Atom#28's Little Christmas Tree Entry

[Atom#28]

The wife says "no more bonsai, Adam! You're an addict!!"
I say, "Ok. You're right....Oh hey, look! An adorable little Christmas tree for our daughter's room!"
4 year old daughter says, "ANOTHER bonsai, Daddy?!? Is that all you think about?"

Also: You get the weirdest looks from people when checking nebari on tiny trees in a busy grocery store!

Haha, about 12" ! Sorry for the deception In the trunk pics, you can barely see the little battery case: those are AA batteries

 

[PABonsai]

I was really close to getting one of those cause they were so cheap. Do they work well? If they do I want to go get some lol!

Nice trunk

 

[canoeguide]

I think I picked up one of the same species but with a slimmer trunk. Excited to see what you do with it!

Is that all you think about?"

[Atom#28]

Do they work well?

I have NO idea! I think I'm probably the greenest Nut here.

Haha, I got my first tree in July! Cheers, fellow noooob. I honestly feel like simply keeping a tree alive in a pot for 3 years will be an accomplishment for us.

Amen to that!
