Shohin_Prunus mahaleb_Blossoms_Well, just two or three to be fair :)
I do believe that the size of trees that goes over 60 cm is the most appropriate for bonsai. And this is why I still keep looking for trees of that size. At the same time though, I do realise that handling such trees could be a pain. (Well, to be fair, not necessarilly - I have a birch that is now over 95 cm and I can handle it quite easily, but it is a kind of exception). And it is not just about handling - the big trees need reasonably large space - and in my case this is another critical factor. You may add another point and that is related to the speed of development - "building" small tree takes usually significantly less time. Not important factor for me, but fair to mention here.
As a result and despite the fact I am a big fan of large trees there are more and more small trees that are invading my place. Like this small Prunus mahaleb. Collected in 2014 - with a lot of expectations that were gradually transformed into some kind of head scratching once I have realised there are more " challenges" than clear wins. Anyway, it was a great learning on the way to get it to this point.

Páči sa mi ta kôra na nej. Pekný stromček. Ked raz budeme starý tak budeme len malé robiť.
