Your tree makes me think of this shore pine i collected and am in the process of developing. I have it in a rustic container. It has a ways to go yet, but your tree has jogged my memory to take it further.

Still in a nursery pot, and in bad need of a trim, but I'm going to enjoy the color for a bit.

I'll play a little fast and loose with the word "tree"...….fun to have around when you need a tree to cut up. Keeps growing right on the hot concrete....suckulant!

Another sketch made on location at the Heian Jingu Shrine. Japanese black pines.

Deciding on a plan for this Paperbark which needs some attention.

Nice tree, doesn’t look like it needs much styling, just a little pruning.

First light styling of an ezo

Unbound the ROR Winged elm, first time to see the roots on this thing...and was playing around on it being displayed on my bench with some character fitting it. Lotus Bonsai accent pot.

You showin’ shohin at Nationals? I’ve been working on a 3-point for a few years. Hope it’s ready in time.
This crab is not part of it!

Yeah, I have three displays: the big olive, the white pine I took to Winter Silohette, and Bill asked me to do a Shohin display.

The first two are easy. The Shohin is always a challenge!

This JBP is not yet ready for the Nationals, but might be in two more years:

My first massive bending of a juniper.



Next year I will try to graft shimpaku on it.

 

[ABCarve]

4 year old Begonia.......Does this count as a tree?
