He as never said anything about it Raymond, i should see him next sunday and i will ask for you.

[@houghtonbonsai]

[@raymondbirds2392]

@@houghtonbonsai thanks Ryan, i was just curious as ive collected 2 scots pine yamidori recently . Sussing signs to watch out for. I will have to wait at least 6 months. Like you said they can keep going for 6 months on what they have stored
