Honeysuckle

Got this on a street side early summer of 2018. Walking my kids to and from school for a couple days, I saw this tree (and a few others) dumped in the garbage as some renovations were being done on a house in the neighbourhood. I gave it a shot and stole the dead tree.

After all, Nick Lenz proved that Honeysuckle can produce interesting bonsai, especially when the trunk grows. Inspirations below.

I put the tree in a large wooden box and the appropriate soil and voilà! The tree is back alive.

After a couple of months.
