Re: Some of my trees and setup
Some i have puchased over the years. Some i have grown myself. Shohin in general are quicker to produce having said that many are 10-15 years oldjonathanv wrote:You have purchased some nice trees

Re: Some of my trees and setup
Yes, this is a lovely set up. Pure envy this end. Oh, for the space.
Love the combination of rocks and stands. Of course, some wonderful trees too. In photo 570 you’ve got the whole medusa thing happening up that back near the fence - May I ask, what tree that is?
Bonsai teaches me patience.

Re: Some of my trees and setup
Its a really nice tree . always pot grown slowly which is showing in its bark . It need a complete wire one day that will be a task as the tree is around 90cm tall.Mitch_28 wrote:Gees I love that cedar!! Awesome specimen Matthew

Looks so good.
One of the fabulous things about growing bonsai is as you get old and decrepit your trees get old and beautiful

Re: Some of my trees and setup
Couple of shohin trees that Leigh has returned after 12 months at the National Arboretum . They also come back in the best of shape and I hope the general public enjoyed them.
