Other bonsai's in progress

The boganville and wheel flower tree bonsais given below. The bogan ville plant was thrown out by my neighbour, and I saw it in the street, and given a life,  it has started to develop a nice bonsai with lot of flowers, I wish my neighbour should see this now.


Few other banyan samples

I have started to grow few other banyan trees. The pics given below. The first one is the original banyan tree sapling. The second one is the related species, while buying it was air layerd, the top portion was cut and started to grow nicely now (thrid pic)

Banyan sapling


The twin brothers - Guava tree update

This five year old guava tree was air layerd and the top portion of the tree was planted separately. It is growing now very well, with more leaves and surprisingly it has started to flower and grow fruits.

individual trees

Update - 3rd April 2011

The pics of bonsais were taken recently and posted below. The banyan bonsai was removed from the bigger pot, and potted into the flat plastic tub, since I was not able to get a bonsai pot in that dimension and length, also please note the aerial roots, I am trying to create an illusion by planting two similar saplings, they will joined to the main tree later.




Amla tree













The following tree was taken as a few weeks older sapling from my work place, and potted in a bigger pot. The tree developed a side branch and the upper part was dead, the side branch grown vigorously, I was continuously prunning the side branch. Now with excellent ramification the branch has given a complete shape to this tree, also note the nebari (bottom of the trunk), which is developing nicely.
