Posts: 1,260	Names of trees in Japanese G'day Folks, Suddenly I find myself adding the Japanese names of trees into my tree register, that is when I come across them, so now I am on the hunt for finding a list of tree names, like for instance: Botanical..Common..Japanese, or in any turn-about order. Please, does anyone know of an URL or two where I might find this valueable information. Many thanks in advance....Nigel __________________ http://pictures.bonsaitalk.com/user/ozzerbon http://www.flickr.com/photos/ozzerbon/

I do not know of a website that you are asking for. But I ask myself why not French German, Russian, Chinese etc. names. Bonsai is not a Japanese artform. Bonsai is international. Why would you bother may I ask? __________________ best regards Walter Pall CD now available online http://walter-pall.de/cdavailable2.jpg.dir/index.html http://walter-pall.de http://walter-pall-bonsai.blogspot.com/ Last edited by Walter_Pall : 10-Jun-2005 at 01:38 AM.

Hello Walter,

The answer is simple, I have many pics in my fast growing collection that carry Japanese names only, and I should like to know the International botanical name.
Of course I must agree with you about bonsai being international.

Regards,

Nigel
