They are beautiful, Expresso. In my early stage Bonsai, I'm leaning heavily towards Trident maples and similar trees.

I'm anxiously awaiting arrival of a nice Trident I bought on eBay which is something I may not do again. The tree plus another were sent from the NSW Central Coast last Monday and still haven't arrived. I'm fearful of what five days (and that's if they arrive today!) in a box in the hands of Australia Post may have done to them (I was posted an ordinary letter from North Sydney - a distance of about 90kms - on Dec 2 last and received it Jan 13).

Ron can you get the Aus Post tracking number from the seller?....We have had some pretty hot days (fingers crossed)
I order a book before Christmas from the US, it took 30 days to get to me.

I sent out my wedding invited before Christmas, some people hadn't received them after the RSVP date!

Definately get a tracking number if you can.

Just got an email from the seller and was he was sick on Monday and didn't send anything out. They'll be going out next Monday. What a relief! :) Now I don't have to spend the weekend worrying.

(Sorry for the thread hi-jacking, Expresso.)
