Finally, the Proof We've All Been Waiting For!

Okay, that is hilarious.
Hey all you patriarchs out there! I have a full line of burning bushes for sale, from Bonsai to Sequoia, suitable for chastising even the biggest of Philistines. I give discounts on orders of a gross or more.

Sequoia are not bushes, and neither are most bonsai.

 

[warren]

Sequoia are woody bushes with a glandular problem. Bonsai have simply been cut down to sixe, deservedly so, in some cases.

 

[sablebrush52]

I was thinking more in terms of size. From a Bonsai sized burning bush to a Sequoia sized burning bush. Sheesh! You patriarchs are a tough audience...

Actually nearly any tree can be turned into a bonsai, even the mighty Sequoia.

 

[woodsroad]

But a tree can not be turned into a bush, even if you set it on fire.
And Moses sayeth:

"For lo, burning trees, we are blessed with many. But the bush, it burns only for me"
"It's true"

-Tzipora

I watched a guy engineering his bonsai, selective as a moheli at a bris (brith?)

@Dan
An awful lot of preoccupation with bushes. Did we recently go for a waxing?

 

[woodsroad]

Ask not for whom the bush burns.

It burns for thee.
But it's nothing that can't be cured with prescription medications.

The nice thing about bonsai is that they don't have to be exotic. A local species can be selected for hardiness in their own environment and trained from a seeding into a bonsai.

Or OTC. Lotrimin is a blessing. :rofl:

My gods only want... shrubbery!

Would you cut it with a herring?

 

[snagstangl]

Nailed it! Pipe engineering.

 

[Chasing Embers]

And there you have it folks. Proof! :clap:

Talk about thread drift! This one's under power!
Let's get to the bush,—long lamented, bushes just seem so 1980's. Or at least last century, the last time I saw one in person.

 

[brian64]

And there you have it folks. Proof!

I'm glad that's finally settled. It's the smoking of the pipe that requires engineering.

long lamented, bushes just seem so 1980's. Or at least last century

The most recent one was just a shrub.

"nearly any tree can be turned into a bonsai, even the mighty Sequoia." -- zwaytrudat, but it'd take at least a case of Case knives.....

Personally I like a shrubbery that is on the bushy side. This trend of manicured bush is not in keeping with my more wild aesthetic. Keep the shrubbery a bit wild says I. Ni!
