Jade Twin Trunk Bonsai

Current Image - July 2010
It took me a while to straighten up this plant, which was in cascading down as seen in last image. It was a challenge that it cannot be straightened up, and after two year of wiring, rewiring, it finally has worked in my favour. Alas, when i re potted in current pot, i planted it in a slanting way, for it appealed to me. Though, i am still confused, as what will be the final shape straight or slanted.

Last wiring - June 2010
Straight plant, clean twin trunk style.

Early 2010, guess, I was in a bad mood, i twisted the trunks around each other & named it Krishna.

Mid 2009 - the plant had straightened to a great extent after 1 year of wiring.

Mid 2008 - Plant after first wiring.

Original Image - Bought this plant in Mid, 2008

Adansonia / Boabab

Under training for more than 2 years. Seen beside is an image as on July, 2010. The white background is the outline of the canopy i plan to build for this beautiful tree.

Boabab can survive for 5000 years and the biggest one is in South Africa, which has a Beer bar inside its trunk, worth seeing.

It stores all the water it needs in its fibrous trunk & can go without water for months. An ideal plant for indoor bonsai during winters when it shed all its leaves & becomes dormant. No need to water for months at a go.
