[IBC] Bonsai from 1945 Japan?
There was some mention about a bonsai tree(s) that survived the bomb,
and a website. Does anyone still have that information and/or site link? It would be much appreciated.

Hi Dusty - there are many webistes, but the NBF's is the most extensive, with fascinating photos and updates: http://www.bonsai-nbf.org/nbf/hiroshimasurvivor/ One of the survivor trees is in the collection at the National Arb, where I had the pleasure of visiting with it recently.

Grow well, Anita Northern Harford County, Maryland, USDA zone 6 So did I. In fact, Anita and I visited it together! It looked very happy and healthy. In reference to the Yama Ki pine, the one in question, I was wondering if anyone knows if the tree is a graft of white pine to a black pine trunk. I'm asking because for the first time I noticed that the trunk ends rather abruptly, almost like a broom style, and there seems to be a bit of a shoulder just below the point where the branches begin to fan out from the trunk. You don't see this when you look at the tree straight on, only if you look up into the crown. I'm curious as to how far back the practice of this type of graft goes.

Thanks so much for all your help. We were watching TV, something about
the bomb, and I mentioned the bonsai. My DH was actually quite interested so I looked & my link was gone. Hey, anytime he shows interest in what he calls my 'weed collection', I encourage it. He now knows better than to call them weeds when I'm watering tho G. We plan to build a potting shed that will also be used to winter z-6 plants in. I also may be getting a greenhouse, either a HoopHouse or a used 20'x60' a neighbor has. ----------------------------------- Walk in Beauty Traditional Facets Gemstones, Jewelry, Faceted Opals, Calligraphy & Oriental art supplies, Author of the Rendezvous Cooking series, Birthstones Through the Ages, The Runes, Gemstone & wood rune sets, Panther Tent dealer. ----------------------------------- ************************************************** ****************************** ++++Sponsored, in part, by John Quinn++++ ************************************************** ****************************** -- The IBC HOME PAGE & FAQ: http://www.internetbonsaiclub.org/ -- +++++ Questions?
