About 50 % are collected by me, The other ones ar traded in or purchased. Every one is made by myself. I do not acquire finished trees.

So many beautiful trees! How does your wife feel about giving up the garden to these beautiful living sculptures?

I want to know how one person can truly enjoy this many outstanding trees? Don't they become just another tree on the bench to you? I hope they are all displayed in a public garden some day. Outstanding collection and you have some of my favorites.

@Walter Pall is this part of a bonsai, or a regular vine hanging down somewhere in the garden?

This hangs off a large tree which it has invaded. It used to be a bonsai about 25 years agol. Or alt least it was meant to become a bonsai. I got it from Bill Valavanais.

Nice but i think I'll prefer 20 crappie photos of your garden than one very good photo...

I do not have a pest contor program other than to strenghten the immune system of my trees as far as I can. I strenghten them and try to not weaken them. No pinching, no superfluous repotting, watering a lot (all with a garden hose in 40 minutes per day), feeding a lot and giving them as much sunlight as possible, and love.

Thank you for so freely sharing with us the true secret and giving inspirations. One of your trees was very close to a vision I had but could not imagine what the mature vision could be.
