Thought I would show this little Madagascan gem, title above.
There is a massive version of the tree in the Brisbane Botanical Gardens (near the toilet block if I am correct)
Progress shows from 2007 til now, for the last 4 years I have not been able to remove it from the pot without damaging tree or pot so for now there it stays, - it seems happy. When it doesn't I guess I will have to smash a pot to get it out it is that stuck.
anyhooo... hope you enjoy this little one.

One of the fabulous things about growing bonsai is as you get old and decrepit your trees get old and beautiful
