This tree has been with me since the early 90s. It came from an old nursery in Little Mountain, Sc. Jean Jennings is the daughter of man who started this nursery. He specialized in dwarf and unusual conifers. This is one of the only "non-bonsai" nurseries I have ever seen Shimpaku. When I got it Mrs. Jennings thought it was about 30 years old...it was planted in an old metal can. It has gone through many transformations through the years. At one point (maybe mid 90s), Tom Dimig styled this tree for a BCSC meeting. It was displayed at the Carolina Bonsai Expo the year Dan Robinson was the guest artist. I plan to display it again this year at the Expo.
