This tree was a leftover from a workshop at the Hawaii Bonsai Convention. I got it cheap, so its good practice material.
I've read about this, but never actually tried it....now I have![Smile :) :)](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png)
And now it fits into a shallow pot.
I will shorten all the branches as soon as the tree pushes new leaves. I may lose a couple branches due to the chop.
I have no idea what this is? My g/f brought it home about a year & a half ago & has been asking me to do something with it (the darn thing wouldn't die) I will call it the kiss-butt tree. I figured i'd try to soften the blow when she sees the jbp I brought home.
This thing wanted to be a cascade.
BUT, I wanted to impress her (like i said, to soften the blow) so I stood the tree up & even wired a couple branches. Heck, I dont even know if it'll survive (i chopped the hell out of its roots) I just needed it to stay alive until she got home.....it worked!....I think?
Ok, you all can stop laughing now![Smile :) :)](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png)
