Default [IBC] Fw: growth retardant

iwould have to agree with Nina as there are no short
cuts in bonsai.

Hey, it's my turn to be stupid for three minutes:
bonsai masters, is it really slow growth that we
want in bonsai? In my experience (15 years of being
a newbie!), the fast growing trees are the ones you
can really train. Slow growing ones (like my
mountain hemlock), I had to simply try not to ruin
too much. So I'm thinking that a growth retardant
isn't very useful in bonsai. Whatcha think?
