We drove 20 minutes to a town called Kopeng in search of the perfect tree.
When we saw this tree, which looked like a giant bonsai tree, we had to get him!
Here’s some pictures of the event:
Bargaining for the “right” price for our tree, while checking out some miniature trees
Ever been harassed to buy oranges and mangoes while shopping for a tree? Well, in Indonesia if a white person walks by, this is what happens. It started with one lady, and turned into 6! I’m trying for the 10th time to tell them I have some at home and don’t need anymore. In the end, they won. We just couldn’t take the constant begging anymore and gave in. We bought 6 oranges and a mango.
Here's our tree! Isn't he great?
Transplanting him to a pot to take home
