Harry you are going to have to start drinking a cheaper scotch, w/ 2 trees (at least) that he has worked on in Kokufu Ten, Marco could be raising his prices.

I think it's huge that a tree from here(US) has made it into the competition.

I'll just have to reduce my collection, mother nature's helping me anyway. Who's tree was entered ? I hope they can bring it home.

keep it green,

Mr Paul's., bringing it back didn't occur to me, hope it did for him . Kind of suck to have to have that quarantined for 2 years, and barerooted.

Heat getting to the trees?

Actually, Doug Paul is the first American to exhibit a tree at Kokufu-ten. The Bonsai, is or was, a Japanese tree. Bonsai at Kokufu are displayed in the owners name not the Artists.

It's not helping any !

Which tree is his ?

Understand that Mark, the thought is if he owns it can it come home to the US, and if so would it be barerooted/quarantined.

Harry it's way down the page, I'll check it again and give directions.
