Japanese Box

Post by Watto »

This tree was started as one of my entries in the "Shohin Comp" and has continued on since then. I thought I would post just to show the life cycles for want of better words on bonsai. This tree is 22 cm tall and it still flowers, fruits and goes though all seasons where there is much growth and the "yellowing" of the leaves.
Good tough little tree that has provided much enjoyment.

I'd be guessing Hal, but probably 15 to 20 by the size of the trunk.

Love it!
Always we hope someone else has the answer.
Bonsai is an art of shrinking.
