Hi Meagi,

Some very nice trees there, I look forward to seeing where you take them from here. I have had a stiff neck of late so to assist others and myself in viewing them on, here they are rotated for you mate.

Did you take them with your phone and then upload them to your laptop/PC/ipad etc etc and then post ? Even still perhaps its not the OP that is doing it but the device the photo was taken from. There are plenty of programs you can get to tweak and rotate your photos on the market.

Look forward to seeing these ones in a few years.

Cheers

David

Hi Naimul
Most are air layers some grown from seedlings I cannot take credit for their appearance all were bought from quality bonsai persons from this form all top bonsai man .
They are far from perfect but will get there in time from guidance from all of you and a lot of hard work .
I've been told to get good trees you got to work them hard and keep them in shape otherwise it will just be a bush in a pot .
Just put together a 5 trunk multi Japanese maple tonight from 2 yr old seedlings , it may work and fuse together and look good and it may not but at least I had a crack and will learn something from it regardless .
Thanks anyways for your kind words makes it all worth while .
Cheers

Good stuff.
Thanks for sharing.
One of the fabulous things about growing bonsai is as you get old and decrepit your trees get old and beautiful
