A most welcome birthday present!

In January 2005 I got my bonsai from my friends Andreas and Marilena. The card which came with it read "my friend, this is your new hobby..." And this is how it all started!

This blog will be used to show the progress of this first tree of mine, as well as the new trees that will be added to my collection in the future.

My first tree is a Zelkova. I currently water it once a week and add general purpose fertiliser bi-weekly.

When I first got the tree its branches were all bundled together with wire. My first operation on the tree was to remove the wire and to start observing it. The day I removed the wire it looked as in the picture below:

Just after wires were cut
