One of my first trees — Chinese Sweet Plum (Sageretia), about 5 years of development


I started learning Lingnan bonsai in March 2020, and this tree is one of the survivors from my very first batch of collected material.

This Chinese Sweet Plum (Sageretia) was collected in October 2020 in southern China. The last two photos show how it looked when it was first collected as a stump.

The first photos show its current stage after about 5 years of development. It is far from perfect, and there are still some beginner mistakes visible, but this tree has witnessed my learning journey.

Still working on improving branch structure and ramification in a Lingnan style direction. A long road ahead, but I enjoy every step of the process.

Thanks for looking, and any advice is welcome.

    Wow I love the look of this tree. Reminds me of an old gnarled tree in a horror movie
