Little Nea

I entered a shohin tree in the Knowledge of Bonsai progressive competition.
The deadline is the end of this month so I submitted the final photographs. Here is the current status of the Nea buxifolia. It's in a Dick Reyerson pot. The full progression can be seen at (once Paul posts the final photos):

As it fills in and extends it will be ready for final show. Maybe in time for next years US National Exhibition.


Since the period of the competition was less than a year, it's not reasonable to get a finished tree, even with a tropical. So I made a virtual to show where I'd like the tree to go in the next year. Luckily this small tree grows fast so it should be achievable.

from the progression pics at KoB, its amazing what you did with a nursery stock =D

This is a really beautiful tree, Rob. Good job! Now regarding your virt, I would leave the canopy a bit lower and as broad as you show it.

Thanks a lot for sharing!

Looking good, Rob!

Very nice Rob, but I agree with Pitu...if it were mine, it would have a more rounded top...
