Ponderosa Pine (Pinus ponderosa) #5

About 18 cm high
Around 100 years old
Pot by Randy Knight
From a tree which was collected in 2006 in Oregon by Randy Knight

As we know ponderosa have to be large bonsai because of the length of needles. Ponderosa shohin are unheard of and are impossible anyway. A shohin is a tree that is smaller than 23 cm. Well is it really impossible? This tree looked untidy after first styling as ponderosas usually do. In 2009 it started to look fine.
