RE: Anyone into Bonsai?

thanks,just a few from my collection.

my advice would be to seek a bonsai nursery local to you....least you wont be buying a tree thats half dead before you even get it home Smile

Wax on, wax off... excellent!

Mrs. P likes her Bonsais but unsuccessful in growing.

Lovely. Nice work there. I love to look at bonsai, but don't trust myself to actually do it.

Love the British Oak. I like the traditional bonsai trees, but I love seeing the results of people using plants native to their areas and not just the traditional plants.

In Australia I've seen great results with native fig trees like Port Jackson Figs.
