This Larix was collected in Slovenian Mountains around 2008, after many years in development its finally coming to look like a bonsai. The pot is by that fantastic British potted Bryan Albright. Standing approximately 35cm tall (Chuhin) this is my favourite size for bonsai. Some of the earlier images of this tree can be seen HERE

Well, bonsai are (according to Wikipedia) supposed to be “small trees that mimic the shape and scale of full size trees”. This one doesn’t qualify. It doesn’t mimic anything but one gnarl atop/after another.

I don’t, actually. But I agree with this one.

Looks like a lovely tree Tony! I can only imagine the excitement of your friend when he stumbled on it in the mountains.
