[IzzyG]

Completely unwired a large one seed Juniper and ponderosa pine for initial styling next week(pictures once it’s all done) and sorting out the logistics of this monster of a Juniper. Bjorn had just finished cleaning her up but moving the 7’ tall(while on a pallet) required quite a bit of logistical planning since the road to his nursery doesn’t accommodate a semi

Keep an eye out for an upcoming YouTube video on Eisei-En’s channel featuring the tree!

Loaded and off she goes!

Jade Neem oil spray and rince before spring tidy up, might pot them up this year if I get around to making a few boxes

I’m watching the video about this tree right now on YouTube!

 

[jerzyjerzy]

Cleaning up, reducing threes and fours to twos, and a first structural wiring of this mugo pine.
It was wired before in what I call "agricultural" or "octopus" style , meaning all the branches are wired out toward light without caring much about anything else.

The tree has been with me for over four years, and it was originally a regular nursery stock.









The plan is to grow the lower right part a little (or a lot) more, to get better asymmetry, and reduce the main jin, which is used as the anchor point for multiple guy wires at the moment.

Looking good

Removing a big yamadorist stalker

 

[leatherback]

Drove 600km 380 USA miles to join the Bavarian Bonsai Show & German New Talent contest this weekend. Along the way, picked up a cascade from someone stopping the hobby after 40 years.

Looks like a chiropractor setup. How kind of you to align that alligators spine for him.

Heres a prostrata I wired for a club member.

Nice work @Ruddigger
Removed 1,436 needles from this poorly grafted banshosho (not official count)
It's not ready for Fall work yet and has never been worked on except to remove a couple branches and wire the upper trunk and canopy out of the way. Lots to do. I think it's grafted to Scots pine, causing reverse taper.

Honored to have worked on that tree many times. Here it is after my intensive course way back in 2018. (I’m pictured bottom left)



Take good care of it, it’s a special tree to many of us

Made a Jin, then removed wire cutting in on this Shore Pine and a bigger JBP.

Ouch!

Just a thought. I have a Parsons juniper with the same problem. I found a piece of suitable driftwood, carved and fitted it to the bottom 3-4" of the trunk to make a tanuki-ish false flared trunk. I added a little wood putty to fill the small gap and spashed on a bit of ground charcoal/ water mixture. Nobody seems to have noticed it yet.

Finished wiring this jawn

 

[yashu]

Picked a front and did some structural wiring on my new chojubai. Hoping that this wiring sets the bones and I’ll be able to “clip n’ grow” from here on out.

Wasn’t ready to photo this…

…with flash



This work got me really excited for spring repot. This will be moving to a Sara Rayner round



… and I think I will use the current quirky little container for a little forest or group planting.

Holy crap you bought that?

I've seen that in person, it's unreal. Pictures do not truly capture how large this thing is. Would love to see where you end up putting it!

Hi!

Today I decided to go and start this new project with a proper analysis and drawings.
No action done other than cleaning the deadwood amd choosing the face.
Branches placement should be done before winter.

 

[snowman04]

I have a nice small Buttonwood coming. Looking forward to doing some carving on it...
