The beer bottle (or can) Bonsai Thread

[jriddell88]

@thomas22 let's see some of your other trees too! Keep posting! Long as its beer ! My father drinks bud light so I find myself drinking them quite often

Here's a shaggy dog, insulTed her pretty.good this year, HBR pot into a trainer ,removed most of the top , the great dane went mad and almost destroyed it /broke a big branch in good location (currently wired tightly back into place and seems to still be alive.) , she's moving slow but she's alive. I think I'll let her rest until next season
This ones on the 5 year plan at least , but it's dramatic , which is.what I'm goin for. Still a little indecisive but in no hurry. I would love for someone to do some.Virts I like seeing others ideas. Im not too good at the technological computer art/photoshop . Usually.just doodle . I was awfully thirsty today though. Cant seem to get a good picture . Believe ill build a stand with neutral background tomorrow.

Cheers

That shaggy dog can hunt. Lots of potential. I have plenty of beers left my quality trees are dwindling.
This one is cheap material but I will give it some serious interest. May not be good but it will be interesting.

This is one of my shaggy dogs. This was actually my first piece of material ever purchased about 5 years ago. I did really good for a first tree but in an effort to get the pads nice and flat I sheared it. I didn't know any better at the time. I got a lot of juvenile growth and brown dead ends but is was worth the learning experience. Just now getting ready for work again.

@DariusB that is sick!! Show more ! Here's a procumbens I'm working on , trying to slam it down low and will be removing some branching and wiring out this summer . May do a couple more large bends on the trunk to try to get it down a bit lower .

No trees here in the hotel, but check out the differences in these two bottles. They were in the same six pack!

Too bad most of you can't get really old brown dog ale from Smutty Nose....touch over 11%.....

I believe I've seen some kind of Smutty Nose down here but it wasn't a brown ale. I really like a good brown ale.

Looks like the right choice for a wisteria in a "stout" cascade pot. Even the label colors look good with the tree. And the tree itself: fabulous!

Try and find the imported "Newcastle Brown ale".....the original brown ale.

I've tried Newcastle but I'm not sure if it was imported. Goose Island Honkers Ale is pretty good.

IPAs RULE!

This is one I like a lot, in my top ten. Keeping a red Chojubai company.

IPAs are definitely an acquired taste. I keep acquiring them but still don't like the taste. My search continues,, hiccup,, continues,, hiccup..
