Well, I've lurked on this group long enough. I've posted pictures of my
feeble potensai and welcome your comments.

None of my trees qualify as true bonsai, but they may be someday. I do
have one tree that I purchased from Dan Tullius, and it is quite nice, but
I can't take credit for that one.

Anyway, I invite you to look and comment as you see fit.

Thanks!

Bill,

You must keep us posted on that willow airlayer. You also could have
heaped about a yard or so of topsoil around the trunk and made it a
groundlayer. Life often presents us with multiple options, doesn't it?

Regards,

Gary

Gary,

Interestingly, that willow tree had been injured some time in the past,
just below where I layered it. When I started hacking on it, I discovered
that it had tried to air layer itself! There was a plethora of roots that
had burst out underneath the damaged bark, but it was just too high above
the ground, and they dried up and died back. Interesting.

I like messing with willow trees, but I seem to be in the minority. I
can't find many examples of willow bonsai to pattern mine after.
