G'day Bert,

That's a handsome tree you have there, how tall is it and how long have you had it in your care?

A tad surprised to see it in such a shallow pot, I have a very small one but my pot is far deeper than yours, tho' the scale of tree to pot is good, just curious regarding the watering aspect, likewise what kind of ground/soil do you use?

Nigel

I think Metasequoia bonsai is very unique even in Japan. The balance of tree and pot is very nice and moss is also beautiful!

Bert do you have a greenhouse? You have the most beautiful collection of Bonsai trees. I don't have much luck with these plants but I still love them anyway.
