Harry,
Apparently you have misinterpreted me, deliberately or otherwise. I'm not happy it came to this. Guess what, I have other interests besides bonsai, I too own guns, cars and motorcycles. I do woodworking, silversmithing and general gardening, among other things. I even watch the occasional football game. I learned long ago, however, that very little is accomplished when friends discuss either politics or religion, it does nothing but drive us apart.
now lets see a few of your trees, instead of your opinions,
Putting aside the irony of that statement, perhaps I will. Bear in mind though that I do not purchase the same quality of trees that you do, not a swipe at you, just being honest.
