Some of our collection

Post by chrisatrocky »

My son, Christan and I were bitten by the bonsai bug on the 6th June 2006 when I bought a small Ficus retusa (pot belly fig) from Kmart for Christan's 16th Birthday. This tree was in a bonsai pot, Well you's know the ones, all the roots out of the soil, and 3 or 4 leaves on the top. This is some of our collection now, just 6 years later.

The tree that started it all, new pot, branches and a lot more leaves.
