My Sweetsop Bonsai Tree


I already introduced my second bonsai last time; I will now introduce my 3rd bonsai which is also included on the three saplings wherein I selected my first bonsai. I have decided later on to train all of them as bonsai. The 3rd sapling is the Sweetsop tree, I didn't select it initially because it has a big leaves but since it has an inclined trunk it reminds me of my childhood days wherein we play hide and seek and our favorite hiding place is on tree branches. I'm not good and fast in climbing tree that is why I usually selects tree that is inclined because it is easy to climb. I also fascinated with its look and because of it is inclined I usually lie or sit on it when I want to have a little rest.


The pot I used for this bonsai is made of concrete. I created it from excess cement and sand when we have our house improvement and I used Styrofoam as mould. It looks like a ship but since I'm the one who created and didn't pattern it to any pot, it is unique.

At this time I'm still hoping that the leaves will become proportion to its trunk once the trunk grows a little more. But I'm already enjoying seeing it because of its inclined position.
