Also this one was collected in South Dakota by Andy Smith and went to Brussel's Nursery in 1999. There it semed too expensive obviously (I cannot believe that they did not see the potential)and nobody purchased it. So I did finally for a price that would bring tears to your eyes. So far to the 'lack' of good bonsai material in America. Oh, I have written this before, sorry. It makes me cringe every time some innocent person without much of a clue writes on the internet again how poor America is compaerd to Europe because there is 'so much more and better material in Europe'. Exactly the contrary is true. Nobody in Europe ever came close to find anything of this quality.
Here offering picture and first pictures in Germany in 2001.
