Hehehe, that’s another pun title. You will get it soon.

So I got these tiny tiny guys at Shades of Green. They are great bonsai species, and very trainable, so I figured I could try my hand at mame. Mame is a type of bonsai that is extremely small, usually under four inches. This is only logical considering the girth of these trunks, which is thin. Might as well make them short so that the trunks are of a more realistic proportion.

Here is the Crepe Myrtle. With some chops and wire, here is the transformation! It isn’t perfect, but it is something. I’ll see how branched grow in and go from there.

I decided to go all out for the serissa/ white snow rose. Shout it with me: trunk fusion!

I couldn’t decide which of the lower branches to keep, so I kept them all in order to bulk up the trunk. With some wire, we have movement. Claire loves her trunk fusion. Well, she loves the idea of it. She has been doing this for four months. Who knows if it will work. But she is hopeful!
