Where has the year gone!!
I would like to wish all the followers of my blog a very Happy christmas. Your support and friendship means a lot.
Dancing Hawthorn
This Hawthorn was named the Dancer by Mike Jones a few years back when I first showed it here. It’s kind of stuck with that for me 🙂 It’s still early days in the branch development. I gave it a little thinning out a few days ago, removing straight, fat or unattractive branches.

Larch Group For Sale
I brought this Group of 3 larch in for a trim back yesterday. I had planned to split the group perhaps create a bigger scene, but trying to source extra trees with the same quality of bark and ramification has proved a chore. I have therefore decided to sell the group over the next few months. I have had my fun with it but want to give my time to other trees and projects. The 3 larch all came from the wild in Scotland and have great quality bark. The rock element in this landscape was collected from Lough Corrib and has great character. The pot is Walsall Ceramics.

This was it with Autumn colour last Autumn.
Last Winter
Back in 1997 when I first put it together.
Back in 2000 when I tried it on slate for a while.

Sam and KJ are spoiling us this Christmas 🙂
This is Part II of the trees where I took a few photos back in 2007 and 2008 at the BIB show. Boon has a fabulous bonsai club and he and his members have a number of very fine bonsai. I would highly recommend you attend their show this January 19-20, 2013. You can learn more about the show by visiting this page. And see their exhibit photos here.
We hope you enjoy the trees as much as we did seeing them in person and having the opportunity to photograph them. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone!

Our Favorite American Bonsai Trees – Part II
Interesting post showing field grown pines in Japan.
Excellent 🙂
Last week we posted about some of our favorite Japanese bonsai trees, so this week we are going to post a few photos that I took back in 2007 and 2008 at the BIB show. Boon has a fabulous bonsai club and he and his members have a number of very fine bonsai. I would highly recommend you attend their show this January 19-20, 2013.

UK Trees – The Threat Continues..
Thought I would share a link to the latest episode of the BBC’s Countryfile programme which looks at the spread of new diseases across the UK in recent years.
Where does this leave bonsai and imported trees?
