AusBonsai

hey people. like i have been talking about my kids have been interested in my bonsai, so today, this morning i took them out and went to a local nursery where i knew they had some starters. and to my delight they both choose shimpaku. looks like good tase runs in the genes real happy about that

so we raced home because they were quite excited to get into. and we went through some basic stuff but the girls really loved it. the trees arent in bonsai pots yet as they have had a style and now we will let them recover and grow out a bit. they understand but want a pot to

Ebony had a bit of a mishap and had her main trunk snap, which she was a bit worried about till i told her it was ok it happens, and i think it has helped in the overall look over her tree any ways

tylah got to use all her trunk making it a big bigger in canopy but they will both turn out quite well, i am very happy with how they went and that they want to take care of them

so here are the before and afters of the first stylings

Good start mate love it.
If only my or my grandies were. Pup

oh, thats a shame mate, as far as i am concerned you can consider yourself and mrs pup to have a couple of new grand kids mate they are so happy that you commented on their trees, they are very excited. and they have just said to me that they want you all to come and visit sometime it might be the other way around if and when i get this job in kalgoorlie

Congratulations Tylah and Ebony on your excellent work, welcome to the club. I look foreward to seeing your trees in the future.
Best wishes

A family that Bonsais together stays together. Well done Tylah and Ebony!!!

Good start! Hope Tylah and Ebony both grow up with trees forever and they will have some AMAZING trees by the time they are 30!

Excellent work Ebony and Tylah,
I hope your trees grow up beautiful and healthy. They are a great start to your collection!

after one morning of bonsai-ing with me they have become hooked!!! already want more, and they want mum to get in on it, and she has said she will so it looks like we will be having some great weekends and a great collection. and yes mate they will have some great trees by then, and i am now confident when i go (which will be a very long time) that they will continue with my trees gotta be happy with that

bodhi- that is too true, it feels like we are even closer then we were before now

webos- thank you for the kind comments, i am just about to tuck them into bed and will let them know.

i will let them know about everyones comments. they love it

thanks guys

Well done Ebony and Tylah, good to see the young ones get into the art at such an early age, I will look forward to seeing more of their work in future, Jamie you must be proud, I know I would be
