I have to agree with you Leigh. If we were not doing other things on our property Accommodation, Tai Chi, Martial Arts Etc and if my wife was not working we could never make a go of it. I think the only successful ones are the big importers. Good luck Lee with whatever new adventures may come your way.Leigh Taafe wrote:Seems we are all closing down! Its a tough game thats for sure. I have found that it is hard to keep the customers happy with prices, and then when you go out of your way to give good prices, you seem to put other people off side.
Cheers Lee and good luck. I too am looking forward to freeing time to work on my own collection.

Re: Bonsai Artistree closing down
leong is putting down less trees and not letting them get as old and if they are he is selling them styled try to get your hands on one like mine from his first batch very hard and exspensive impossible up here i got the last one i know of and it was $650
but they are the best stock around
and jamie that looks like a white needles are tiny and light it would keel over as soon as it crossed the border but we can wish

Re: Bonsai Artistree closing down
