Hey all,

Wanted to let you all know that the WBFF (World Bonsai Friendship
Federation) has just published a wonderful article about the history of
shimpaku junipers in Japan.

Please have a look at

Kind regards,

Thanks for letting us know, Andy. It's amazing how quickly these junipers were
stripped off the mountains. Can any comparison be drawn between this story and the
collection of specimens out west? I already hear Jim Lewis emphatically nodding
his head!
