Does anyone have shaped mastic-tree bonsai?


Hello Marija Hajdic,

Just found one yesterday, in a plastic pot, in one of my local garden nurseries.

Will repot mine today, using akadama, but will attempt to retain most of the present root ball intact.

Plan to style into a semi-cascade or slanting style.

Watering of this species seems to be very critical, and after having done various google searches find conflicting opinions, but opinion appears to be only once a month.

Hope to hear from you on how your tree is progressing, and what your watering programme is?

Can you supply a pic?

Best regards....Nigel
