Shouts Out Dave!

My bonsai teacher and friend, David Fortune, just got through digging up some of my Japanese maple stock back home. Spring has finally arrived for the folks in Lincoln. I'm looking forward to working on this stock, but I may have to part with some of it as well. A majority of the trees have already been in bonsai containers. I've got several large Arakawa's, a Sango Kaku, Tobiosho, Yurihime, Seiryu, and a dissectum of some kind that I bought dormant under the false label of a Kiyohime. None of them are grafted. Dave did not go away empty handed from this deal as I passed on a very large European Hornbeam to him. Looking forward to picking these up this summer and thanks for all your efforts, my friend.
