Whoa! What have I done to you? I always react with the utmost respect to your posts as I consider you very knowledgeable. Why the sudden need to offend me?
Well, must be your nationality. I can guess where you come from.
I do apologize. :dry:

I apologize for questioning the validity of your post. I thought that you were making fun of or possibly a mockery of this art/hobby. I hope you dig deep into this past time and find what you're looking for. I will be of any help I can through my experiences.

And there came an adder and bit him in the neck, so that Zarathustra screamed with pain. When he had taken his arm from his face he looked at the serpent; and then did it recognise the eyes of Zarathustra, wriggled awkwardly, and tried to get away. "Not at all," said Zarathustra, "as yet hast thou not received my thanks! Thou hast awakened me in time; my journey is yet long." "Thy journey is short," said the adder sadly; "my poison is fatal." Zarathustra smiled. "When did ever a dragon die of a serpent's poison?"—said he.
That is from my most favourite book of all time man, I consider it the best piece of literature ever written
Thanks for sharing one ot the many thoughts of a great mind

Before you go buying your next mallsai please research what we are looking for in a "bonsai".
It is challenging to try and make something out of mallsais for me, just abused a ligustrum my dad got for me, but I have no idea how on earth would anyone make a bonsai out of this thing.
But at least you can learn on it how to keep it alive.
