This Was Almost Too Much Fun

For the past nine months I've been helping out some friends who have opened a new bonsai nursery in the DFW area. They're a mom and pop operation and don't have the time to work the trees to keep them looking good. They said they have a better chance selling them when they are in top form and don't need any pruning. They have a full type nursery selling not only bonsai but other type garden plants also.

It was an honor to be able to help style some of their awesome trees. I'll list them below.

A large ficus


A large azalea


Another large azalea


A large trident maple


A chinese elm that I need to spend more time on and work the crown a little more and wire that bottom branch somewhat.


Another large ficus.


A small azalea that's a bit bigger than shohin height.


And two that I had no part in their styling , but are quite awesome trees,
A white pine that I would simply love to own,


and a huge narrow leaf ficus.
