FYI - I posted the full album over on reddit in case any of you are interested in seeing some more pics. There are links in the post that show a lot more of the tree's history.Here's one I've owned since 2000, and it's the tree I've had for the longest amount of time that is still alive. This is a pic from a few days ago.
I've been growing it outside during the growing season and indoors for the winter since 2009. Prior to that, it lived in an office, and for a number of years was being taken care of by a co-worker while I was out on the road all the time.
This is what it looked like back in 2001 (earliest pic I have of it):
It was doing OK for a while, and was thriving reasonably well despite being 100% indoors, though I don't seem to have any photos of it from back then.
But then there was "the incident". There were probably 2-3 years in a row where I didn't see it at all, and a co-worker was looking after it, and this is how I got it back from him in 2009:
Getting this thing to recover and develop properly is probably my proudest bonsai accomplishment to date.
