My $3 bonsai

Post by Sammy D »

Pot cost 3 bucks and the tree was free and have shaped it for a couple of growing seasons. Happy with its progress so far. It is a Bit smaller than i am used to but great when it comes to wiring :lol: think i might do some more small ones. :tu:

A stick in a pot is better than no stick at all. Remember even the best bonsai started as a stick.
