Florida Bonsai Tour

I teach several study groups in  Florida a few times a year.  Here are some of the trees that we worked on.

We made major cuts and shortened larger branches last year, then bare-rooted and repoted it.  This is how it looks before another major work.

We cut off  more branches and then repoted it again to try to encourage more roots for better nebari.
