    Bonsai?

    Bonsai?

    Just for fun, this is the starting point for the tree in the original pic. Day 1 when I brought it home....it has come a long way

    Bonsai?

    @LotusEater , you mentioned bringing your juniper out too early being the cause of it's demise. This is my winter set up, outdoors, and shielded from the wind but that is all. Worked well for me.

    Bonsai?

    Bonsai?

    I have books from several different authors. A great youtube channel is from Peter Chan, excellent tutorials.

    Took a ride a few hours North to my brother in laws place in New Hampshire yesterday for some family BBQ time. Figured I would crack a tin of some aged Balkan Sobrani for the occasion.
