All the other vines have been sold (as i need to earn a living) but i have decided to keep the Virginia creeper. I have put it into a cultural revolution pot and it has been wired for a while. I also changed the planting angle. I know they are an acquired taste but the fruit and Autumn colour make it a worthwhile project. It has a lot of age and the leaves do reduce if you are consistent with defoliation. Twice a year should do it.

Thanks Jason,
The pot is one that you either love or hate whether collectible or not (i like it) and seeing the tree, or vine, is not really regarded as a Bonsai i can be as "out there" as i like. :tounge:
