Last week you saw the before picture, now here's the after - 1 transplant, 1 repot, 1 angle change, and 3 years of healthy growth later! In addition to revealing the Risky Rose's evolution, this week's blog article also explores fundamental needs of any bonsai and how we can think about influencing those equations for life safely when performing drastic bonsai operations.

Now 3 years into it's life as a prebonsai, this discarded rosebush has recovered from its abandonment. Sometimes it even rewards me for saving its life with beautiful salmon colored flowers. It's evolvution as a #bonsai is ongoing. Stay tuned...

A few more shots from the Monster Mulberry's repot. The first picture is what I imagine will be the eventual front so you can see the apex and tease a view through the gnarly deadwood a bit. It isn't in that orientation now though because it is still in a training pot and I wanted to give one of the roots in the nebari a bit more room to lay down without the wall forcing it to go straight down. This one is on it's way but not a finished bonsai yet by any means! In the second picture, you see why I needed to repot it. Everybody say "Hiiiii Kevin!"
