Is that as large as the leaves get? They're tiny!

I've found that the leaves on buxux japonica bonsai get smaller over time. At this time they may be near helf the size that they were when the boxwood was collected several years ago. A lot of pinching involved in the process.

Bonsai and Fake trees are really good option to decorate your home and make it green.And talking about garden I think , even in garden you can show your creative ideas with the help of fake trees.

Mike,

Very nice. Any plans to do carving on the large branch on the left? I like the carving on the sumo trunk. Looks very natural. I assume this is collect from an old hedge. Any idea how old it is? A 16in. base I would think that it would easily be 100+ years old.

Thanks for posting.

Ann, I think you just open yourself to a put yours up.

As to Mr Pages honesty, well he is well known in the forums here for more than a few years, if he says it's not tenuki, it's not. Why would you jump in and toss that out??:rolleyes:
