hey ausbonsai-ers,

it seems we so often see pics of our bonsai's in progression but how about showing off your finest trees? complete, incomplete, perhaos the one you just enjoy the most of the one you think has the most potential...lets share and see how many pics we can get posted here

Looks Like I'm first :D The boug is one of the trees dug up from son-in-laws garden about 7 weeks ago. Now grtting new growth and can't wait to do some carving. Any ideas :roll: :roll:
The fig I've had for about 10 years, was defoliated, repotted and now getting new growth. Can anyone tell me if it's a benji or whatever?? :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Nothing flash, just works in progress :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
cheers Loretta

here is my fav. although it is still a work in progress i think it has the best potential. i will post an update of where it is at now. it has had a trunk chop and the brach structure is going well. it is not the same tree as the japanese flowering quince. this chinese wuince is more tree liek and gets awesome crimson glossy autumn colour and pink flowers in spring. so who's next? i see lots of ppl looking but no-one adding anything. surely we all have at least one bonsai to show off hehe

nice tree mick. as for the apex, is there two branches, one on the left and one on the right? can u wire them down a little? mayeb that will help the apex look fuller?
