I never got round to introducing myself.
My name is David and live in Melbourne Australia. I'm 27 adore bonsai. We are considered to be in Zone 9-10. I have been involved in bonsai for about 4 years now. Someone bought me one and like Roboku I remembered the good old days on Karate Kid and Mr Miyagi's bonsai.

I was hooked when I received my first tree as a gift. Everyone starts somewhere. Books were my first place to turn to to learn about it. Very helpful. Then I came across a bonsai club about a year after Bonsai Northwest Inc and I have never looked back. That advantages of belonging to one of the best clubs in our state is awesome. It is the best because of its friendliness and great warm people. Since my arrival I have seen the club grow from an average 30 members a month coming to meetings to now (3 years later) pushing 70-80 members each month. I stand on the committee and help out wherever I can.

I have posted some of my trees on the gallery but simply could not list all my trees. Too many to count. I have thinned out my collection so that I could concentrate on my better trees. I find this has been vital to the improvement of my better trees. I also have a growing bed where seedling and other trees have been put down to thicken up.

Bonsai is part of my life now and my medication from software development which is my profession.

I look forward to contributing more and more where I can help.

The avator is a picture of my dog, Reece. He is a Maremma. Not many people would know this breed. Obviously I love and adore him.

My other passion is Star Trek and have been collecting the new DVD box sets that have been coming out of all the Star Trek seasons. Also have started to play golf which I love. Another passion is a PC game called Civilization 3.
