Tree-rific Tuesday - Bonsai!
A nice example from a bonsai show I attended.
Happy Tree Tuesday All
I wanted to do an update on my two bonsai that I started a short while back...
This is a good example of the motion I would like to capture in mine.
This pic shows how extensive the trees can be wired for training.
This is one of mine. I have it lightly trained.
I am trying to have it go to the right on a bit of a diagonal, then with a nice upsweep.
This one is quite like mine and its priced at $125...Yikes!
Here is mine. I paid 7 bucks for the plant. I havent found the container that I want yet. I am happy with how I have it thinned.
I am happy with the movement I have so far. This has been done by trimming and no wire.
As you can see even small ones can come with a large price!
I hope your Tuesday is Tree-rific!!!
Thanks for stopping by!

Tree Tuesday - Some of my Favorite Trees Part #5 !!
I would say that you really have taken up an expensive little hobby! Well, I take that back. It can get expensive, but, it seems like you are doing it the right way...
I have always been fascinated by these miniatures and always amazed at the fruits and flowers put out by them.
Wonderful shots and nice post. Happy #TreeTuesday!

Not expensive because I am doing all the work (story of my life). I paid $7 for the one and $5 for the other...heck even the old man can afford that...on a good day anyways ;)
Exactly what I meant! Heck, my earnings are so low - without buying a vote or three that I actually can't afford that! LOL
Wowsers. They do run you , don't you? $110? I do love the Japanese arts. So lovely. You will have to keep us updated with your little guy's progress. Takes years, I think.
Yes it is a life long type of hobby... Folks have trees 50 years plus!
love bonsai trees

Thank you kindly. Here is a short vid I did of some sweet bonsai that really amazed me!! There is even a real apple tree! The most amazing thing is when you see how little dirt is used! Cheers!
that's amazing, i would love to have a mini apple tree lol
Nice job! I like the way you are training them! I have a tutor student who is in 7th grade who got a Bonsai at Christmas and is watering it and attempting to trim and train it. She named hers "Tom Tom".
Here's my post

Can't believe those prices but the trees are beautiful! I came up with some sort of nonsense about trees

I agree with the over pricing on the little trees. They do not take that long to get them to train. It just takes years for the trunks to thicken and look very ancient. I did some many years ago and really enjoyed it. I wish you good tree shaping on your venture.
Beautiful work @old-guy-photos I've always wanted bonsai trees but I am really good at killing plants and losing patience
