From the first time I watched Mr. Miagi manipulate and care for his bonsai trees in the Karate Kid series as a kid, I have always been fascinated with the art of bonsai.\u00a0 I have several specimens that I have been caring for over the years and always welcome new additions to my mini family.\u00a0 My family humor my small obsession and help foster my collection and hobby with encouraging words and sometimes a plant or tree here and there.\u00a0 My mother-in-law, Pat (one of the most thoughtful people I\u00a0 know and probably the reason my wife is such a thoughtful person) saw this little guy at a local greenhouse supply store and thought of me instantly.\u00a0 Thank you Mom.\u00a0 The specimen is Chamaecyparis pisifera<\/em>, a.k.a. Tsukumo Dwarf Sawara Cypress.\u00a0 It retains its globe shape and typically only grows about an inch a year.\u00a0 Perfect for my cool little bonsai pot that has been waiting for over two years for a companion.<\/p>\n
