All the initial work on this tree was done by a series of cows. It is a Chinese elm, japanese pot, not sure of breed of cow.
Other than someone else digging it up and me buying it and putting it into a pot; not a lot of human work has been done on this tree.
Yummidori, Chewadori, Cowadori, Bulligerentadori.

Re: Do cows make Bonsai?

Re: Do cows make Bonsai?
