He was out here in Santa Clara California but his truck was yellow and he used similar price tags... Didn't offer a business card which seemed shady. I felt as if he was a con artist of the green thumb family as we'll so I did check out his bonsai but didn't purchase they were less than appealing and he used the little chinese figurines of fishermen and rocks in the pots as well which I always felt was cheesy.
