Anyone interested in Bonsai?
Here is my 12 year old Elephant tree...

Your mini-phant tree is perfect. A verygreen friend sent me a how-to-Bonsai book three years ago and I didn't quite 'get it' with what we have to
work with in BCS. You have now inspired me.
Follow-ups in a few years....

This one took off when I hit it with Miracle-Gro. 
Okay, I admit it was not ever an elephant tree.

Your bonsai is beautiful.

My feeble bad, Richard...you know my humor. Your little tree is cute. I like it a lot..honest.
Here's a nighttime story for you to tell it.
Title of story: "And the wives fight back......."
Underwear Dust
One evening a husband, thinking he was being funny, said to his wife 'Perhaps we should start washing your clothes in Slim Fast. Maybe it would take a
few inches off of your butt!'
His wife was not amused, and decided that she simply couldn't let such a comment go unrewarded.
The next morning the husband took a pair of underwear out of his drawer. 'What the Hell is this??' he said to himself as a little 'dust' cloud
appeared when he shook them out.
'April,' he hollered into the bathroom, 'why did you put talcum powder in my underwear?'
She replied ...'It's not talcum powder......It's 'Miracle Grow'

rplegar, cool tree. ...do you water it all year, if so does it stay leafed out all year? ive wondered about native desert trees when "domesticated"
do they follow the same cycles of their wild counterparts....

pacificobob ...
I just water it along with the rest of the yard...It follows some of natures patterns in that it looses all it's leaves from time to time...I prune it
back when it needs it and water...It has to be outdoors in the sun...half sun in my case.
