Drastic rework on boring olive stick.

Post by Sammy D »

Ive been watering and looking after this boring stick for a few years so thought ill get drastic on it. Chainsawed and carved it. Looking at it it needs more movement in branches and i will. Didnt want to do too much in a day as they have already moved a fair bit. Will tweak it in the coming months.

A stick in a pot is better than no stick at all. Remember even the best bonsai started as a stick.

Right hand branch is a little long isnt it?
Interested to see this settle in, good on your pursuit for improvement!
One of the fabulous things about growing bonsai is as you get old and decrepit your trees get old and beautiful
