Hey Nigel ! Just wanted to say hi from france. your are my favorite bonsaï master. You are awesome because : You dont have 95% of pines, you have lot of différent stuff. You dont have 95% of 1meter+ bonsaïs. And mostly important you have a very very accurate sens of propotions, wich is more difficult on smaller trees ! I love very small trees , most of my bonsaïs are small. i hope one day i'll do as good as you. Keep on the good work ! cheers🤩

I started a cutting of what i think is Pussy Willow (named after the flowers) 2 years ago, and it leafed out super tiny with leaves half an inch long. It had a lot of roots when I transplanted it. I root pruned it reasonably and this year it leaved out like a miniature version of the mature leaf shape! So I decided I will style it like the arctic willows that slowly spread along the rocks and lichen! Some day it will flower and the planting might look like a meadow with a bunch of Mullein growing in it lol.

I like the style that willow is taking on! I'll have to watch you moss the Bog forest tomorrow. Work alarm 4:30am....

Thanks Nigel!

Hi Nigel it's a sweet little tree. But for me that left horizontal branch is very distracting and I myself would remove it completely. Personal taste only!

[@harrietb2141]

So much movement in a compact design

Cool it is native tree to Sweden and the name comes from the northernmost area called Lapland (Lapponum) where it was first described in 1720 by a Swedish botanist. Your speciemen is less downy/hairy than those I seen but maybe due to variation or environment? 😃
