All--greetings, peace, and grace-- My wife put this query to me, and I had only the vaguest notion of what might be the right answer: How many bonsai trees do these people have? It was followed quickly by others (e.g., how much do their spouses/partners, etc. let THEM spend, and so forth....) But, since I'm not at all sure that I wish to fire up the discussion of how much one should be allowed to spend, let's limit it to number. How many bonsai trees do YOU have? I'll start: thirteen. And sinister plots for more, if I can only take over more of the yard....dang roses.... __________________ Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.

These are in the ground and in training pots. Actual bonsai that are developed enough to actually be in proper pots, nine. Will

Counting seedlings, cuttings, liners and trees in training planters, somewhere around 500. Soon to expand even more due to a gift of a bunch of Japanese Maple seeds and the discovery of a source for some Pines I have been looking for.

Thanks for the clarification, Vance. I should have been more specific--NOT counting seedlings, etc.--that's the number I'm after. That is, the ones actually up for being seen by anyone but their mothers....

A fun game for a garden goblin. 254 potted trees,well over 3/4 are for you know what and the others just have cool looking foliage.The neighbors have a few tropicals (about 20) that where donated aswell.I need room for more trees so they better take some more.I gave them a book and a good pot last summer, I hope they have caught the fever.LOL, I'm soooo evil. Ooops, the part about them being refined was posted while I was typing. __________________ http://gongshi.freeforums.org/index.php Last edited by RedPine : 12-Feb-2005 at 01:05 PM.

After the recent (sometimes heated) discussion threads and a lot of soulsearching,
Just two that I would actually consider showable at the moment, with two more that will be ready in a year or two.

About twenty have been in shows, and roughly half are "show" level. John __________________ John Dixon Si vis pacem parabellum Stay off the trails of others, that's where the booby-traps are.
