Although I have NEVER seen an exceptional Pinus strobus bonsai. They simply do not have enough of the desirable characteristics. However, they are excellent for the purpose of pushing your skills to the limit.


I'll take what you say seriously, Michael, because I know you had (or still have) at least one Pinus strobus that you have worked on for some time. Never discount the possibility of a first!

Thinking of exceptional, does every tree have to be exceptional, though? Just a thought.
