these are all about 4 inches or so tall except the Juni which is a bit taller
Enjoy.

Hi kc , very nice indeed , I'm slowly reducing the height and pot size on a lot of matyerial not quite mini's but getting there . I probably wouldn't have the time to look after these , there's bound to be a bit more work required .

Cheers . Alpine

:wave: Ken,
Nice littlun's - Really like the semi cascade Box. Cool pot too.
I don't have many minis, but appreciate the constant care it must take for these to survive (especially in the Summer)
Hope they're not blowing away on you with these strong winds presently - 1 x smashed pot here blown off the bench yesterday :palm:
Not the sort of "windswept style" I was looking for.

Thanks for the compliments.
I keep the small ones on a gravel tray and water them all once in winter and 2 times in summer. They are in a somewhat filtered light spot under some Eucalypts in the back yard so do not get midday sun
Liquid fert along will all the other trees every few weeks.

Surprisingly they do not require that much upkeep as it takes about 2 minutes to trim them and not many more to wire when needed :-) :lol: :lol:

I suggest everyone has a few as they make great Accent trees and small displays

PS pots are cheap too :-) :lol:

The 1st one is the most intriguing.
I'd like to see it again in years to come. :yes:
