Allow me to introduce Albert. He's an alberta spruce from basic nursery stock and just started his bonsai training with a light trim to make his trunks more visible. Next spring I'll style him in earnest and put him in a hexagonal pot that I've been eager to use :D

Wow he looks big just be sure not to cut off to much at once beautiful tree.

He's about two and a half feet tall, and I'm going to keep him at about that height; He'll be one of my largest bonsai, and certainly the tallest

Have you done a flowering bonsai like a wisteria or a crepe Myrtle?

#### Waspinator replied on 2025-08-19

My fukien tea tree does little white flowers, but i haven't done any showy ones yet. I was thinking I might train a wisteria once i have room for one
