Was shopping at Canadian tire ( a hone depot type store) and then seen this in the cor er of my eye. Walked over and the only wanted 50 dollars
It was an accidental order. I couldn't let it sit in that pot and soil with a poor schmuck .. so I bought it . A new pot and some better bonsai soil and she is loving life.

I know alot of people dont like these or consider them bonsai but I really appreciate them .. I do plan on really shaping it and getting pads to develop. Approx 21 inch tall

Let me know what you think.

Interesting tree. Like the bark and trunk. It will be fun to see what you can do with it. Carry on!

Thank you im going to focus on getting the apex the right shape, right under the apex is a pad im not sure if i should blend them into one another and really float out the apex to the side.
Thanks for looking

Nice.
I would chop at the first branch and start a smaller tree....my $0.02.
i see exactly what your going for if i were to do that i would put it in a green house and get some crazy a$$ air roots growing and what not ....but i cant do it on this one lol once i get more trees i will hack and slash .. for now this ones just going to be a weird informal upright till i see what i can do with it lol if in 5 years it stay the same ill bring out the chain saw :p
