Back for Chapter II of my Ficus Fusion Project with my Variegated Ficus Benjamina pre bonsai. She is coming along nicely, but I do run into a few issues getting the middle trunks to fuse tother as I want them too. And keeping the vigor equal in all three trunk lines is no easy task. Please enjoy the progression of the second trip around the sun of this little project. #Prebonsai #bonsaialaska #...

Second trip around the Sun with the Dwarf Meyers Lemon Prebonsai tree. Not quite as vibrant as the first chapter, but we got back to good health and ready to go for year 3. I hope you enjoy the process as I attempt to successfully grow this citrus tree as a bonsai up in Alaska.

Year two with the Ficus Microcarpa, Tiger Bark Ficus. The two #prebonsai trees get their own homes to continue with their individual journeys. I got the bonsai out into the Alaskan sun this summer in a portable green house or green tent, and one of them surely appreciate getting the midnight sun. They don't grow as fast out there, as Alaska nights are still quite cool. But the vibrants colors s...

Back for Chapter II with the Fukien Tea or Carmona Retusa PreBonsai. I was able to keep her much healthier this year, and even got her outside for some Alaskan Midnight Sun. She definitely appreciated that, I tell you what. High humidity and full sun exposure are musts for this little tree, and she is a voracious eater as well! Big thanks to @BlueSkyBonsai for his wisdom and insights on keeping...

Hello there, Started this Dwarf Pink/Red Powder Puff tree in March of 2023. I picked it up in Florida and took it all the way across the Nation to Alaska. I made a lot of mistakes in its first chapter here, and lots of lessons learned. It's tuffer than it looks, that's for sure. I hope you enjoy the first chapter of it's life here in Zone 4 AK (plant tag said Dwarf Red Powder Puff, Calliandra H...

I did not like the direction of my original air layered V. Ficus Benjamin, so I took the main trunk line with another air layer. Surprisingly, the air layer did not root as well as I had hoped. But see for yourself if she recovered. I hope to grow this into a very twisty and bendy tree, without any wire, when all is said and done. #beginnerbonsai #prebonsai #bonsai #baldyeti #ficusbenjamina #fi...

I failed to keep updates on this little Gollum Jade all year. But a full year later, and she is thriving. I give her a repot and send her along for 2024 (and probably beyond). #beginnerbonsai #bonsai #baldyeti #prebonsai #jade #jadebonsai #alaska #alaskabonsai #coldbonsai

Welcome back for Chapter II of the Olive Tree. My summer stayed cool again, so I kept it indoors the entire year. And under grow lights the entire year. See for yourself how happy it was. Lots of hacking to keep it in check. But I think it is starting to develop nicely. Did I get any back budding lower down? #alaska #beginnerbonsai #prebonsai #olive #olivetree #olivebonsai #baldyeti #mediterranean

I really have been enjoying a few citrus trees this last year. Very new to them, so this is a lot of fun, learning how they grow, and how to read them. This is a grapefruit tree, grown from seed. The leaves look like they will be a challenge later on as I attempt to keep it miniature, since they are double lobed. But that is ok, we can worry about that later. In the mean time, let's see if I ca...

Welcome back for a second trip around the sun with this Ficus Benjamina, growing up in Alaska. This year, I cheated and had it in a grow tent the entire year. The growth patterns are WAY different, that’s for sure. If you like seeing miniature trees being hacked on and whacked back with a healthy dose of root ball massacre, you’ve come to the right place. Please enjoy. #prebonsai #alaska #bonsa...

Trying to grow a citrus tree on the frozen tundra? Yep! First year with this Dwarf Meyer Lemon, and learning as much as I can. This tree is super vigorous, and lots of fun to grow. Chapter one is all about growing it out. #alaska #bonsai #prebonsai #tree #beginnerbonsai #lemontree #lemonbonsai #lemon #baldyeti

Got my hands on a couple Tiger Bark Ficus cuttings and thought I’d give them a go. I was pleasantly surprised at how low maintenance they are. In chapter one, I grow them out and observe their habits. #alaska #prebonsai #bonsai #tree #shrub #tigerbark #ficus #ficusmicrocarpa #beginnerbonsai #baldyeti
