Great looking tree. Most of mine are only 2 years old. I have a long way to go to catch up with you. |

Harley, I was scared at first too but then I decided to start out by practicing on free saplings that appeared in my yard. That way if they died I wasn't out $50.00 from buying one in the store. I have several maples, elms, willows etc. It even got to the point I had to start looking to see if there was anything special about them before I saved them because I had to many. I will run out and get pics of my forest. |

Thank you all for the great response. If you have any more idea please convey me.This is my 15 years old ficus clant. I am doing Bonsai for 30 years. I just love it. I have more than 25 Bonais in my collection. All I do myself. Hope you all enjoy it. Attachments:  |

I'm planning on adding mine a little bit later, but I cant right now. Mine are NO WHERE near as good as anup's. I can use those as inspiration to keep working haha. Thanks for starting this thread. Ryan |

I'll be brave and share my YOUNG Bonsai's. For Harley, the first three are my little forest. These are all two or three year old saplings that I rescued from my yard. The next two are my favorites right now. The cluster one has gravel and a statue to go under the "umbrella" tree in the middle but I wanted to make sure they were going to survive transplanting before going that far. The last one is a money tree I bought last year. Attachments:       |

I assume those are Eastern Red Cedars I see? Correct? |

You folks are going to have to start giving us "how to begin" lessons. I don't know if you just start out with a little sapling in a regular pot, or do you start it out in the shallow dish. Do you start shaping it right away or do you clip it into shape after it gets big? Are there drainage holes in the shallow dish? |
