Dick I am also into bonsai but in a small way. Yes import regs can change at any minute like we experience in the beef and ruminant industry here in Canada. It can be real or imagined so we have to take the good with the bad. This new disease in Japan is an example. We may feel it is a threat to native or domestic fish stocks which it is and not allow them in. It could go that way. In Japan they are very concerned about it. Bonsai could carry some disease or pest like the golden nematode and bango no more imports. I suppose you could get around some of these concerns with soiless culture.
I have been growing bonsai that do well in the house and I have a few minor and mega bonsai in my fields. I have a very large Scots pine that is very twisted and neat that I have had for many years. I started it as a seedling in about 1976.
