You know what.....
Since you brought it up again.......
I'm with you. But of Deciduous. ...
I didn't see any really good deciduous bonsai at the Show here.
Some ok ones, but mostly representations of haste, and you can almost see in the tree, where people tried to "get better" but didn't cut all the old BS off and start over.
Other than the BVF Hawthorne....
(dispatch invisibility cloaked, ham radio operated, Bonsai stealing drones)
When I imagine a Great Deciduous tree, usually it belongs to Walter Pall.
(More names in my head)
And in a few more years......
Judy's Deciduous trees too!
We simply haven't gotten over our American Haste. Curse!
I believe we are getting there.
Of these monster conifers......
Of which, I agree, do not tell OUR story.
When climate changes, because that's what earth does, and they need our water, me and Leo got the west side covered, Kennedy, our OHIO folks, Grimmy, to the east, and you in there....
What then? I ain't giving it up!
Great Lakes Side Beeeeoches!
