Dragging an old thread up, I started doing Bonsai when I lost the end of my finger at work and was off a while, Was bored so bought a couple of small threes, Nothing happened for weeks! :)

Now I have too many trees for the space in the garden so many are on the ground!

A couple of Larch that I took in autumn last year just before the foliage dropped..

I just sold this Juniper at the Bonsai Experience in Doncaster as it played my arthritis up each time I had to move it!!
It was 36" tall and 42" across the foliage, A chap was going to come from Newcastle on Tyne to buy it from me, I asked what vehicle he was coming in, It was a BMW series 1, I had to tell him that it wouldn't fit in, It only just fitted in to my Seat Altea!!

These were self set Ligustrums (Privet) that just appeared in a pot that was left at the edge of the garden, I wired them and removed small branches that weren't needed..

This was a small patio Acer that was very sparse, I potted in to the dish and wired it, It's coming ok now..
