U L M U S ... P R O C E R A Seedling taken in 1975 24cm high - 20cm wide Pot: Bryan Albright My first ever attempt at bonsai - and still one of my favourites. When I started this tree I had no idea how big the average bonsai was (see "Why Shohin?" in my Reading Room) so I set about trying to create a perfect tree in miniature - growing it branch by branch, twig by twig. Definitely one of my all-time favourites.
