I have seen Tamarisk trees made into bonsai at Peter Chan's nursery in the UK. The trees were actually imported from Japan.

BTW, a good quality pot (tokoname quality, or commissioned pot) of that size would probably cost between 200-300 euro, maybe even more, if you add postage
Unfortunately, this (cost of pot) is one of the drawbacks when it comes to trees of this size Smile

Absolutely stunning work Mehmet. I've just got back from Spain where I saw many beautiful Tamarix that would make great bonsai. This tree will be worth the investment of a great pot. Smile
