Re: My Bonsai.
You have some nice ideas and some nice trees there, Dumper!
If you are not killing plants, then you are not extending yourself as a gardener..

Re: My Bonsai.
It's always great to see what everyone is upto thanks for posting them. Some of them look like they will be alot of fun to work with.
I have collected a few trees that I guessed where hackberry but was never sure. I now believe they are celtis australis like the one you posted. I went off them a bit as I noticed hackberry are one tree that is often not allowed to be transported interstate. In fact one of them is a oh are you still alive tree I spose I can give you some water
One I have used as fodder for a root over tree or strangler fig setting as suggested by Lennard Webber.
I may consider another if I find a nice one to collect but this species does not seem to have the same appeal of the hackberries I have seen from international bonsai people. What do you know about them?

It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.

Re: My Bonsai.
Dumper - a nice selection of trees, with good variety. I was a bit like you and was a member for a long time before posting anything but now I'm addicted.
One rule - don't post Fuschia bonsai. Reason - if my wife see's it she will won't one!!!. Just joking.
