Bonsai Kamakize

Bonsai trees are beautiful additions to any plantlover's collection. You can spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on trees and shape them to look like nearly any sort of landscape. I'm going to show you how you can take these wonderful baby trees to new heights. I call this look, Kamikaze Bonsai!

To achieve this look, you start with a very expensive specimen that has been around for 20 or so years, carefully cultured, pruned and watered. Here are a few examples of what you might look for.



To achieve a proper look suitable for this blog, you have to do one simple thing. Leave for vacation without leaving care instructions for these pernicious plants. A lack of nutrients and water can be compensated with additional Florida sunshine when left outdoors on a balcony, or in some other high sunshine environment.

The final versions that will last for years and years to come.


The one on the left still has a small amount of green remaining, so our hard work is not yet complete. The following example is the Marvel Endgame of horticulture. It is the penultimate of what you can achieve by diligently following my guidance.


Have you managed to achieve this look on your own plants? If so, please comment below and send in some pics.
