Yes, it pays to read all the words in life. That way you don't get stuck with what we call a "balloon payment"Well I completely missed this part of the original post. I guess there is my answer.

Wow, Al, I expected more than this from you! I think you’re losing your wit!Subjective opinion.....

Why did you bring up hedging...I never brought up hedging...probably guilt?Wow, Al, I expected more than this from you! I think you’re losing your wit!
No hedging has been performed on that olive. Please do not infer that I am a follower of Walter Pall!
That was the 19th BIB show, Al! You couldn’t have been going for 20 years! Kirby’s JWP was there. You can’t comlain about that one!At this rate I'll crack 9800 by morning.
Maybe I could start a thread about the 2018 BIB exhibit.....that would be a hoot! I think I came home with 7 pictures. That was the only seven good trees in the exhibit and I been going to that for 20 years. What the hell happened!!!!
I moved into this current house in August of 97, in fact we got the TV hooked up and watched as princess Di was killed. I thought I remembered going to the first BIB show that first Jan in 98. But why quibble over 1 year I can say I was there!That was the 19th BIB show, Al! You couldn’t have been going for 20 years! Kirby’s JWP was there. You can’t comlain about that one!
Next year will be the 20th show. I expect the BIB members will be bringing out their Sunday best! You can’t show the same tree two years in a row at BIB.
What do you mean by this?
Well, I’m sorry you didn’t like the show. And forgive me, I’ve never paid attention to the orientation of the rooms. I guess the North room is the one on the left as you enter? Where the smaller trees are?I looked thru my files and didn't even make a folder for this years exhibit. That's how poor the showing was......
Are you saying I trained my pine to look like a Trident Maple?
No... I'm saying that we have trees very similar in shape to nothing in nature....Are you saying I trained my pine to look like a Trident Maple?
We are talking about trees right?I look at all the new posts each night and all I see are threads about cuttings, little tiny trees from mail order houses. Scrawny trees dug up from the woods, fruit trees with trunks barely 1/2 inch across.
Now please use common sense and only post replies that have to do with "bonsai". You know, trees that are well established and fit the definition of what bonsai is. Ramified branches that are well defined. Residing in a bonsai pot and ready to be displayed in an exhibit. I understand that people may have smaller trees that are being grown out and even starters in 4 inch cups. That's not what I'm interested in. I just see a trend here and would like to see how this breaks out.
If you only have one tree that is 2 inches across, thats OK.
