Blue Spruce Bonsai

This grafted spruce is being trained over volcanic pumice stone. The picture is from when it was on display in Lee's Japanese Restaurant. When displaying an outside tree indoors it is important not to let it over stay, outdoor trees need to be outdoor to survive. For the winter most outdoor Bonsai trees need protection from the deep freezes and harsh winter winds.

So as winter is sure to arrive, protect theose tree so they will survive.

African Jade Bonsai Tree

Here is one of my larger Bonsai. This is an african jade also know as elephant toes. Most of  my trees are outdoor Bonsai, though this one can't be allowed to freeze. Many of the trees that you see in the malls this time of year are tropical bonsai, so if you are considering purchasing one or  more, then take the time to learn what your new tree will need to survive.

 I collected this tree from Hawaii about 10 years ago. When it arrived from the islands the container and plant was badly broken. The original planting was in a large piece of lava, it was repotted and trained in cascade. Estimated to be 25 years old.
