Actually that pine was in the middle of the pond on an island. Hella funny was looking for the first pond in Japan, and pow there was a pond in front of the airport.

lots of neat symbolism there. I love a good black pine with knarley bark. they are alot of work! Wonder if they have to get a boat in the pond to prune that baby?


many times when a bonsai is in trouble, you can fill a container with water and set it on a brick high and dry yet surrounded by evaporating moisture which helps.
