The 2 shown in this thread appear to be Japanese imports, grown for many years to develope the trunks. In Japan they were a separate from bonsai, potted plant culture for about 300 years. I believe it was called "Meika". The shape was like Marge Simpsons hair, LOL. In the early 1900s they started makeing a crossover into bonsai but the other culture still exists as well. Hope this helps, Bob O

Posts: 301	Hi Guys, Satsukes like the 3 large ones shown in this thread are probably imports, grown for many years developeing the trunks. They began entering bonsai culture in the early 1900s. They were grown in a separate potted plant culture in Japan. I believe it is called "Meika". The shape was developed to maximize show of blooms and kind of looks like Marge Simpson's hair. LOL Hope this helps, Bob O
