Merry Xmas to me ! Thanks, George Muranaka ! Buy yourself a Xmas bonsai !

[davetree]

Here is my Xmas present to myself this year. Each year I try to reward myself for all my hard work and this is a nice pine from George Muranaka. It has interesting movement, which I like in all my trees. It's about 15 inches tall with a two inch trunk. Black pines are one of my favorites, they grow well just about everywhere, even in Minnesota ! I encourage everyone on the forum to buy themselves an Xmas bonsai because you all deserve it.

Great Xmas bonsai!! It would look so much better with some lights and tinsel, maybe an angel on topl. Merry Christmas, Dave.

Santa's bringing me a hawthorn from Zach Smith at Bonsai South.
Will post a picture after it arrives.

I have a 49 inch tall trident and a little wiggly JPB. On the way. Built a box for the trident today that measures 30x30x16. The weight on the fedex tracking is 115lbs. Anybody want to help me repot this thing?

Well, I told the little missus that Davetree said I should buy myself a Christmas Bonsai ! She had some choice words for me to relay to Davetree that would probably not be suitable for the forum.

Very nice Christmas presents everyone! Not sure if I qualify. I got this but I will not have it for a little while. What can I say Santa has had trouble going down my chimney lately. So a delayed Christmas present for me.
