After two days of the Club Bonsai School and Workshop taking place at my home, I’m absolutely shattered. And if I’m knackered, how must Peter Snart be feeling as he’s an old man 🙂
In two days of fantastic weather we have achieved another great club event with some really good feedback from fellow members. No photos on the computer yet but will get some up as soon as I can. To brighten up the post, I’ll add a photo of my cascade Scots Pine.
Bringing it to you live from the club bonsai school .
Best so far today is a great selection of gallery photos from the Nichigo Bonsai Blog showing photos from the recent AABC 2012
My Korean Hornbeam this week.
This one does it for me due to it’s authors complete honesty and entertainment value 🙂 That and the fact that he’ll be cutting lumps out of my trees in October 🙂
Sharing this in the hope that the trees can be found. This was posted on Mike Konig’s Blog. All the UK folk, please have a look and keep it in mind when you are out and about.
My newish Trident Root over Rock needed a little attention. It had some extension growth and the canopy was dense stopping light reaching inner branches. I reduced the extension growth and removed some of the larger leaves from the outside of the canopy.
Before.
after..
Better for the tree I think.
This one is a belter! Once you get the Google Chrome translate going, sit back and read a very well structured post from El Tim [The Team] on what to look for and what to watch out for when buying yamadori. It’s a long post and you’ll maybe want to skip the funnies at the start but stick with it.
I finally got around to layering a little ivy I collected last year from a beach. A bit late but should be fine with this species.
As you can see, the trunk has major issues as it sits, inverse taper and lack of interest.
This part of the tree has loads of interest and was worth layering.
Layer in progress.
Sphagnum moss and cling film
Finished off with black pond liner to help attract heat and encourage rooting.
As usual I’ll keep you posted right here.
Some great photos from TAISHO-EN on one of my favourite bonsai Blogs Centro Bonsai Tenerife.
