Swampy showing its colour.
This is one of my Swampies under construction. Future plans underway is to undercut the branches and start bringing them down. Beautiful Autumn colour.

Re: Swampy showing its colour.
That's a great looking base Diederik. Unfortunately I don't get any of the colour up here, but trees in the parks do. Not sure if it is because my trees are not exposed and stay warmer ?

Re: Swampy showing its colour.
Nice box Sir
Does it knock down completely or are the shorter sides attached to the base ... great work.
And just as an aside
that is a splendid bonsai.
Cheers

Hmmm..the grow box is getting its fair share of attention. I said a while ago i would do a ..how to..tutorial on how i build them. I will have to deliver on that.tex048 wrote: Like the idea for the grow pot too - does the whole thing knock down flat??
Yes the box comes apart completely and makes repotting a breeze.

Re: Swampy showing its colour.
Hi Bodhi , very nice looking swampy , and that color . You must be having a good Autumn over your way . My tree's are so confused they have some color and plenty of new growth , yet the street scape is all but flashed out . .Looks like i might miss the color this season although we have 5 days of wet weather forecast so that could change .
Cheers Alpine
