in expectation of the weekend in Pennsylvania

I arrived two days ago. Yesterday I spent all day to take a close look at the new trees and price them with Jim Doyle. I must say that I am quite exited about the quality and variety. There are more than 200 new trees. 95 % of them are in an affordable price range from US$ 45 to 1,000 range. I have the feeling that the quality is even better than last year. Everybody can find his collected American tree for a reasonable price. There is a special sale going on over the weekend . I hope to meet many of you soon.

Hallo,

während des Bonsai Potenzialerkennung Seminars in Enger im letzten Jahr schlugen die auch hier im Forum anwesenden Berliner Bonsai Freunde in abendlicher Runde vor, dass Walter Pall doch auch mal in der Hauptstadt eine Veranstaltung halten könnte.
