Next to it sits my 200 year old grape
Another tree due for a nice pot next spring 
Oranges are almost ready

Oranges are almost ready
I have had this tree for a few years now. It came up from a mates place when a pool was installed. That was Mid summer so I didn't expect it to live but as you can see it did. I haven't done much to it and i prefer to call it a veranda tree but who knows one day it might make it as a bonsai and I thought some might find this picture interesting

It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.

Fantastic, I'm tempted to do the same with a little tree I have out the back.

Re: Oranges are almost ready
It would be a large Bonsai Bretts but it would look fantastic if you decided to go ahead and develop it. Are the fruits juicy and sweet

Glad you all like 
It went into a nursery pot first then roughly into this pot and since then it has had a good repot back into the same one. Needs lots of water and also lots of fert.cuwire wrote:Can not believe you have this producing in a bonsai pot ... what more do you want ..thanks for sharing
Love to see what you have in mind RDReddragon wrote:Fantastic, I'm tempted to do the same with a little tree I have out the back.
This one is on the list of trees that need carving next year and I will always prune with Bonsai in mind so who knows where it will go. As I said it needs lots of water and nutrients, in past years I have fallen a little short. A couple of split fruits or fruit knocked off. Looks like I have done a better job this year so I will let you know how sweet they are soonbodhidharma wrote:It would be a large Bonsai Bretts but it would look fantastic if you decided to go ahead and develop it.

I will take a few more pics soon. I have put some pics of it on here before. Maybe in the Sunday thread but I thought I better post independent this time.VelvetSicklid wrote:Anymore pics mate please?
