Started out as not much more than a twig, years later, it's become 2 very decent bonsai.. imho..

Because it was air layered.
The tree we're talking about grew in the shadow of another plant, this means almost no sleeping buds at the bottom of the trunk. No bonsaist I know of started with material like this.
