| Rosemary - September 2016 |
It has spent most of its life in its current pot, which has a diameter of 20cm (±8 inches). As a result the trunk still only measures 1.5 inches across the base. That's alright for me though because I like to keep most of my trees small.
The trunk has quite nice character:

Unfortunately I'm finding it really hard to develop a good branch structure on this tree and some members of my club have dismissed it as a lost cause.
I'm not ready to give up yet. Perhaps a good trim will help with back-budding. Then again, in this case it may not.
Hi there Gina145. I have two rosemary trees in refinement. I think rosemary make great bonsai. However, you have to mold to rosemaries growth pattern and not rosemary to how we treat conifers and ficuses. Ill post some pics on google+ and tag you on it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ivan. I'd love to see more developed trees before I move any further with this one. It's been a long time since I trimmed it because I got quite a thrill when it flowered for the first time.
