Grandpa's Bonsais




In this next bonsai Grandpa tried to imitate nature by having a branch that was dead from maybe getting struck by lightning. He talked about how we all have our own scars that stay with us throughout our life, but they are also what make us unique and ourselves. 


Redirecting branches.






You can see all the precise pruning that has been done on this tree in order to keep the shape.


This is the tree that came to my grandpa half dead.
