Just setting around my nursery for a few months didn't make that tree look good. You did that once you got it back. ;o)

Bonsainut: The background is a 3 foot by 4 foot canvas that I just painted a simple sky and prop it up when I want to take pictures of some of my trees. Unfortunately, some of my trees are too tall for the canvas, then I have to resort to a black velvet background. __________________ Carl L.

I did an ebay search for backgrounds. Seems there is quite a market for painted backgrounds. Also quite a few virtual baackgrounds. Thanks __________________ Keep growing,---'Nut Lethal Use of Farce

I have been letting my Ficus Retusa grow wild, since we had a very cold spring, and I defoliated it after bringing it outdoors from my tree house.

I just snapped this picture this morning.. Sorry for the bad back ground, but I have been busy teaching, and haven't had time to do a formal picture.
