After 7 months the canopy has begun to take shape. This of course is only the first styling, with more to come. I want to develop to top on the right side of the mound. If all goes well I expect to have this tree ready to submit to Epcot display in 2009.

Once I got in there to take a look I found that there was a lot to remove. This is a soft wood so I tried to be careful and not expose the bare wood as much as possible. However these cuts were big so I had little choice.

My first thought was, keep this tree alive. So I repotted it immediately into my favorite bonsai soil mix


So seriously, where do you start?

This is the tree that was given to me. It is a HUGE bougainvillea, estimated to be over 50 years old. This tree took a lot of thinking before I could begin working on it. Oh and it has a lot of thorns (ouch!)


Just a mess of crossed branches
