Hey ky,




Here is a before and after of my pjf mate. 30 plus years from seed and still growing strong.

Jason

thanks for sharing jason !
the before and after of your pjf is amazing! i'm imagining it with aeireal roots dropping from the branches...
i have a pjf thats thickening up and im hoping it will look a bit like yours but less leggy and elegant and with lots of aeireal roots

Probably my collected Azalea, From my Neighbors house after she was put into a home.
Miss you Faye

Ken

Not my tree but an absolute favorite is this beaut from an old bonsai book (apologies for the poor pic)

Actually got about 4 different ones and 3 more bits that did not survive

Good fun collecting old Azaleas

Been absent from the forums for a while now:(
lets see if we can get any more pics added to this thread!

Not necessarily my favourite but the closest to resembling bonsai.

My benji forest/clump. Not looking the best atm after a full season of neglect but the frame is there for something unorthidox and special, pic taken in summer:

I like this little crepe myrtle the best. It's had some dieback but has sprouted new buds where the old branches were. Fantastic trees, crepes.

A native to africa....not sure what it is...but suspect a grewia.
Before

and after


Still needs a lots of work.

Can you explain the rock addition Neli?
Have you simply moulded / made a rock to suit your trunk?

Yes...I just molded the rock around the roots so they can still grow...but need to modify the rock a bit and make it better. One more thing...I planted it upside down to get it like this and then planted it back normal again. All the roots were up...so I just put soil and moss around.

Obviously this is not one of mine. Belongs to Peter at Bonsai Emporium in Perth. It was collected from a farm in Harvey, pot is nearly 1.5m long and 900mm wide. This is my inspiration!

Hard to say it is so big...and it is nice...
