HI
I am Italian born and lived more than half of my life in Switzerland The main problem is that most of Italians speak poorly foreign languages mostly german or spanish and English is not very much pushed in school even if programs are excellent ( by personal experience) I follow the Italian Bonsai NG as well here, and I was wondering who were these 3 compatriots or maby 2 as I coudl be one of the3 posting here.. I know very little of the Italian Bonsai scene. In Switzerland Bonsai craze is almost over most of garden centers that had some nice stuff few years ago moved to mallsai sales but still at fairly hight price for their quality . and very little as variety .. they have mainly carmonas of Ficus or some japanese maples but just coming out of the growing fields nice trunks sometimes but all has to be built up and will be 10 years before having something nice! ( can show picture of one I just bought and that had borers ) prices mine in a garden center sort of supermaklet chain was 150$ the same in an better garden center same size. varietey . and round pot color , an soil ( pozzolana ) was 350$ up to 500$ 20 years ago when I started with Bonsai I run into some selling points in Milano and I was really astounded by the high quality and perfection of the goods they were selling .. & teh size of them .. stuff ranging from 5-6-8 k us$ Few years ago I was again in Milano at Parabiago the only amazing things were high prices for small stuff a GoyoMatsu pentaphilla in a 5 gallon plastic container about 4-5 ft tall was 800 us ..... I could have bought a cape gardenia I found near Penny Station in a small bonsai shop in NY for 55$ and the same in Parabiago was over 250$ few months later .. & same size I never have been to shows and so on ,there are so many but I have heard that the Italian Bonsai scene is quite of quality.. but I wish to see with my eyes before agree. In the last 7 years, the quality sunk, what is offered in different selling points today is in my opinion the best of what might have been considered the worse only 7 years ago .. Actually I buy stock from garden centers for 25 -35 us $ and is quite reasonable but for instance a Desojojo maple in a gallon contaner a real mess just good for the plain soil garden as bushy goes 120 -150 us$ for 4-5 ft size Theo Iris Cohen wrote: Italy which probably is the no 1 bonsai country in Europe at the moment has only three members. As far as I know, there are bonsai newsgroups in Italian, French, and Spanish. Probably others we don't hear about. Also, I believe there is at least one UK newsgroup, which would make sense, because their climate conditions, plant availability, & other considerations are quite different from ours. And believe it or not, the language is not the same. I thought I was losing it a few years ago when some Europeans in another newsgroup insisted on calling Alcis alcis an elk instead of a moose. When I protested that an elk is Cervis elephas, they said no. I forget what they call it over there.

HI Matteo there is ONLY one good valid site with excellent and competent
smiling people :-) free.it.arte.bonsai and it getting better all the time take care Theo Matteo Scarabelli wrote: The same probably goes for some of the european countries. Little Sweden with only a couple of hundred bonsai growers (and a lot less really serious about the art) have the same amount of members as Germany, and Italy wich probably is the no 1 bonsai country in europe at the moment has only three members. Hi Henrik, is Italy really no 1 country in europe about bonsai? why? About the NG: yes, there are only 3 members here, but in italy we have 2 NG: and free.it.bonsai and I know at least 30 "members" in the first one, and 15 in the second...
