Height 220mm, Width 200mm
Obtained Feb 2011.
Was placed on a throwout pile on night at the School of Bonsai, by another member who did not want it. It had been collected from somwhere and shoved into a pot with a little soil and the ignored.
It was in a poor state, But i liked the trunk line so took it home.
Waited a few months for it so show signs of life, then repotted into a plastic basket with Diatomite and Zeolite. Started to look liek recovering so trimmed and wired branches to start to get into shape about the start of spring and then repotted into the growing pot a few months later.
