My first thought was, keep this tree alive. So I repotted it immediately into my favorite bonsai soil mix


So seriously, where do you start?

This is the tree that was given to me. It is a HUGE bougainvillea, estimated to be over 50 years old. This tree took a lot of thinking before I could begin working on it. Oh and it has a lot of thorns (ouch!)


Just a mess of crossed branches

Well what can I say? I just purchased this tree from Clif Pottberg in Dade City. Just to give you some idea of the size of this GLORIOUS tree, it is taking up about the entire bed of my Explorer Sport-Trac. I must say this was one of the most exciting moments in my bonsai life. Look for more about this tree as I begin to work on it through out the years. Feb 2007
