The logic is sound. Where the problem lies is drawing a conclusion with incomplete data. Something your buddy Vance is doing by pretending the know the motives of the mysterious individual that found the story in the first place. But thanks for clearing that up. Good luck with the finance...

Now that's funny. Since we're playing "jump to conclusions" all over the place, I'll offer my own conclusion. For someone as litigious as Mr. Heath, wouldn't it stand to reason that he would have threatened legal action against the original author and asked for the story to be removed...

Thanks for the links, Harry. I had heard the stories, but always 4th or 5th hand, and never with much detail. It's good to see the story in print.

That's too bad. I miss Andy. I enjoyed his writing and contributions

Thanks Bill. I'll try to remember to send Paul an email this evening. Though, I'm not sure if I'll have the time to commit to another project. I was more curious than anything as I would have thought Andy Rutledge would have been the logical choice. Didn't he make the initial design? Oh...

I'm with you Irene. People can be sympathetic and understanding. However, silence breeds mistrust. It wasn't until after I posted my experience publicly with my own problems with AoB/Kob store that Will mentioned any personal problems. During our private exchanges nothing of the sort was...

Will, what are you looking for with CSS knowledge? Redoing the site?

think of the leverage you could get with these!

What is your main goal at this stage? For trees in development it's not unusual to let them grow out, cut back, grow out, cut back, an repeat for several years. Without photos and more detail as to what you're trying to achieve it's difficult to provide an answer. Removing or reducing the...

Photo can be found here, http://bonsaijournal.com/worlds-2-deciduous.php I believe, if I'm not mistaken, they are from the garden of Ooishi, http://bonsaitonight.com/2009/08/06/ooishis-deciduous-work/

One shop closed after the owner passed away, and another closed after receiving no support from the local club (no sales). You may want to contact the club president, sometimes they have some items for sale.

Good one, Harry. In addition to the Bonsai Smiths, Timothy Phan and Peter Tea are both quite talented.

Since it was brought up recently, I thought I would start a separate thread for others to post pictures and opinions of those in North American that are good with Japanese Black Pine. I have lots of pictures of Boon and his work. I've seen Kathy Shaner's work at the Collection North and a...

I believe he was asking for advice on the care of JBP and I offered Boon's DVDs as a source, with my personal comment attached. I'll be sure to get your approval before posting next time. Good luck in Hanford. Always a pleasure.

Read it again, Al. "Perhaps" the best. Obviously opinions may vary. I'll be sure to choose my words more carefully next time. Take care.

Don't forget Boon, perhaps the best with JBP in North America. Check out his DVDs, http://www.bonsaiboon.com/pages/shopping.html

The pots from Japan (and Wee Tree) are high fired, don't wick water, and are less likely to crack than the normal terra cotta pots from garden centers. That said, if protected from hard freezes they can (and from experience do) last longer.

I would say air layer off a larger tree. Hard to get a thick trunk without thick roots, thick branches, and/or chop scars otherwise.

I think we learned that 4 lefts make a circle. :)

Jonas had a humorous post on this, too. http://bonsaitonight.com/2009/12/01/unwanted-moss-or-nomotos-paradox/

Tom, Lichen is desireable, moss is not. For moss I water the tree thoroughly then brush on (small paint brush or acid/paste brush) a solution of 50/50 vinegar and water. That will usually kill the moss, but I've found that it continues to return. Use a pair of angled tweezers to clean/remove...

My apologies, I was going from memory. Here's what I have been using, http://www.cooperseeds.com/images/grit.jpg. I thought I remembered somewhere on the bag it read "DG", but could be wrong. Either way, here's some more info on the stuff...

I don't want to debate or dispute either, but I will offer my experience. I've been using the "Boon Mix" in central KY since I met and began studying with him several years ago. The Lava is trucked in by the pallet from Colorado by our club. Bags are pretty inexpensive and the club even makes...

They show a pattern of exactly what this thread is about. Please read again, and do try to stay on subject.

I've reposted the above from this thread since my question went unanswered. Is there not room for everyone in bonsai, participating in the way they choose? The collectors, whether they use shovels or money play a vital role, don't they? Should they be discourage (when done legally, of...
