    I found a few interesting tips in this video. Thanks for making it! In the future, please allow someone you are visiting or interviewing to talk without interrupting them. At many points in this video, I felt like Frank was about to say something interesting and you kept cutting him off with your own summary of what he was doing, or to say "yeah", or "uh huh" too much. Thanks.

    Don't suppose you know where to get a Jade Tree in Thailand. I am just beginning my bonzai efforts and usually have to have my brother send things to me here that I buy off Amazon, such as tools, pots, etc. Would really like to know if there is a good high quality bonzai supply shop here. A shop that includes different types of plants. Most of the nursery's here have the same type trees and I would like to have a variety of plants / trees.

      This species of Jade was actually originated by Frank Yee. It is a Portulacaria Afra but with corking qualities hence the name Portulacaria afra 'Frank'. Glad the video was helpful! The convention will be in Riverside, California this year. Visit www.gsbfbonsai.org for more details.
