Mulberry Bonsai!

Hey everyone, what a nice surprise this was. I took a walk to the shops this Sunday to go buy some groceries and to my surprise and excitement they had a flea market, on this particular day an awesome bonsai display, can you believe they had a Mulberrry Bonsai. I really was not expecting this and at first I didn't believe it was a Mulberry tree!

After chatting with the chap who grows these he tells me this tree is 4 years old and is quiet well 'trained' which refers to the style in which they control branch growth, as far as that goes this is very original indeed. He has made it look like a Weeping Willow, but it's not!

Apparently the berries this Tree produces are very small, which amazes me as from what I can see most other Bonsai Tree's albeit small have the same sized fruit as their larger counterparts, in a smaller quantities!

He had a nice variety of other Tree's too and has been in the market for many years. He even has a Boabab Tree which is 50 years old selling for around $2000!
