Masterpiece
Hey all,
Wanted to challenge myself with a gross looking store bought mallsai. I bought is simply to experiment and try to make a convincing bonsai out of one of these nasty things. Bought this one today at Wal-Mart for $11 (I had a gift card, so it was actually free). I chose this one because it had growth down low on the trunk(s)(tubers). Next summer I plan on chopping down low on this and seeing what kind of back budding I can get from it. I also suppose I could remove some tubers, but I'm not sure which ones I want to remove as of now. But during the winter months, I am going to work on the aerial roots, as there are many growing now. Here is the tree:
