Fruiting & Flowering Bonsai 8/4/16

p3

Did that huge apple really grown on this small tree? I'm positive it's an apple tree and as you can see, that's most certainly an apple. What we don't know for sure is, if that apple actually grew on this tree, though it could have. Or if it was glued on (it could also be photo-shopped, but I don't think it is).

There’s something a little off about putting your logo on photos that don’t belong to you. In a world with more than enough serious crime and corruption, this practice barely registers. But still, it’s questionable at best.

You can assume that the photos are not attributed, though it’s possible (I can’t read the text), but I seriously doubt that anyone who would put their logo on a tree that doesn’t belong to them, would bother to attribute.

All this begs the question… why post these trees? The answer is, I like them. Plus it provides an opportunity to bring up attribution and honesty on social media and the internet in general.

I've seen this tree before, but can't remember where, or what it is. It's even possible that it has appeared here on Bark. Mea culpa for the fuzz. The original is very small and I think you still get the essence in this blown up version.

This sweet little maple is neither fruiting nor flowering, so we'll consider it an outlier.

I've always loved quince flowers.

I would recognize this little Rhododendron anywhere. It belongs to Morten Albek and appears in his Shohin Bonsai book (out of print) and on his blog.
