a tiny slice of nature, its leaves are about to open as a blanket of moss forms. .

Slanting Crabapple Bonsai

Here is a crabapple that I collected from the side of a road a couple years ago. I am surprised that it already looks this good. This plant throws out buds in the strangest places! Even a root sprouted buds so I turned it into a seperate plant, a clone of the parent tree. Sadly no blooms this year. I guess the tree needs mature branches. I've been looking around in the wilderness for more of these and I have discovored quite a few. I'll see if I can get some or them, if they aren't too large to dig up ;)

winter barberry

i love this plant

Here is a winter image of my crabapple tree, one of my favorite trees. In the spring this baby will be covered in flowers. Right now its forming buds. Stay tuned for more images of this one because it develope quite quickly. I need to remove the rock and find a darker rock. I'd also like to buy a much nicer pot.

American Apple Bonsai Fall Colors

This is what happens to some plants when temperatures begin to drop. This time last year the plant looked much different. I never saw any fall color because I had chopped all its branches off. Next year I am hoping for fruit. If it does fruit I am gonna make a tiny apple pie.

There's a rock now in the design. The rock comes from a strange and mysterious creek bed. Here is an older picture of the same tree, before all the chopping and bending that took place in the past two years.
