Read about this Bonsai collection at Lake Merrett in Oakland CA. not the 1st you would think of to see Bonsai. I had some time the other day to kill so I stopped in for a look. It was a cool overcast morning, there were no other visitors just me and a docent raking leaves. I was there about an hour, mesmerized by the size and age of these specimens. Almost makes me want to to try my hand at traditional techniques...almost

Very good quality exhibits there Ketoi. I am forever enthralled at the sight of heavy trunks which take for ever to grow in the UK.
I am told that our winters are gradually getting a tad warmer. This may grow heavier trunks at the expense of global warming.

Oh dear!

Great pics mate - thanks for popping them here.

I reckon the tree in the green pot is familiar to me, I am sure I saw it on the cover of a magazine, maybe the ABS magazine?

Cheers,
Leigh.
