Electricians nightmare !
I was given this willow leaf fig from an apartment block where I do some work. The tenants had nicked off and not paid their bill. I have never seen a wire job like it before. There was only 2 lengths of wire and it crossed over everywhere

Is that larger gauge, co-axial cable?

Re: Electricians nightmare !
The pot has a sticker on it from Defined Garden Bonsai Studio but I can't imagine it would have left like that

Now when you see this. It tells us we must educate people that putting wire on a plant and putting in a pot.
Does not a Bonsai make.
Cheers

Re: Electricians nightmare !
Id like to say there was a nice tree under that lot, I really would.
But its going to take heaps of work just to get that to a starter standard, depends how many years you need to improve your soul, I suppose.

No, but it does make a convienient way of storing you excess tv cable! Now everytime he wants to watch some Lindsay, he can just hook up the Bonsai aerial.

Re: Electricians nightmare !
I was wondering if the owner wired and pruned it while driving back from the coast

Re: Electricians nightmare !
Thanks for sharing that, Bougy Fan! Makes me feel a whole lot better about my attempts at wiring and styling

Re: Electricians nightmare !
bougy ...the challenge remains...can you make the "pheonix" from the ashes of what has got to be the worst job of wiring since the perimeter fence on "Hogans Heroes",it's kinda sad to see it like that,so do your best and bring it to some level of respect,you can do it!

Re: Electricians nightmare !
I love the over abundance of wire that has not been used for shaping. Duuuuhhhhh. Guess it is still a bonsai 'cos it's got wire on it.
