Japanese Beech Forest

[William N. Valavanis]

Sergio:
Your beech forest is truly becoming refined and I look forward to presenting it in International BONSAI, more so more people can appreciate the beauty you have created.

However it’s developing into a multiple trunk style forest. NOT raft because the original trunk is not straight. It is also not a sinuous style either because the original trunk is not curved. Your forest was developed from individual trees grouped together which have now grown together to create a beautiful multiple trunk forest.

Whatever you name it and call it, you did an excellent job creating beauty for others to enjoy and learn from.

Great job, Sergio!

 

[Hartinez]

Ugh. This forest is just incredible. I love how you’ve brought down the branches on the outside trees. A clear improvement from the original composition.

Looks great.Whate an ode’ to the Summer when the Bonsai looks lush and properly maintained.

Thank you my friend! Now I have to work on being less of a D*CK! This bonsai thing brings the worst in me!

No, it is the same Lars. I just decided to use the other side as my front.

Oh cool! I haven’t read my copy yet. Now I can be like, “hey I know that guy!”

 

[ConorDash]

Congratulations @MACH5

Couldnt happen to a nicer or more skilled Bonsai Artist.

Whoop, nevermind, I have ABS magazine not IB.

I want a Japanese beech forest so bad. I have never seen any for sale or seedlings either. The few trees I have seen need way too much work for the price. Julian Adams did tell me he had some in the ground he may dig come spring. Maybe I bite the bullet.
