This tree made the transition to a bonsai pot without any problems. In fact it is doing very well. The candles are opening and the color and movement of this tree are looking great.

Well for a person that doesn’t do small trees, I sure have been doing a lot of small trees lately. However I couldn’t pass this one up. Great price and absolutely perfect. I’m not sure how I actual got it out without a struggle. So many people we looking at this tree and once it was styled there were jaws dropping left and right.
These roots were in perfect condition and loaded with mychorrhizae. It is just the most healthy tree I think I have ever worked with.
As I slowly raked the roots I noticed even more mychorrhizae. The roots had great drainage and were very condensed, feeder roots. I just can’t get over how amazing these roots were.
Well here it is in its bonsai pot, all 5 inches of it! Amazing how much power a little tree like this can project. I’ll keep you posted as its begins to fill in.

This little tree just keeps getting better. I wired down the first branch on the left and it really framed the trunk a lot better. I would have to think that by next year this tree will be ready for show. Sept 2006

I finally shortened the long growing branches. They have thickened up pretty well. However I wanted to cut it back to help create new branches. I need to develop a top for this tree. As you may be able to see there are some new shoots emerging from the top even now. July 2005
