Three Trees from the common


I took these three small samplings from the local woods with the intent to grow and sculpt them into small trees or bonsai trees. i put them in individual pots with a mixture of manure, soil and gravel. Placing some moss around the top to hold moisture which i found growing around the area i dug them up. i placed them in a shady spot and watered them regularly. This is was my second attempted at growing a tree as the year before i failed to grow a oak sapling, so i was determined to get these through the winter. i also bought a 5 year old bonsai from the garden centre, which after a disagreement over where it should live and over watering is also now dead.
