So, this tree has been a bonsai since the times of the feudal warlord society in Japan. I don't give a rat's @ss about how big the leaves are, but this bonsai is nothing short of a legend, and it should be considered as a national treasure, here in the US. The fact that it survived for so long
outside Japan, makes it even more impressive. The person who takes care of it every day, should be given a memo, saying "This tree, or your life".
I am going to visit the collection in a few weeks (the first time), and it will be a humbling experience to touch the tree (when nobody looks). To me, it incorporates everything that a bonsai is about.
