My Chinese Elm and first bonsai. Got this guy in mid-late February of this year. I'm surprised it's fared this well with everything I've put it through. It's bouncing back though :proud:

I'll post pics of my Maple tomorrow, it's cheering up after its 2 day ride in a dark USPS box.

Yay!!

If it wasn't for it being night, I'd take some pictures..


I will take some in the morning!! I love your elm btw. The nebula is crazy.

Thank you! Was a great price for the tree too, guess it?

Also... nebari? :hihi:

Spell check, sorry haha.

Haha yeah, I've seen some embarrassing spell check errors. lol guess how much I payed? :icon_lol:

Oh man, I'm not good at pricing things, and I've never bought/shopped for a shaped bonsai before, just raw material.. so this will be bad but um $50??

chinese elms rock!!

so do Fukien Teas.. and shimpaku ..

Yeah, $55 shipped (give or take a few $) which was pretty sweet. THICK trunk!

Yea that is a nice deal! How tall is it?

11" or maybe a foot. Really nice. Can't wait until like September, this thing'll be chock full of leaves and new growth!

Hehe I know me too I cannot wait til this fall to see all the new growth on my bonsais also.

And this maple will have some nice red coloration too!

thats a nice tree.. where did you get that tree from online?

Takashima Bonsai on eBay

Awesome thread! Lets see some more pictures!!!

As I said in your other post, I took a break from the hobby when my trees ( only about 5) all died to to a series of unfortunate events. I just recently started getting interested again when I was asked to participate in a workshop at a local school. The stock was terrible though, but the lecture was good. Anyways, I'm too embarrassed of the current one I have to post pictures. But I will find a photo of a ficus I used to have.

Soon I'm going to see if I can find some decent stock at a local garden center an start some rudimentary training :D I need to buy more wire though :(

I'm thinking
