You forgot - Number 1, the larch

You'd be amazed how they can survive Rob. All mine, except for the Olive, got through last winter even though we had snow for 3 weeks. My collection consists of Acer, Hornbeam, Larch (go on all you Python fans - say in a loud voice 'The Larch' ), Maidenhair and Juniper. These are officially 'trees' but there are loads of shrubs that can survive our winter.

[Writes note to self - put together a 'How to make cheap small trees' essay and post it on the forum]

Honestly, you will be amazed how the little fellow's can survive.
Edit: That's a superb Acer you have there minimans, I'm jealous!

You are convincing me Tom, can we look forward to your illustrated thread in the (very?) near future?

OK Miniman, so you are a dab hand with Photoshop - I can see crows nesting in that Acer

I've never used them myself but when this subject was raised on the 16mm group a few years ago this place in Honiton was recommended

mind you, anything with the name 'bonsai' doesn't sound cheap. Might be worth giving them a phone call.

They are not particularly cheap Philip but they do look 'right' compared to the bog standard garden conifers! This place is well worth a visit if you are passing
