The image is how it looked in August of 2004.

Thank you very much!!

This may sound strange... but I take great pleasure in seeing a tree and knowing it's yours without even seeing your name.... it somehow adds order to the world for me. Don't ask me why... but you know I've always been a fan. It's actually the same feeling of recognition I get when I see a Vermeer.... even one I've never seen... because I always know his work.

Dear Ms. Vic, you are so very kind. Makes the day for this old man!

Howzit Mike,

Well Done. About how old is this tree? I really like the pot.

Thanks, Tim.
About the age of the tree, I don't really know. My best guess is 30 years plus.

Mahalo Mike.... it's a cool tree.

Here's a new and better image.

I like it!!!

Howzit Mike,

Looking good! If I may ask, where can I find that type of wooden stand you have? I'm looking for that type for a tree that I might display at the Maui County fair.

Most of my slabs came from vendors at conventions I've attended over the years. If you google "bonsai display slabs", you will find sources, such as the link below.

How about the bonsai clubs on your side of the pond? Somebody must know of a source.

Mahalo for the information Mike,

Not really.... here on Maui bonsai is not as big as it is on Oahu and the Big Island. They have one show and it's in September at the Maui County fair. Other then that you would have to go to the outer islands to see good works. Mostly all my inspirations comes from forums and websites.
