U.S. donates bonsai to Japan

[rockm]

I forgot about the American bonsai that was a diplomatic gift to Japan back in '99. Whatever happened to Ernie Kuo?

Thats cool. Thanks.
Is that a typo on the first page? Right side of page, "White Horse" instead of White House.... Funny

I can't help myself. I hope the two trees Clinton received had Big Fat trunks.

Cool. I'd like to see how the California juniper looks now.

Mark, I transported 2 trees that Ernie donated to the Arboretum in DC a couple of years ago. He was retiring from his job, downsizing his collection and moving to Sanfrancisco to be close to his grandkids.

Miss him online. He was a groundbreaker for many things bonsai.

You post jarred my memory--Aarin Packard, (now curator of the Pacific Bonsai Museum) posted about those trees (and you) back in 2012.

Yes Ernie is one of the great ones like a few more that doesn't enjoy certain aspects of the forum scene.
