Fraxinus ornus "CLIFFHANGER"

Tree collected from the wild in 2011. In 2011, before being yamadori and a bit later bonsai tree was a guy living on the edge. But made it back from the edge and became ash bonsai ten years later. In pot by Pravoslav Dorda. Foliage reduced significantly for the first time this year about a week ago.

Not all the guys from that hill made it. One in the red circle was FUBAR, unfortunately.

Fraxinus ornus "Cliffhanger" 10 years anniversary

This Ash tree was collected ten years ago from the edge of the quarry. I was fixed with rope to a bigger tree when collecting it. There were about 30 meters of nothing below the tree, hence the name. Quite an experience. I saved his life. We are brothers since then. Maybe he will save mine once.

Pot by Pravoslav Dorda. The tree was too dense so it was partially defoliated at the top of the crown and cut back.
