They don't usually tell you in the major bonsai books. Do you know Walter? or anyone? __________________ "And the LORD God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground-trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food." - Genesis 2:9

I use a lot of peat in it. best regards Walter Pall Last edited by Walter_Pall : 16-Mar-2004 at 01:05 PM.

I think this hibiscus has been growing for about 20 years. __________________ "And the LORD God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground-trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food." - Genesis 2:9
