If you look at the original bonsai fuchsia thread, you'll note how big these guys got from their original size last October. And I have to confess that using 'Preston Guild', my personal favorite, was probably a mistake. It is going to need a very large bonsai pot when it is time to wire the root ball and transplant him.
I had my first big disaster with 'Preston Guild', one of the major branches snapped because I tried to bend it too far, too fast. I left a stub because I want to see what I can do with what it produces before I go and cut it off. For now, it looks awful. We'll see what happens with it. This time I remembered to take a before photo! This is before.
