I thought I had a "progression" thread on this bad boy here at BNut, but a search didn't show anything - must have been another site - so I thought I'd post one for the amusement of all. Enjoy
Back in 2007, an old Korean woman near here was still trying the keep her deceased husband's bonsai business going. Years ago a number of bonsai candidates were put in the ground with the best of intentions, and over the years I would stop buy and pick one up.
By the winter of that year this honeysuckle had grown to a hugely obnoxious presence, crowding out much that was trying to live in her garden. When I balked at buying it, she begged me to just dig up and get out of there for free. I still wasn't keen to take on the challenge, but challenges are challenges, and I'm always hard-pressed to pass one by.
Finally, brutally, exhaustingly taken out of the ground, I got it home, put it in a container, crudely trimmed it, and took a few photos. Here are two.View attachment 64888View attachment 64889View attachment 64888View attachment 64889
