    I would love to see a discussion on the process of importing/quarantining a tree, if you happen to know any people. I know Bjorn from Eisei-en has talked about helping ship and receive very expensive, high-value trees internationally before, but I imagine that whomever has the job of quarantining priceless bonsai destined for an exhibit or wealthy client must present a fascinating conversation

    Hi Peter,
    You said something interesting. You have to give the tree some air. After you reshape the tree it does look better in the pot. I guess you can trim the tree to fit the design of the pot. As a beginner I always learn something new from your vlog. Thanks for sharing. 🙏🙏🙏

  • @rosshall62
    @rosshall62 Рік тому +5

    I think the red leaf of the maple suits the pot if not the upright style of that particular tree. In my mind the pot colour and texture is quite volcanic and could be thought of as a fiery volcano where a dragon lives. The red leaves imitate a fire.

    • @watsup6084

      Agreed, the red maple would be a good fit if the trunk would be more twisted like the dragon.

    My first thought was a literati, but the incongruity of a rather massive rugged pot and the delicacy of a tree essence seemed a bit much. As you always say Mr. Chen, everyone has a vision that not all have to accept. In the end I liked your choice, although the tree looked a bit small compared to the size of the pot. Again, it is just how I see it on the screen. If I had the opportunity to see it live, maybe it would pook different. Thank you, again, for an enjoyable moment on a rainy Sunday morning.

    Plants imported to the U.S. have varying entry requirements. In addition to a listing in the FAVIR database, plants imported to the U.S must be healthy. Plants imported to the U.S. must be free of insects. Plants imported to the U.S. should have bare roots without growing media on the roots.
    Other requirements might include additional documentation, even when you do not need a permit. Needed documents might include endangered species paperwork, depending on the plant imported. Those who import and export endangered species of plants must follow the rules of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Flora and Fauna (CITES) and the Endangered Species Act (ESA). Under these rules, you must get a USDA Protected Plant Permit to import endangered plants. Importers of endangered species of plants must also get necessary permits under the USDA’s regulations for nursery stock. Additionally, CITES-listed plants must enter the U.S. through certain ports and inspection stations.

    Peter, Czechoslovakia existed from 1918 (Treaty of Versailles). It ended in the 'Velvet Divorce' in January 1993. For the last 30 years, Czechoslovakia has not existed. Please don't refer to Czechoslovakia. Do you mean Czech Republic, or Slovak Republic?
