I have now posted details of my experience here: http://bonsainut.com/forums/showthread.php?7521-Marc-Torppa-Marc-Torpa-Mark-Torppa-Mark-Torpa-the-Growing-Grounds-AVOID

Please pardon the multiple spellings, but I want to be damn sure that the next person who looks for a review of this guy will find one, no matter how they spell or misspell his name. There is a very informative thread on bonsainut here...

Wow. I wish I had checked this thread before now--I hadn't visited bonsainut for a while and forgot to look for information here. My experiences with Marc Torppa @ the Growing Grounds appear to have matched everyone else’s, with the only difference being that I don’t actually have the tree I...

Didn't even know I could do it! Not even sure I'm responding to this message properly, but here goes.

The trunk looks interesting rather than ill from here, at least from what little I can see. Maybe someone with more experience will weigh in for you, too. Could you get us a closer picture now that there is a more clear view of the trunk? Looks like it could be a promising little tree once...

I have no useful suggestions whatsoever, but I thought I would post a very old stump I dug up from my new house. It was a large overgrown mess falling into the driveway when I bought the house in late 2008. I cut it back and wrestled it out of the ground in early 2009. I left all the trunk...

Nice one, SK, I love it...it's hard to tell from the photo, but is that second branch up on the left too heavy to stay, or will you be able to work it into the design?

I think the second front provides a much better view of the spider...
