Arnie, whether it is a ten dollar tree or a fifty dollar tree, the tree should live through the procedure, at least in the view of many.

Congratulations to all the winners.

Arnie, a special congrats for the #1 effort. Understand that my view on instant bonsai is a personal one. The person buying the material has the option to do with it as they wish. I would just rather enjoy the effort for years rather than just a few days. To each their own though.

Once again, well done.

John

It certainly would be a great visual learning experience for those of us who are less skilled.

Thanks John, and I genuinely respect your views.

The "effort" continues for as long as you own the tree, why not enjoy a more finished look then spend years happily refining and finessing it.

Take a look at this website, I shot the pictures for Kevin in the gallery, have a look in the workshop....many stage by stage "Instant Bonsai" to bring the red mist down!
