In the mid 1990's, an accident with a growing tractor, knocked off the top of the tree.
In May, 2003 it was offered on ebay. Last edited by Candy_J_Shirey : 24-Dec-2004 at 11:36 PM. |

I was the winning bidder and took possession of the tree. It arrived in June 2003, but the pot was broken into many pieces and the tree was a bit worse for the shipping.
I immediately repotted and did an initial styling. It survived the June repot. This tree has already had a share of unfortunate accidents but is now on a path toward a reasonable bonsai. Last edited by Candy_J_Shirey : 24-Dec-2004 at 11:49 PM. |

What was that Yogi? Wabi-Sabi all over again.
It's always nice to see material that was once the victim of an "accident" given a new lease on life. Good luck with it Candy, John

Ok... if anyone sees a woman, driving madly in a tracktor... Pick up your bonsai.... and RUN!!
Alternatively.. if she ram raids a nursery.. follow behind her and then pick up some raw material... and RUN!!!  |

Accidents DO happen!
Hi Candy,
Darn nice looking 'start' you've got there. I must admit that the post below, my P.Strobus (the tree that "can't be made into bonsai" is the claim from many) had a serious bought with some line men triming trees on an easment at my property line about 5 yrs ago. We had about a foot of snowand my bonsai were heavily covered. So much so that many were only 'stick's above the snow line. Well when I arrived home that eve I noticed the line of foot prints leading to my reserve. Devastation in the spring. I wired the tree branch 'back on' and it finally healed over a period of a few years. Now I think it adds a touch of 'design' to the compostition.
