You had better have felt bad! *Shakes Fist* lol

I purchased this Privet 4 years ago (or so) for about £3 at the (Get a little plug iin here) Cheshire Bonsai Society Club Auction, held every 2 years

. It was already an established tree, in a very old brittle training pot, I potted it up into a giant red storage box with holes in the bottom and left it to grow for a few years, working on improving the canopy to appeal more to my eyes. This winter I potted it into the pot shown now (a Chinese import), and plan to work on the deadwood to get a bit more movement and natural look to it (Saving up for a proper router tool to do so).

Cheers
