There might be some seismic activity. Also consider, there is Mt Kanlaon, an active volcano.

LOL.<br /><br />JM - thanks for dropping by. Yes they are so costly if bought ready made. It is better to start from small and nurture it to greatness! That way you will be loving it much more for the bonding you did for life!<br /><br />b-a-g -- so you should start now, because you can only say it is a bonsai if it has been living that way for a long time. But i guess it is the most demanding for care and maintenance, i love them but can't attend to all their whims and demands.<br /><br />AB- a lot of plants can be made to look like bonsai, but a real pricey bonsai is the hardwood bonsai which are already very old. Ficus bonsai are easier to do, that's why most impatient gardeners use them! I have a hardwood before i planted from seedling, i had it for 8 yrs and then my mother forgot to water, dead!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044386271018560595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003023115854661475.post-50546724419609988812012-02-09T06:15:28.101+08:002012-02-09T06:15:28.101+08:00These are beautiful pieces of art!

Its very scarce to see fruit bearing bonsai.<br /><br />RYC on smog, it is not, its the fog that was low.

I, for one, murdered some which i painstakingly got from the wild or grow myself, and then a day of neglect let it succumb to oblivion!<br /><br />Bom - i haven't tried asking for the prizes in the commercial booth. How big are those your friend got? I am not particularly interested in Ficus bonsai, i want the hardwood or fruit tree bonsai.<br /><br />Betsy - thanks for your appreciation. I am sure you will not exchange a bonsai for a waterfall. LOL.<br /><br />Donna@GWGT - yes they look old, but they are usually older in looks than their real age. Making them look old is the purpose of most bonsai.<br /><br />George - I have one photo of a tamarind bonsai last year, also laden with mature fruits. It is actually more beautiful than this chico tree bonsai.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044386271018560595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003023115854661475.post-57838544657034810432012-02-08T02:28:33.731+08:002012-02-08T02:28:33.731+08:00Each of these bonsai plants are amazing.
