[IBC] Fw: [IBC] Why I dislike Serissa
Folks,
I only joined the list a couple of weeks ago, am very new to Bonsai and my first try died so I read with great interest. I live in Australia and know nothing about serissa. How ever I thank the good Lord for them, as I have found the opposite to Richard. I find the posts very humorous. I thought it was good value for reading cheers Halrae ----- Original Message ----- From: Richard Zieminski To: Sent: Friday, April 11, 2003 9:45 PM Subject: [IBC] Why I dislike Serissa Well, looks like we have hit a hot button in this bonsai list. Serissa are an excellent tree to learn from and do make excellent uprights, forests, etc.. It is comical that a beginner who got a serissa has kept it alive, developed new ones from cuttings and has had some very positive comments from several well known artists. It appears that you are as intolerant of the serissa as we are of some of the comments on this site on other topics. To label a tree as "trash" is a pity if only that you cannot grow it well or make a Bonsai out of it. I should say the same to people who grow twigs and claim to be experts or who fail to show their trees in galleries on any site. By your standard if one cannot grow a fig, it is trash and should be thrown out. The 1,2,3,4,5,6 BS is just that too. You should be asking how did you manage to keep it alive, propagate it, etc. Obviously, one bad experience has tainted your opinion of a wonderful tree, and thus you are destroying other peoples interest in it. I for one do not discourage anyone from trying anything. They will learn from the experience. If the narrow minded want only the pines, elms, figs, junipers so be it but DO NOT insult those of us who can grow and love what you cannot. This is supposed to be a support forum the criticism is in appropriate. Great job, to the successful serissa growers.
