A little trim, wire and branch adjustment today with guy wires. Potentilla are very underrated – bark is cinnamon coloured and flaking, wires very easily (pliable, bark naturally protects branches), small leaves, flowers in Summer (this one has yellow flowers) and twigs up very easily. Merry Xmas to everyone on the sub 🎅🎊🎁

Really nice work! How long did it take you?
Still think it’s wild that a genus with mostly strawberry-like weeds can grow into a bonsai like this
Wowza, lovely.
Probably one of the best potentilla bonsai I’ve seen,fantastic work!
Love a good potentilla, and this one is stunning!
Have you tried removing the bark? It’s the best part!
