Hello all,
Thought I'd post a recent pic of my Shohin Acer palmatum 'Shishigashira' that I purchased from Don Blackmond at Gregory Beach Bonsai on Feb 9th, 2009. When she is in leaf she is spectacular. She is a real slow grower with extremely short nodes. I love the pooling/puddling that is happening at the nebari over the last 3 years. When it is dryer you can see rings that are being formed. The impression is that the trunk is melting into the pot. I am very pleased.
