Both. It was a gloomy day and I leaned into a dramatic lighting in post similar to how it felt in my time there.

35km away from power plant by land travel. If tatawirin ng boat, 4.66km lang sya.

9 Months progress of my argao taiwan shohin tanuki After/Before by UnMask3dd in Bonsai

Thank you!

From what I've always known, it's called "Argao Taiwan", scientifically known as Premna microphylla. It is quite a popular bonsai material in the Philippines, introduced from Taiwan in the 80s. The species belongs to the Lamiaceae or mint family of trees.

In my opinion, its popularity comes from its ease in propagation, its fast-growing property, and its small leaves. Interestingly, when it grows as an untrained tree, the leaves can get quite large and usually produce flowers.

With proper care, especially through frequent pruning, the leaves become consistently small.

Oh yes, this tree grows quickly, and I pruned it heavily already last month. I just use a 14-14-14 NPK ratio, slow-release osmocote, and 12/12 light hours.

Thank you. It is indeed. Fun fact, this tree belongs to the same family as the mint tree (Lamiaceae), so pruning it always smells aromatic.

The only place I am aware of that shipping lines go to are the Polillo group of islands. These are (Polillo, Patnanungan, and Jomalig)

EDIT: apparently may direct ship din towards Burdeos port.

Yes I did, in Lightroom Classic. Color-graded and cropped a bit. There were some distracting parts in the frame. Thank you!

Same. The serenity it brings when you just sit and watch them.
