Little bugger went into the ground today, and at the advice of my local bonsai nursery, It will remain there until spring 2007 - if not Spring 2008, and if it survives will be quite a nice tree. I am going to start next weekend 2 more root-over-rock trees. One a Ficus, the other a Trident maple, or maybe an elm. I have quite a nice Elm sitting in the garden that I bought as Nursery stock last year that would make a nice shohin R-O-R. It has been a month since I started, so hopefully it will survive the transfer. I'm not going to prune, chop anything for several years - just leave it.
Anyway, here be pics. I also cannot expect any more growth until september - but hopefully the roots will like me.
