I started this Bonsai at the beginning of launching Bonsai Palace Pty Ltd, 21 years ago. Taking a cutting from a parent Bonsai, this miniature tree has weathered many storms, hot summers, dry periods, trims, cuts, repots and feeds. One thing it rarely needs is pest control as pests don’t attack these Bonsai, probably because they do not produce fruit, only blossoms.

Letting a Bonsai tree be a tree is fun. I have allowed this Bonsai to grow in it’s own way, styling it very little and letting nature and sun direction provide a unique style. It’s not perfectly shaped but perhaps the new parents will make it more styled, that is an individual's choice.

The ground cover is called Baby’s Tears and the Japanese Rock Violets have sprouted around the surface. In winter they burst into bright blue flowers whilst the branches remain bare. Plums are deciduous trees and will lose their foliage in our Perth winter.
