I don't think I have posted this one before??
I took cuttings over three 10 years to get the different sizes. They are all the same clone.
After a long time it's starting to come together. Much patience required!

That was just for the smaller ones you understand :D They say bonsai is an old man's pastime. I say it's a young man's/woman's game.

Agree, definitely a young person’s game. The younger the better to develop good trees from scratch.
Even the pots are too heavy these days and their empty!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:
Getting rid of all my large pots, not even sure what I was thinking with a few of them. Obviously got during my younger foolish days :whistle:
Cheers

Love it. How often do you have to repot it?

every two years. They are strong growers unlike the Asian ones.
