This is the first Bonsai tree I got... Lonicera Nitida a "perennial shrub, a member of the honeysuckle genus Lonicera. In English, it is sometimes given the common names"boxleaf honeysuckle" or "Wilson's honeysuckle"." (excerpt from wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lonicera_nitida) It was bought from a garden centre chain nearby last December. I paid £5 for it which just goes to show how accessible Bonsai is as a hobby. At first it was a two inch long trunk with a couple of branches and after nearly a year of watering, feeding, wiring and spending many an hour watching it grow, it is on it's way to being a lovely little Bonsai. My aim is to train it into a semi cascade style!
