@sorce be a pal and confirm Vin's rumor when you get there?

P.S I have green hair too and can send pics, if that's what I need to do.. just sayin.
Yes the truck heads to Nature's way after Hidden Garden Bonsai.

Only 24 hrs till a 53 ft truck arrives with 100's of Yamadori! BONSAI!

All collected by Randy Knight, and selected by Walter Pall.

It feels like an early or late Christmas gift is coming!

Will follow up with photos tomorrow!

Be sure to keep up with Hidden Garden Bonsai located in Willowbrook!



It's seriously a nice place with competent people floating around.

Could one hunt and peck for cheaper bonsai and supplies?

Probably.

But you wouldn't be supporting a local commercial hub of bonsai activity. Amazon.com is not going to help you trouble shoot, board your tree, have trees right there in the flesh to check out.

I'd be rudderless if they went under.

If you would be so kind and since I have one (RMJ purchased from Nature's Way), please explain the "selected by Walter Pall" part.

Not sure I'm the right person to explain that part.

AFAIK…

  1. Randy Knight regularly collects yamadori
  2. Randy sends a truck “back East” each year
  3. Walter Pall must have had some influence on what was chosen for shipment this year (this part of it was previously unknown to me)
  4. The trees in the truck have (maybe?) been seen by Walter
It’s a bit of a tenuous connection and only this year, afaik. I’m being a little vague as I have personal, but secondhand knowledge of this.

So Mr. Pall personally looked at each tree in the truck and for lack of better words, gave his approval of the material? @Walter Pall

Quite certain thats the way of it.

I personally haven't seen, online, or in person, Trees of this Yamadori Character.

I like to think of it as ....

First, dopest dibs!:p

Hey @Vin ....

I never knew that Jennifer Price was from here, but if you look through some WP blog content, and watch a couple videos, all the dots come together as to why this is going on here.

Plus THG is a beautiful place, with great people!

Now I know I'm talking too much!

I'm nervous about robbing this truck!

Lol!

Mad excited to get there!

These things NEVER work out for me!

Now I gotta rub some feet to get hands on some "money we gotta save"....
Blah blah blah!
(patience)

Just to clarify.

Clean and straight forward.

Walter Pall picks the trees.
Sends them east.
Randy collected the trees.
Hidden garden & Nature's way receive the trees.

Here is a post to clarify for everyone.

Now back to awesome yamadori! Thank you all involved!

Even though most of the RMJs were marked as SOLD when I picked mine up, there were some fantastic yamadori examples among them. If you get there early you should be able to find a real beauty. I'll have to check out his blog a bit more.
Post a photo of you tree!

Or...



Lol!

Are you picking one up?

Can I touch it!?

I wonder how many Nuts are going to be there?

By "pick one up" I mean sleeping gas and escape plan.

Not sure if it's for the people unloading the truck or my wife if I come home with a tree.
