RE: Lemon Tree: Bright Full Green Leaves [Bonsai]
Looks like you've got a pretty nice collection growing. Fun hobby, I saw a ton of cool bonsai out in Kyoto botanical gardens a couple years ago.
Sadly I lost a ton of pictures from that day because I took them on my phone and it EXPLODED the day I left... > . >
Too bad!
Kyoto is one of the main reason I want to visit Japan some day. I believe they are known worldwide for their unique gardens. I got a book that teaches me some of the Niwaki training techniques from the perspective of an English arborist, and Kyoto is always being used as a reference to view good examples of properly pruned trees.
Oh man, I spent the entire day at the botanical gardens there. It was only 200yen to get in and the place is freakin huge.
Wonderful city in general, though it can be a bit of a tourist trap -- most of the "must see" destinations there like gold temple and such were a bit of a let down to me.
Had a ton of fun just hopping around town there though, lots to experience/see. Japan in general has done a great job maintaining places with nature/greenery even in the middle of their busiest cities. 👺 💖
