This one we had a bit of trouble with, 1st we had a "thrip" problem and some die back as benji's are prown to do, but it come through it OK. I am pleased with the leaf reduction, I would have liked more leaf on it at this stage, however we are lucky to have any. we are going to keep this one and see how well thw canopy develops, maybe even lower the apex a little.

good luck everyone

One of the fabulous things about growing bonsai is as you get old and decrepit your trees get old and beautiful
