Re: NBPCA $5000 Native Bonsai AQcquisition Prize
I see no problem with changes to any bonsai. Many of my trees change over time. If I can see a better tree hiding in any of my bonsai I would not hesitate to make the changes.
Bonsai do change. Maybe even should change over time.

That's a nice way of looking at it Matt.Matthew wrote:I always see myself as merely a custodian of my trees . Yes i've grown some , styled many and tried to keep them in a healthy state but when a tree moves on i'm no longer the carer . If the new owner decides to restyle it etc to there liking that's totally up to them as they are now the custodians. Many of my trees have been through several carers over time.Cedric wrote:Entrants should consider how they will feel once their tree gets changed after the collection acquires it. The centenery juniper that was bought a few years ago now looks different to what was purchased.
That's the downside of the cash - your baby ends up looking different because whoever holds the scissors has a different idea of what a good bonsai looks like to you. If you are going to be upset, keep your treasure on your bench.

OK thanks Leigh, some one out there must know though as wasn't the winner to be announced at the Gala Cocktail night on the 31st,so it looks like it must be announced thru the proper channels
