I was lucky enough to purchase a port Jackson fig two years ago from one of the most experienced bonsai artists in our club and thought I would share it here.
The tree stands about 700mm tall

A lovely P.J. With a few years refinement it will be stunning.

To me it is stunning already. A great acquisition, obviously grown by a skilled hand. Ash

Awesome, natural looking tree Steve.

Grown by a true artist and purchased with a keen eye for quality!
What pot do you have it in?

Regards,
Steven

Thanks for your comments Steven, Jason and Edward,

The bonsai artist who developed the tree is Ken Hapgood and he did a great job

Steven, you are spot on about the pot (of lack thereof) .......I took the photo as an annual update and hadn't given much thought about using the photo otherwise.
If I was a bit smarter I should have included the pot and simply cropped it before including in my history software. :o
Next year.....

Regards
Steve
