MY New Tree

So there I was enjoying  a little morning sun
when Mom comes outside and tells me Dad bought us a new tree. I am thinking "great - we need some more shade in MY yard".  Then she comes back with the tree - "WTD - you have got to kidding right Mom - no way is that going to give us any shade!"  Then she tells me it is 4 years old - (that is older then the Dweeb!!!)  She said it is a Chinese Elm and that is won't grow any bigger than it is because it's a Bonsai. Bonsai Smonsai I am thinking -  I just gave her "the look' and said "Mom - you need to feed this thing mega doses of fertilizer or something because it isn't even going to shade my nose"

  3. You got a Bonsai Smonsai, why there is all sorts of superstition that connects with those. And why is blogger telling me I spelled superstition wrong? Bad Blogger. As I was saying I read some of the stories at the Krohn Conservatory where they have a room full of them. Take very good care of the stunted tree.

  8. It is gorgeous. SHE gave up on getting a Bonsai when SHE found out you've got to take them out and trim the roots every year. We need things that grow with neglect. Hence all the oleanders in our garden.

  13. Mom had one of those for a while, but watering it properly turned out to be a bit of a challenge for her. I think next time, you'd better supervise the choosing of the tree so you can get some decent sun protection!
