I defoliated my little Ivy and did a minor adjustment to the lower branch.
to watch an hour and a half long youtube video of a bonsai demo?
Me apparently 🙂 I can currently do precious little else!!
Most demo videos are full of bits you want to fast forward. I have tried to edit a few in my time to make them more watchable. This one however, showing Ryan Neil styling a Pinyon Pine, was well worth the time spent in watching. I am so looking forward to watching Ryan live at Willowbog in January. He passes on a stunning amount of relevant information during a session. Some great points made in this video about raffia, guy wires and dynamic design. Toss in some Kimura tales, and you have 84 minutes well spent. [ well about 70 in reality :-)]
This is the latest addition to my collection. A shohin Japanese Black Pine with a built in Accent 🙂
I had a closer look at the Chuhin Maple to see if there were any signs of new buds to replace the branches I lost to insect attack in the Spring. Signs are good. Budding is starting not just at the apex but also lower down.
This is the post about some work carried out on a shohin Cork Bark Elm
This is the Elm now after 3 weeks growth.
Get the kettle on and then sit down and enjoy.I love watching this sort of show critique, especially when messers Neill and Noelanders know their stuff 🙂
Sad perhaps, but sometimes foliage makes me happy 🙂 I love looking over the benching and seeing the different colours.
Yes, very sad indeed!
My shohin Maple leafing out after defoliation.
Successful operation. No wiring for some time 🙂 No lime sulphur required on the wound either, seemingly it callouses over on its own 🙂
This label was on this Shohin Satsuki. I assume it is the variety, but for all I know, it’s the price!! 🙂 Can someone ID/ translate it for me so Bertie knows what variety he has?
