Given to Tuan as a farewell gift from
colleagues and friends at Sony
Trans Com/Rockwell-Collins, this Japanese black pine
(botanical name: Pinus thunbergii)
is about 20 year-old and 35 cm (14 inch) tall. Being
developed
in the informal upright ("moyogi" in Japanese bonsai jargon) style, this
popular species of bonsai was custom potted by a talented bonsai enthusiast,
Mr. Bob Britton.
