    What's the most expensive tree you have killed?

    A $1750 white pine that was being benched over the winter by bonsai professional in Portland a few years ago. A cold windy night hit my white pine and a beautiful refined elm. They were my two best trees....I still mourn those trees....still in therapy :-(

    What bonsai things would you have done differently had you known?

    Done differently? I would have chosen a bonsai instructor who knew how to teach. Mine was an apprentice in Japan and good artist. However, I learned very little from him. Also had a weird laugh. Live and learn.

    Mirai tree sale

    Mirai screwed up and did a terrible job managing the release of the trees available for sale last year....who knows whether they fixed the problem or not so it may be worth checking in early. Best trees were gone when the official time started.

    Ryan Neil

    I don't come to this site much (2017?) but you asked about my impression of ryan neil's arrogance. I met with him a few years ago for a quick coffee in Portland and I felt like I was a bother to him. That he wanted to be someplace else than speaking to someone trying to build a relationship to...

    Princess persimmon - going for big bucks...

    Yes, that was my question in the auction. I was not going to bid unless I saw a pic with actual fruit on the tree and a male that I could purchase to go with the tree. Nice shohin but I was not going to blindly bid without answers.

    Bonsai Mirai email

    He has come a long way presenting on his videos. His Q&A's are a more informal and have a natural flow to his responses. However, his formal video presentations are sometimes difficult to watch. He has some pet words like "totality" that he uses instead of "uh, um, etc". He has a lot of...

    Congrats on your program, however, I think you are going to wish you used the cutting method in the long run. It takes longer for them to develop but the results are better. Good luck...looking forward to see these develop.

    Is Bonsai Mirai Live Worth $300/year?

    I'm a tier 3 member of mirai. Content is good but he does tend to repeat himself (drone) on certain things. I wait for the archives after they have been posted because of network issues. I've captured the network data requested by kendell but no resolution to the problem. Not a real issue...

    Is Bonsai Mirai Live Worth $300/year?

    Value?: I agree 100% with your points on Tier 3 and the different sessions. Many questions are very basic and have been asked in one form or another again and again. Its getting tougher to send in a question and get an answer. There are a few T3 members who seem to monopolize the Q&A. I'm...
