Is it common for enthusiasts to purchase trees without seeing them? Or
at least viewing photos? I have never done this and I am just
wondering.

Maybe this post is in reference to ebay type auctions where you see a
"sample" and get a different tree?

Thanks,

Matt


Sometimes Bonsai are purchased based upon photographs. What Michael
is warning about is that in a photograph you can't really see the graft on a
pine for example and a poor graft will never be right.
