian raintree that started its training in 1979. Does that mean that Jim Smith had brazillian raintree seeds before Jim Moody or did Carl have a typo?

Not sure if he had a typo or not but I know both Jim's. They are the best friends. Jim Smith was the first one to tell me that Jim Moody was the one who introduce the raintree to the US.
I do think that Jim Smith's raintree was one of the original cuttings off Jim Moody's tree. Helen Souder got another one of them. My oldest raintree is from the first crop of seeds from Moody's tree. Several years ago Randy Clark wrote a book called Masterpieces of Bonsai. The copyright date on that was 1989. In there is a picture of Moody's raintree. In that picture there is a fully matured raintree owned by Jim Moody. It has to be at least 20 years old when that picture was taken. That raintree of mine that you saw last weekend is about 15 years old. Compare that to the Granddaddy that you saw there. How old do you think it is. But I will check with both of them to get the real answer. Last edited by Ron Martin : 23-Sep-2003 at 10:26 PM. |

I will ask jim tomorrow when I see him. I would imagine that it was started around late 1960's early 1970's.

Hi, Ron. That's wishful thinking! Everyone is judged.... all the time. Having said that, I think you are all winners. Question: Was Alan's a texas ebony or Brazilian Rain Tree? I'm intrigued by the idea of doing this with tropicals... I have this neat buttonwood stump... Regards, Bart |
