[360°] Casuarina (link fixed)

Post by Pup »

G, day guys I have been busy with my camera and turntable.
Here is the Casaurina that I re potted at the beginning of AusBonsai.
It is looking a bit like a Cryptomeria but it is getting there.
We are now open for discussion at ,

The link page says it doesn't exist, is it just me experiencing problems, or is the link not right....?

Hi Pup,

I had a good look, now you know I am a fan of your work but this planting doesn't do it for me, obviously the trees still need further development but I think the main problem is that the composition lacks depth imo.... Also if I was being critical the main tree has a thicker branch above a thinner branch I believe this might towards the back of the composition but something I noticed as you've mention on this does not happen in nature, anyways just one person point of view....


Elias

PS Thanks Goncy for fixing link :D

Point taken on the branch, I see depth though.
It has I have said a long ways to go.
In groups the guidelines change quite a bit as to single trees. Such as the nebari( root flare) branch placement height, variation in trunk's, alignment is important though. The constant of the scalene triangle. One of the most important factors is space.

The 360 of this group has shown up quite a few defects in the group. Which will be corrected as it develops.
It will probably go onto a granite slab when it is ready. In about two years probably in time for the 2011 AABC being held here. :D ;) Pup

This tree looks great in person. I think the perspective question comes up when looking from the side, but it gives a good perspective impression from the front to me.

Do you know the type of casuarina?

Hi pup. I like the group but would make a change or two. I think the apexes need work in regards to their positions. In my opinion (which isn't necessarily the right opinion) the apexes are too close to one another. I think that they should gently lean outwards from the group as if reaching away from one another to reach the light. I think this would also cure the 'lack of depth' issues. Otherwise, its a very nice group. I think this planting will make very good bonsai!

Hi Pup, this is an amazing forest! I love it. The composition is great. I like its tall thin look. In real life, the viewing perspective from a little lower down (looking upward at it) should be very impressive. It looks like a prehistoric forest from the Jurassic era. Maybe you can put some more large mosses and miniature ferns for some ground cover. It also has a distinctly Australian look about it too. I have never seen these trees done as a forest style before! Very well done!
