The drastic taper and the large scar in photo #20059 show that it has been preworked. Regards, Matt __________________ Want to be a seller on bonsaiAUCTIONS?

It looks like excellent stock but this has received treatment consistent with bonsai practices, including a significant top "chop" and reduction in the secondary branches with obvious pruning scars. I am sure this will make a fine tree but it is not appropriate for the contest. Regards, Matt __________________ Want to be a seller on bonsaiAUCTIONS?
