This may've already been said, but I keep wanting to turn this one 20-40º clockwise. Regardless, you've done well with this tree in a fairly short amount of time. Good work. (Keep looking for the pot.)

Solid growth. Better lighting. Better photo.

Well I’ve found it’s home for a long time. This is a slab planting made up of 4 pieces of flat moss rock collected in southern Colorado. Drilled and wired together with thick gauge copper. This tree will not be repotted for many years. I really like the pairing.

Damn, I love what you did with the stones. Very nice composition!

Thanks Dave. For a nursery stock tree. I’m pretty happy with the way it’s developed. And when planted on the rocks, gives it so much more of a natural feels.

Great progression on this tree. The rock really pulls it together. I also like the up an out nature of the tree. Plenty of old weathered trees like this in the desert. Way to resist the temptation to compress everything.

It looks amazing on that stone. The sedum is a nice touch.

Thanks guys. With bonsai just getting bigger and bigger and more and more wild from collected trees, it’s hard to resist parting ways with a relatively young tree started from nursery stock. I think with another 5 years and more Jin and Shari this tree will feel more and more wild.

I’ve been staring at this tree and deciding wether I still wanted it or not for some time now. The foliage is not my favorite and I’ve never been able to get the multi trunks to look right. I did something I had been pondering for sometime. This is a get rid of it, or make bold choices situation. I’ll go through now and clean up the foliage and wiring and more improve the Jin
