Interesting quandry: When we are developing trees, we
wnat to get there quickly, but when we get there we
want the trees to go into a growth holding pattern.

I have a Kinsville Box that just sits there. It has
sat there now for about 10-15 years in a 10 gallon
can, super fed underfed, no difference. If its
growing at all, its got me fooled. Some day perhaps,
I will bite the bullet and admit that as a bonsai,
this one will be best at 3 inches.

I feed everybody as aggressively as possible, except
for a few full-grown
specimens. After comparing pictures and
descriptions, I suspect my little one is
'Kishu Shimpaku,' which is fine with me.
