I have wait so long for this tree to develop. The tree was originally grafted in April 2004. Finally it will be display at this years Bonsai Societies of Florida annual convention held over Memorial Day week end. I think it has filled in enough and looks balanced and healthy and it should make a good showing. If you get a canhe stop by and take a look.

The Bunjin cypress really needs a good trimming, however the light green against the dark brown gives a really nice Zen feel.

I really wish I could keep this tree in doors all the time. It just fits so well and looks great in that corner.

Probably the worst place to place a tree because the heat dries out the bonsai so quickly. However it looked good for the night.

Many of the trees that I have been working on over the winter are now putting out new growth and I wanted to give you an update on the way they look now.
Leafed out
Of all my trees the one I am enjoying most is this crepe mrytle. The crown of the tree from the new top I developed is looking great. I just need a mid branch on the left side and this tree is ready to go. However the pads looking a bit flat so this year I plan to work on the taper and overall thickness of the branches themselves. This tree won’t be this bare when it is completed, Right now I am just building the skeleton structure, but it will be this year that this tree becomes a finished bonsai.
It was cut down to a short trunk and allowed to bud out. Crepe myrtle had been shortened dramatically and repotted.
The graft were sealed with this paste
Mike Rogers and I grafted a dwarf crepe myrtle to a crepe myrtle. The branches of the dwarf crape myrtle were thread-grafted through the crepe myrtle.
The dwarf crepe myrtle is shown behind in the white pot.
