Hi Scott,
When I first saw this thread I was thinking. Com'n show us some individual trees
Looked very active still and came back for a very pleasant surprise. Great pics
The quality just keeps getting better and better in Japan. Will we ever catch them I doubt it in my life time. As I saw you and maybe others mention the best I can hope for is to leave a few trees that are good enough that others will take them over when I am gone.
I am still not giving up that there is a chance I will live forever and can continue to care for my own trees though
Loved the pics and I did not know you could do a two week stay at a nursery the misses might even let me get away with that one day

It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.

Hey Luke308, I just checked and the plaque means important bonsai masterpiece. I noticed there were a few of these at the show.
Bretts, I would highly recommend the trip. I'm certain I'll be going back!
