Herbal Bonsai

I have his book at the store but sorry to say I have only browsed through it.

I kept a Rosemary as bonsai for 14 years. And am working with a small one now for several years. The trunk and some branches will get shaggy bark and look very old in a short period of time.

Rosemary needles reduce very well in size and contrary to what I have heard that it will not back bud, it does so very well and will fill in on old wood.

Lemon Verbena is another one with a woody trunk and branches. I have just started working with it.

Never let Rosemary dry out, keep it at least damp.
