Still... going through the list there are loads of real hits. I've heard the survival rate of bonsai from a known bonsai trader in the Netherlands is 30 percent... the results for trees from standard nurseries will be far worse.

Auk, do you mean the survivalrate of imported trees, yamadori, trees he ships towards the customers or what trees do you mean?

30% is incredibly low by the way, can't we think of anything that provides a higher rate?
