Hi all

Just a thread to get everyone to show their Shohin size bonsai.
I'll take some pictures later to put them in. Feel free to start before me.

Shohin size bonsai is approx 7cm - 20cm.

Cheers.
John

hi,

as promised some pics of my shohin, all of them are still in training in one way or another, i have included a few trees that are a little bigger but they arent to bad so thought i would share.

some of them like the willow leaf arent my fav but it might be a decent tree eventually, the pot is horrendous but its just in it for root development reasons, i needed to tie it in a pot as it was a failed airlayer attempt, well 2 actually and i got frustrated with it and took it as a cutting and reduced it considerably. pot is still ugly :lol:

the banksia is my one and only but i am starting to like it even though it needs a lot more development :D

Some nice trees there.
Thought I might show the Casuarina torulosa that I potted today in a Pat K pot. I envisage a bright lime green pot in the future but the Pat pot will do for now :P

Here is a back shot as the front shot may have given the impression there was a large chop :?

Thought it looked that way. I reckon it should look a treat when I get a top on it something like this :P

I don't know much about torulosa. The foliage looks more like a grass tree or something than the Cas that I am used too so I can only hope the foliage comes up as I expect.

Leong had a few of these similar at Bonsai South but I hear that the Canberra club cleaned him out on their recent visit :lol:
