There and Back Again with a Cryptomeria- from Michael Hagedorn's Crataegus Bonsai blog 

The first annual Bonsai Bark prize for brilliance in writing as it pertains to bonsai, goes to…. Michael Hagedorn!

Or more accurately, Michael has plenty of importance to say about bonsai. With depth, range and humor. A rare combination as it turns out

Today’s post is inspired by three of Michael’s Crataegus Bonsai posts. The rest is up to you...

On the lighter side... a three part series on the treachery of bonsai apprentices. The Dark Paths of Apprentices (in three parts)
