40 years of growing JWP

[Bob Hunter]

These pines were imported in 1984 major cuts all around 2010-2012

Wow, 40 years. Fantastic looking trees, what an inspiration!

You know you're getting old when you think "Ah man, the 1980 were like 25 years ago!"
Nice trees!

You're really getting old when you realize 1980's was 40 years ago....

These trees are amazing 'in person'

Wow. Maybe a controversial take, bit I think JWP looks far better than JBP in bonsai. The 5 needles and shorter length of needles just looks so much more natural. Awesome trees!

 

[Colorado]

Wow!!! What an amazing tree!

Fabulous trees!!!

Nice to meet you at the workshop, Bob. Your tree is wonderful- I feel lucky to have seen it in person.

Very cool. Who are the people that grew and made these beauties? Are they still alive? And do you aspire to create trees similar to these?

I was referring to the imported ones you bought! If you’re 40 now, you might have another 40 years!

I was referring to the imported ones you bought!

I bought them off the back of a truck that just arrived from Japan

If you’re 40 now, you might have another 40 years!

another 40 years I will be 104........
