Monkey Thorn / Apiesdoring Bonsai – Year 1999
Bought this old Bonsai a week ago and pruned and shaped it to eventually grow into a dome.
Bark – Most acacia bark is rough and has a tendency to flake which makes it an even more beautiful Bonsai Tree.
Trunks – Acacia bonsai trunks are usually flexible and single when young but at a later stage split into low and heavy branches. Healing is relatively easy if the tree in encouraged to expand so pruning back should result in a crop of new branches.
Branches – The branches are often mistaken for multi-trunks due to their. The branches are known to weaken if they are grown in a descending manner. It’s in the trees’ best interest that it is treated as it is in nature with a short trunk and low, ascending branches. There should be a crown formed by multitude branch ends.
