I've been busy: (here's my entire collection that I've acquired over the months since my first one)



My largest ficus. I chopped this one back to half it's original height a few months ago. It's just now starting to come back. the taper of the trunk and the surface roots (nebari) are it's best features. best of all, it cost me nothing. (my gardener gave it to me as a gift. Total height: about 2 feet.


Two junipers. The one in front is done in a cascade style (I forced it to cascade by wiring it in that position, wire comes off in 6 months) in a purchased pot, the one in the back is an informal upright style in a pot that I made.



Back row: Liquid amber tree in a storebought pot. This one is my favourite because in the autumn the leaves turn bright red before they fall, plus the tree has excellent nebari. The silver stuff on the tree is wire that helps bend the branches to a new shape and holds them there until the new position sets, i plan to remove it in about a month.

Front row (from left) Ficus, in a pot that i made. it's coming back nicely after having all the top branches chopped off back in december. (I didn't like the old branches-- too much bad shaping, better to start over. )

The next one is a juniper (different type than the other two, in a pot that I made myself. It's a slanted style. I accidentally broke off one of the branches, so i'll have to wait a full year until next spring when more will grow.



this is an acer Palmatium-- a Japanese maple. I plan to develop this into an informal upright, but there is a long way to go. The branching needs a lot of work. Lately it's been too hot here (about 85 degrees fahrenheit) and the leaves are starting to scorch because they're tissue-paper thin. fortunately more are growing to replace them. Pot is not one of my own creations, I got it for free with the tree.

Cool. I always liked looking at bonsai trees, and these are nice.

That first one must be a FRENCH bonsai tree :0

if(getThingFlags(source) & 0x8){

elseif(getThingFlags(source) & 0x4){
  do other babe}
else{

The first one is the Great Deku Tree!

Ehem, nice work though. =D

They're growing fast. That first ficus tree now has twice as many leaves on it as in the picture.
