I'm new here. I'm new to CP's. I'm new to owning plants in general. I have a Chinese elm bonsai and just a month or so ago received a VFT. I'm assuming it's a typical, but I really cannot know for sure, as I do not know enough about them and what all the different types/mutations look like...

I will be going to Tokyo, Japan (first time) for business in a couple of weeks. Are there any "must see" botanical gardens for cp or bonsai? I have searched online and there seems to be a good deal of gardens which look good, but since my time will be limited, I am planning to see just one. I...
