grow a bonsai tree

My little dogwood is doing nicely. The leaves keep growing and the trunk seems nice and solid. I potted it last weekend and added some root food to make sure that transplant takes properly. I trimmed back the tops of the branches to encourage it to grow laterally a bit more. I hope I can actually bring it home soon and start to keep a closer eye on it.

I planted a bunch of saplings in the fall. Three of them died and one survived. Originally, I had wanted a birch but it turns out the plant we grabbed was a dogwood. It is full of beautiful leaves. I’ll post pics next time I go and see it.
