I like the new front very much. Appreciate the information on treating the wounds. Have seen lime sulfur used by others but without an explanation.

Thank you Mama. I once took a writing class that taught me to assume that your reader is "intelligent but uninformed" on whatever topic you were writing about so that's how I try to do my videos. I realize that many people well versed bonsai, even more so than myself, watch my videos but I still think that taking things down to simple explanations is the way to go.

Can you do a video where you review some of your trees and share what you like or don’t like about them. It’s helpful to understand what makes a good bonsai.

I can do that! Thanks for the great idea, I feel with winter coming on that I was running out of ideas for videos. When it comes to "good bonsai" that's a tricky one because bonsai is such a subjective endeavor but I can definitely discuss the general rules that I try to follow to create my trees. You don't happen to know a Nancy Aronson who lived in the Chicago area as a little girl? I was madly in love with her when I was eight years old! LOL
