According to Mansei-en staff, when the Ezo Spruce were first brought to Mansei-en over 170 years ago, they quickly discovered that when the summer temperature hits over 32C for more than 2 days, the tips begin to brown. This was a mystery for a few years until it was remembered that Ezo Spruce grows mostly on mountainsides where direct sunlight only lasts a few hours at a time. The Ezo Spruce group plantings were moved to a more shaded area of the garden and apparently, the browning tips problem stopped.
i have been thinking and have thought, what will we leave the world when we die? kings and queens will be remembered, but the only people that leave the world and humans anything truly important after we die, are people that plant trees. (plants of any kind) anyway... i hope everyone has wonderful days and happy lives.
I was very honoured to have tea with this wonderful mam in 2005. A special day in my life
Kato so well respected and his trees have such a rich history.
Just look at the eyes of the Master, surveying everywhere making sure everything is just so. Brilliant.

Thank You for sharing this with us. Beautiful collection.
I am traveling to Japan and I look forward to visit his nursery. Lucky those who had the opportunity to meet him!
Was great to see Masashi Hirao getting around in the background during his time as an apprentice.
He is someone i would love to learn from one day.
I thought I recognized him.
