They had more pre bonsai outside than I have ever seen there. The JBP selection (that I can afford) is way down from what it was a few years ago, but hundreds of maples in pots and many others. They are clearing land to add more outside trees!
The trees that I really wanted were out of my price range and I thought, hey just don't buy any this trip, save your money a couple of trips and then you can afford it. Which is really what I should do, but I feel I am still not experienced enough for an expensive tree that someone has invested time in and there is a good chance it may die under my care. Kind of like buying an expensive painting, taking it home and add my touch to it even though I have no talent in painting. Plus, after I drive 6 hours, I am buying something!
Hope you Enjoy the pictures.
