Apologies in advance, but I can't resist the joke.

Quote:

The word bonsai here has actually been stretched to the limit and probably broken. What you have here is not bonsai. It is a seedling in a pot, shaped into a grotesque shape, with absolutely no artistic ability, and horticulturally will possibly kill the plant due to taking away the apical tendency of the seedling.


Al, they had a simpler way of saying the same thing when I was a kid:

Yo mame so ugly her shadow done quit it's job and left town.

Cheers,
Carl

You guys are too funny.

Larry, you shouldn't ask for input if you don't intend to consider it. Stop wasting everyone's time. What you have is an ash seedling that is wired and bent over in an unnatural, and uninteresting curve. That's it.

I read your post on another forum where you were complaining about comments from some of the guys here. I suggest you either stop posting here or stop whinning. The choice is yours.
You need to decide if you really want assistance or simply compliments for your early efforts.

Gary

Dont sweat it Larry, post what ya want. If ya can take the heat and slack you get, and you learn from it, then you are better off. If we all learn by your queries and postings we are all better off.

I wont beat the dead horse, but what has been said previously (no matter how said) is good advice. Just dont post anything in a panda coffee mug and you will be alright.

Paul

Gary, i dont want compliments, just constructive criticism. And i know its an ash sedling but one that Ive been growing all last year, not one i just found and stuck in a pot.
