The Daimyo Oak (Quercus dentata) is styles as an
nformal upright style. The tree was donated by
Dr. Robert Gotcher. Historically this is one of the most important bonsai and the longest in cultivation in the
United States. In 1863 during Lincoln's presidency, Mr. Burlingame was envoy to China. This tree was a gift
to him as he passed through Japan on his return to
the US. The peninsula city of Burlingame was named
for this man from Massachusetts. Its name, Daimyo,
was the title of a feudal ruler before the Meiji
restoration in 1871.
The Daimyo Oak has been completely restyled by
Master Yaso Mitsuya in September as can be seen
to the right.
