This bonsai was originally 2 seedlings planted with roots wrapped round each other as a twin trunk bonsai.  They were then planted in larger post to grow on fast. It spent a few years in a polystyrene fruit box and grew fast. The growing seedlings have fused completely and as the trunks thickened the space between the 2 trunks has gradually closed up so the 2nd trunk is now a large lower branch on the right side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/shibuibonsai.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/CH070382-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2577\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shibuibonsai.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/CH070382-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/shibuibonsai.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/CH070382-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/shibuibonsai.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/CH070382-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/shibuibonsai.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/CH070382-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/shibuibonsai.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/CH070382.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/shibuibonsai.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/CH070383c-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2578\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shibuibonsai.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/CH070383c-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/shibuibonsai.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/CH070383c-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/shibuibonsai.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/CH070383c-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/shibuibonsai.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/CH070383c-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/shibuibonsai.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/CH070383c.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Trunk diameter 20 cm<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Asking price $3,300.
