Our largest grocery store chain this morning advertised:

"Cabernet Grape Bonsai -- Unique Bonsai Plant Grown in the
California Wine Growing Region - $15.99"

Haven't seen them yet. Will report back (unless Billy or someone
else beats me to Publix).

Yeah, I'm beginning to get queries on my website about these- from
people keeping them indoors on their coffee tables. I tell them to
put them outside.

My local grocery store hauled out some juniper mallsai this week- I
was too demoralized to talk to the manager.

I was only in two different Publix stores today here on the Space Coast and
didn't see them, but then I wasn't looking.

I think they are the "last minute" or "impulse" gift for the father who
has everything. I especially think some daughters feel their fathers need a
nice hobby and Bonsai might be it.

This plant makes good wine, but only in very little bottles.

I bought one of them early this spring. Interesting bark and trunk. Seems
to be doing OK now that the weather is warming up. Will need winter
protection in zone 7.
