WOW!!! Those are some nice trunks. Your gonna have some styling to do in the next few seasons.

Gee, it looks like a serious case of bougainvillea overdose. I hope you can sell them at a decent price. Hawaii seems like a small market for bonsai.

I am stumped.

thanks wood.
lots of quality material to practice carving and styling on. the experience is invaluable. in just a short while we are going to have some amazing trees.

attila:
considering how isolated we are, the interest has been surprising

Me thinks you have reached the top and have leaped over the other side...... Sometimes there really is such a thing as too much of a good thing................

 

[sam]

haven't found that to be true yet, and I'm well into the 70's

best wishes, sam

Wow, Sam.Where do these bouganvilla come from?Friends,field,hedge, yard,prepared?

 

[mersino]

willing to part? fair price?

 

[sam]

these (68) came from a hedge planted in 1982. stumps around 30 years old.

 

[Si Nguyen]

The stumps are fantastic! Good luck finding good homes for them. Your lawn is very nice too!

 

[sam]

thanks, si. we're sharing these with others on a limited basis-preferring to retain the majority for development. this was a once in a lifetime collection opportunity, so we need to be mindful of that in our disposal plan.

best wishes, sam
