Bonsai Tree Pictures
Not taking enough bonsai tree pictures was one of the biggest mistakes I made, in my early bonsai days. To see changes over the years is amazing. Sometimes we don't realize what a difference our years of work have made.
I was so anxious to get started, I have very few "before" shots.
Your photographs can be lessons in themselves.
My advice: Take pictures!
If you have some, add your pictures on several different pages of this site:
Buttonwood (Conocarpus erectus) ...
Bahama Berry (Nashia inaguensis) ...
Fukien Tea (Ehretia microphylla ) -Carmona ...
Dwarf Jade (Portulacaria afra) ...
Each of the above bonsai have their own page.
Space to add other types of bonsai trees is shown below.
If you have before and after pictures, please share them. They are everyone's favorites!
When submitting bonsai tree pictures, you have an entire page! Include up to four photos and tell us all about your bonsai.
And don't miss what others have contributed at the bottom of this page.
