Excuse me, but I know of one that doesn't, does it matter who really works on the trees, is it an ego thing. I thought it was about the trees, not who was responsible for the ownership, styling and maintance. If that is the bottom line, responsible for the results of your own trees, then I am in the wrong hobby. Can you compete with Boon, I couldn't without help.
keep it green,

Harry,
You seem to suffer under some kind of misapprehension. This is not a professional show with trees from all over. These are trees of club members, all of whom are required to take 9 half-day workshops per year just to stay in the club. Members are either required or encouraged (not sure exactly which) to keep two show-ready trees at all times. I think it becomes a requirement when members reach a certain level with their trees. That would necessitate them doing the actual work under Boon's guidance. Boon's trees in the exhibit are never judged. I don't know who you are talking about, but you should probably know the flavor of the Jello before you dive in.
Edit: That's not to say that Marco or Akio hasn't wired some of these trees from time to time.
