here are my expensive xmas gifts to myself. The olive is a two man tree and pic dosent do it any justice , its REALLY nice, next is a large 70cm plus root over rock premma, ill change the pot at some point but the one it was in the owner wasent giving it up and last a cork bark elm which i love. No presents next year now however

Lucky you, very nice trees. The root over rock is stunning, they all are.

Very nice trees indeed! Your elm has given me some ideas for one of mine I've been struggling to find a future direction for.

Hi Matthew, nice pressies to yourself , both very nice trees indeed , enjoy them.

Very nice indeed, where did you find trees of this calibre for sale?? I'm jealous

Hi Mathew . i never thought of buying a Christmas gift for myself , i don't think i'm worthy of that experience . Nice tree's mate .

Cheers Alpine

Hey Matt, did you acquire these from a nursery or from a private collection?

Jester,
Private collection from a very good grower who no longer is into it heavily. Good stuff is out there just have to find it and settle on a price which is always the tricky bit.

the olive as of today it has been liking it down here

Lovely trees matthew and lovely pick ups. Good to give yourself a present - then you know you won't be disatisfied!

As for your premma - i did a search and found 'premna' are they the same? Was yours a typo?

I have not seen these previous to your posting, but the website i looked at said they were very popular. http://bonsaijournal.com/premna.php

Do they go under a different name do you know? Anyone else out there have one for us to look at?

Intersted..... very interested....

Premma japonica AKA stinky maple as if you rub the leaves etc if gives off a unusual odour. back is a very nice colour and texture they get small white flowers in clusters than a black berry. decidious in cooler climates with a yellow colour they are frost tolarant. I have 3 , 2ROR and a shohin semi cascade. They make excellent bonsai.
