Centaura,

Sorry to hear about your computer. As Durante used to say, "what a revoltin' development!"

As for your lacebark, remember that it's native to China, and your specimen was probably grown somewhere else in the Yew Ess. So it's a bit out of its element in more ways than one, and needs a year or two to adapt. Kansai was probably right.

Will we see you at the workshop with Bob Eskeitz on Saturday? (My daughter wants me to put a smilie here, namely this one: .)

The most important bonsai tool is your brain.

i've heard that if the needles are wet too often, that they will start to turn at the tips.

Thanks all for the info. I had thought that it had been grown in Michigan, which is farther north than I am. But I hadn't thought about the fact that it might not have been grown up there. And it was buried in snow this last winter.

Ah well, hopefully I'll have a new computer by the end of the week. The digital camera never talked with the old computer, I had to take pics off with my work computer. But the cable was one of the things stolen so I need to get that replaced before I'll be getting anything off the camera to any computer.

I hope this stuff wasn't stolen out of your home. It's one thing to have your auto pilfered or something like that. Quite another to have your home violated.

Best wishes--DR
