Thanks! Sometimes it's enjoyable and sometimes it's a chore.

I appreciate it a lot as south florida doesnt get alot of representation on bonsai experiments, and you have a ton of cool trees on your channel. try to keep it going if you can, I'm a subscriber and a fan.

we have the climate but sadly not the culture. In miami, people are more interested in hedonistic hobbies than bonsai. I'm still shocked at the growth I have achieved in my junipers in just 1 year, and density.

And decided to do it. I’m trying something different with my cuttings, hoping for a better future nebari.

This is the cutting in the last picture from this post three years ago.

Wow. Very cool. I’m getting a ficus microcarpa tiger bark (curved trunk) from Wigert’s next month.

My grandma what big leaves you have! I intend to prune it hard and get some wire on it for the winter but just haven't had the time. It's getting cold over the next week, I'm sure more of the older leaves will start yellowing. I'd guess it won't be this green until next spring.

I decided not to wire it since I am too busy this school year to check the wire often enough. So I cut it back pretty hard and will let it run until late summer next year.
