Where I used to live there was a old Juniper that me and my son turned into a Bonsai and that was 34 years ago and it was there before that so I don't really know how old it is. And I found out very quickly that I was allergic to Junipers.🤣👧💚💚but I had so much fun doing it . It had five pads. Thank you again so much for sharing your skills.

    I fell in love with olives. I have a couple of them.
    Their trunks look old even when they're young and the leaves are ideal in size. They can go days without watering even in midsummer. They grow compact leaf pads....
    The only downside is that they grow slowly and need special placement in winter.

      @loupgarou95 Před 3 lety +1

      Topiary is the name for trees and bushes that are trimmed into decorative shapes. The movie Edward Scissorhands has scenes of topiary shaping. Not inherently an insult, but topiary is considered less sophisticated than bonsai because it doesn't focus on the line of the trunk and branches so much as the shape of the foliage.
