There was only one entry for the February BotM. I will anounce the name of the winner, on the 29th, though most already know who won...

Oh well, I think I'll vote for Matt's tree anyway.

I considered putting up one of my trees so there would be a choice, but if it won I would feel bad... Matt being so young and all...

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
