Hi strawbs , Lebiana or Deodara and how long did it take ? Cheers Alpine

Thanks for posting the progression Grant - really inspiring.
You have been lucky in getting the opportunity to rub shoulders over the years with some legends in both local and global bonsai

Alpine, Deodara, pots were on for a full year, at first they didnt take so left them on.

Not another one .My lovely wife is not impressed .This one is on the larger landscape tray that Jamie was doing some verts on.After seeing the subjects in this topic and motivated into doing something with what i had this is the result .The trees are callitris , very young seedlings from 100mm to 350mm .Moss will be added later along with some rocks which i have yet to make.This trainer took about 1 hour to create .Cheers
