Welcome to My Bonsai

Finally solved the image size issue so now my blog will have an even larger focus on the images. Please see this excellent guuide if you are struggling with the same. A little CSS knowledge is not really required, but will do you good in the process, but it is really just cut n paste.

Old Tjikko & a collected smaller spruce

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picea_abies

While searching for species detalis on wiki i also found this interesting article about the worlds oldest "standalone" tree which is of the same species as my little spruce, well worth a look. 9550 years is pretty impressive I think. : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Tjikko. 

Pot by wallsall studios.

American sweetgum, sweet-gum, alligator-wood, American-storax, bilsted, red-gum, satin-walnut or star-leaved gum, or whatever you like ...

The only alligator tree left from last years sowing season. 

Not a very commonly used tree as bonsai is it : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquidambar_styraciflua

The slowgrowing beeches

Most bonsaiists I know have reported limited growth on all fagus species. Extremely slow growth on my beeches, spanning from spring and steadily producing leaves until mid-november. Strange. In addition these trees are tourniqated just below the soil for a better nebari in the future, so this may have added to en extra slow growth this year. Of all trees I have i find the beech to be the hardest to understand, but Im still hoping to crack the code. If only the temperature would keep as calm as now these trees may explode during the spring..  

Why keep? Why Not?
