Nice work ant... cant wait to see it budding out.

Any plans to trim it back this season or are you waiting for it to settle in the new pot?

BTW, Really nice pot it'll go great with the autumn foliage of the Ash cant wait to see.

Is the pot from an Australian potter? I really like the glaze, it'd go great with a maple!

Thanks Scott, yes i will play with it after the first flush hardens off. The pot is good quality chinese from Oriental Bonsai.

Very nice little forest Ant , cant wait to see it in leaf . How old are the tree's ? How long have they been grouped for ? Cheers

[anttal63]

Thanks Craig and Ian. They will be 5yrs old this spring and have been grouped together for 4 yrs. We pulled out 200 odd seedlings out of my fathers back vegie patch in mid spring 2005. Self sown from the next door neighbours tree.
