These are a few in Kimura's collection. A lot of his trees had bar branches and he's won 26 emperor's awards and turned down being named a "National Treasure of Japan" three times already

Can't believe I missed that gem of a thread. Every now and then a regular brit slips out of captivity and makes it to the world wide web...and what a fun ride it is.

That JWP above should cut off the bar branch and graft one below it. Then he could get the 4th national treasure offer and finally accept. All because a cockney builder shared the info here on Bnut.

Sadly, my phone does not have enough memory to hold all of the pictures of my trees that have instances of broken bonsai rules to add to this post

Because he'd have to give up smoking and "hanging out with young women"
