[IBC] The generosity of bonsaiest.
I am at the computer, pondering how generous bonsaiests (sp?) are. Since I
had to leave my trees behind for my move (second time in three years!), I wanted to rebuild. I was looking for ficus nerifolia in New Zealand, and this tree is not in this country. While I am angling to do a few natives, I really do like f.nerifolia and would have liked to have a couple of those. shrug In the course of my enquiries, I came accross someone who had also recently moved to New Zealand and had imported some trees and gotten them through the MAF quarantine (MAF=powers that be on all things animal and vegetal that come in the country). He didn't have f.nerifolia, but coming from South Africa, he offered ficus natalensis. I just picked up a highly generous gift from him, of two f. natalensis, including one with a 2" trunk! he even apologised that I'd have to develop branches on it. And one small Lonicera (Box honey suckle?). And I am reminded of the generosity of other folks, many members on this list. Guys and gals, thank you. I only hope I can pass it onward to someone else at some point. The bigger ficus was grown in the ground and had a root 98% ripped off the trunk. I cleaned it up a little and planted it, it just might sprout green and push roots, and I'd end up with a nice mame next year or the following one. Cheers y'all Nic ************************************************** ****************************** ++++Sponsored, in part, by Gregory Brenden++++ ************************************************** ****************************** -- The IBC HOME PAGE & FAQ: http://www.internetbonsaiclub.org/ -- +++++ Questions?

I've been saying that for years. Halos aren't in short supply among bonsaiests. Jim Lewis - - Tallahassee, FL - Nature encourages no looseness, pardons no errors.
