Christmas?

Bonzi?

We live in the south, they are Bonzi not Bonsai. Pronounced with a strong bond’sā€eyeā€

Oh, ok

🤣

Looks like a redwood, but I don't know the first thing about bonzi trees.

You got it!

Planting a bonsai aka bonzi is the easy part. Keeping it alive, manicuring it, trimming the roots, giving it the right amount of nutrients and water, and all this outside of the species’ natural range… good luck ser ✊

Thanks. I’m going to need it.

Nice šŸ¤™

The big ones are a sight to see. Hope you'll post some pictures as it grows.

That's definitely a low time preference activity.

the image quality of this is sooooo sharp 🤯

Nostree

Bonzi scheme

🤣!!

Grand fir?

Nope

Bamboo

Darn you and your two hours jump start 😹

Spruce?

Nope

Damn

Is it a yew tree?

That’s a coast redwood

That’s marijuana

Susie!

I have about 8 of them on the balcony, i’d recommend putting it into a bigger flower pot for a couple years. It needs more root mass to thicken up the trunk. 🌲

I’ve read that I should do that. So how long do you keep them in the larger pot? 1 Year?

It should gain roughly half an inch trunk thickness per year of growing in a flower pot. This one grew from seed, is about 3 years old and it’s about 1.5 inches at the base of the trunk. If you’d like to put it back into that green bonsai pot I’d say a year would be good. The flip side is you will need to prune roots to fit in back into a small pot, the timing must be right, before spring and be careful not to cut too much root as it can stress the tree.

rosmarin

Nope

Pinus

nope

Is that Juniper?

Nope. But that’s a good guess.

Money tree?

It’s a Bonzi Scheme!

Wattle they think of next?

Looks like a pine tree. Am I right?

looks like maybe a dawn redwood

Italian stone pine

Dawn redwood

"Bonsai", ser. Not to be confused with "Banzai".

Is this your Bonzi scheme?

Based! šŸ‘

Taxus? There are so many types though, European or Japanese Yew?
