Listen hero that document has been around for quite some time......it still states there will be a quarentine period...still bare root. I promise you will not produce an unknown document on how to more easily import plant species. Oh and acer buergerianum is a restricted species which means...

Exactly. Possession 9/10

Do your homework....long horn beatles on smuggled trees have cost 10's of thousands to the buyer. They/you know what you are doing. Ignorance won't save you.

Listen up September to December do the math. Same pot same tree....can't happen.

I have along with screen shots, listings and all replies from the sellers. I want to be able to more easily import quality bonsai someday. Illegally imported trees potentially carrying invasive pest/disease entering our country and decimateing our crops and forests won't help the cause. I...

Please review these from the Japanese site. These are listed under the "sold out" section. added : 29 September 2012 Kaede [a367] added : 29 September 2012 Kaede [a363] Now review these listings on eBay claiming the exact same tree was imported 15 years ago. If anyone still has questions...

This say it all.

I have nothing against "legally" imported bonsai but these are clearly not legal. As shown on the Japanese site with one being sold in September. The quarentine period is two years not a couple of months. Legal resources is not one of my shortcomings so I'm not one bit concerned about any...

You are a true Abagnale.....a genuine greased pig. You're so sharp.....I get it now you are just stupid.

You don't have a clue about what I've stated. Just look for yourself. F*ck doing the right thing....that's what it sounds like you believe in. You just want to make some stupid point about WP pictures and other crap...take a moment follow the links and open your eyes.....damned forum wizards.

I'm saying you are interested in repudiating clear photographic evidence. The similarity is not merely striking but without a doubt shows the same local environment with many noteable markers. The clear "landmarks" are impossible to ignore but hey what do I know.....

Profanity and I are good friends. Please forgive.

I highly doubt you passed a bar exam. You my friend might be touched...same tree, same background, same pedestal, same pictures on Japanese site as on eBay, listed as sold on Japanese site......either you are involved or not very coherent.....think of me what you will.

This is what was posted on the sale.....complete bullshit. 15 years for this....you need to quit bonsai! Lol. And I quote This is a japanese trident maple root over rock shohin bonsai. It was iI bought it 15 years ago and I have owned it since, I baught it directly from the bonsai nursery and...

On the sold listing is the exact trident ROR.....sold in September. I snapped screen shots and sent them to the USDA as well. Stupid is not an excuse......

Do you really think it does any good to allow this? Why do you think it's so hard to get good imports? Asses like this who bring in material that hasn't been quarantined are out of line. As for saying they've been repotted.... That's bullshit. The responses lead me to believe some are well...

Good luck with that dumb shit....even the pedestal is the same if you compare the pictures

Compare the photos...y'all are kind of slow. Step 1. review Japan Bonsai Step 2. review the listing photos Step 3. look at the background of the photos *hint (it's the same......) Step 4. scratch head.....oh shit it's not legal to import maples..... Step 5. Flame me......

Check the background......soo stupid.

These maples were illegally imported from Japan Bonsai Direct......this is the type of crap that gets everyone in deep shit. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bonsai-tree-Specimen-from-Japan-Japanese-Trident-Maple-Kotohime-momiji-/271132721469?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f20c5013d...

Not everyone needs or wants to sell. Smartass.

You have to look.

The last time I bought a group of trident trunks they were 3-8 inch caliper @ 25 per inch. These are gone now. I do see quite a few of them floating around from time to time which is kind of cool. But to answer your question, yes there are very large trunks in the ground in the USA. Just not...

Sounds like you've had a couple of boxes from Japan arrive on your doorstep......that's the way they ship em. that trident is crap. No branch structure, huge scar, poor overall design. That's a 250 starter trunk.
