Some new trees.

[QuintinBonsai]

An olive, a pomegranate, and a smoke tree.

My favorite of the 3 is the Smoke Tree. Thick trunk, nice movement, and it smells like a pine.


The pomegranate needs more growth, but I like the nebari. (Or maybe they're just radial roots at this point?)

And here is the olive. I think it's pretty good for $10. There are two branches near the top that cross each other. I'm not sure if I want to cut one, or hold it away from the other with a stake of some sort.

Those are some good looking pre- bonsai. Please keep us updated as you work on them.

I am not familiar with a smoke tree... Do you know an alternate name of the scientific name?
