Matchmaking - Murrumbung, meet Crabapple!

Post by Thymetraveller »

It amuses me to think that I am more of a pothead now than I was in the 1980s...it's a habit, and no mistake!
I started with the intention of only buying pots with specific trees in mind.It seems I can resist anything but temptation!
I fell for this one on the Murrumbung Studio Ceramics website. Tracey dispatched it with her usual efficiency and flawless customer service, and for months I have quietly admired it as it nestled among it's cousins from Japan, China, Australia on the shelves where I keep my pot stash. As with all my unaffiliated containers, I am constantly on the lookout for the perfect tree, and when I spotted this character-drenched little crabapple at Bonsai Art, I knew they'd make magic together!

It's going to be a delight helping these to geow5into one another!

Beautiful pot!
One of the fabulous things about growing bonsai is as you get old and decrepit your trees get old and beautiful

I'm still very new at this, so I'm always amazed when trees survive big cuts...
This one seems to have pulled through!
A spring update:

There are going to be plenty of good branches to choose from!
