During my morning walk, I couldn't help but be humbled by the Grandeur of the Bush.
I like nothing better than spending an hour or so in it tranquility.

Re: The Grandeur of the Bush
I like the idea of doing a strangler fig bonsai. Len Webber tried with dead wood (root over wood) but suggested that using a live host would be better. (Root over Tree)
I have tried a root over tree. I used what I call a hackberry as a host. It is going good but I wonder what i will do come the winter frost? As I usually bring my figs inside for winter.

It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.

Re: The Grandeur of the Bush
Great post Jon! I'm going to try to replicate the "squiggles" on one of my bonsai gums. Hmmm... Dremel, scalpel or pin?
