American ash on Mediterranean ?!? No, this is flowering ash or mana ash (fraxinus ornus).

(although I agree the crossing branch is a drawback from this angle) pootsie __________________ p.s. My cat is a bonsaiTALK Master. Columbus Bonsai Society

I am glad to hear that you are waiting to do any major pruning and/or styling until they have had a chance to become accustomed to pot culture. Too many people rush on collected plants. Fantastic material, good thinking and great planning, thank you. Will Last edited by Will_Heath : 10-Jan-2005 at 03:33 PM.
