Brief Summary: Richard describes the trees of the Yamaguchi Bonsai Nursery
Transcription
It's just a labor of love that my mother started, and we continue to grow. It's a hobby that kind of got out of hand. We had to start a business in order to let the trees grow. The oldest ones we have are about 51 years old, and they vary in size from 4 feet up to 10, 12 feet tall.
