Spring wake up.

Spring wake up.
I can not move this tree on my own close to 45 kg a two man pot. I have been quite hard on this I have not let it grow long leaders. its in a good shape so it really bring out the detail. this year is tackle the small tree to try and mimic the big tree. I am sorry I had no choice but the shed as a background I could not move it on my own and Clara was asleep ( great grandchildren) hence high F stop. this is starting to get what I had in my mind in front of me. 650mm pot 600mm high. the PIPS show the parent hood of this combination... enjoy.

Looking good, Steve, and it's interesting to see the source of the rock and seed. At some time I shall have to consult you about bonsai maintenance. :-)

George if I can help in any way I am more than willing. when we sold the house we came away with some 7 trees that grew from seed from this street tree, which no longer looks like this any more just looks like a normal street tree.

Was not the Background I would have use but I was totally unable to move the pot on my own. I did manage to get the shot before it rained. Glad you like it.
