Newest Bonsai
« on: September 17, 2015, 06:32:35 PM »
 


Couple weeks ago I was given a ficus bonsai to add to my bonsai collection by a good friend's Dad since he could not take his bonsai to his new assisted living  home with him, so decided to do a little work to it before I head up North for the weekend. I decided to keep his Dad's original vision he had for it of the 7 tree forest, and just improved upon it a bit by uncrossing some of the trunks so they don't cross over each other, and opened up the canopy a bit so it will promote some back budding up top. I've known my friend and his Dad the entire 40+ years of my life, so I'm really glad to be able to add one of his bonsai to my growing collection in my bonsai garden.

Nice one Steve...bit of nostalgia to go with your new addition...nice memories when "wandering through" your 7 tree ficus forest!
Thanks for sharing mate.
