One of my favorite trees. Simply stunning. Great work
A stick in a pot is better than no stick at all. Remember even the best bonsai started as a stick.

Yup. Fabulous pot for a fabulous tree.JaseH wrote:Looks like a Koyo Oribe glazed pot. They are well known for that particular glaze - its one of my favouritesdelisea wrote:Hello Grant, It is amazing the difference a pot makes. Can you give some details about the potter? I have seen this glaze come up a lot lately, is there more than one Tokoname kiln using it?
Cheers,

It's amazing how much a good pot can really finish off the display.

Nice tree Grant, You won't remember me but I visited you way back about 5-6 years ago when I was fully into bonsai.. you sold me a banksia that was great but my neighbour killed it with round up.. love your work.. Im getting back into it so maybe our paths will cross again

My retirement 3 years ago from the job of NBPCA curator has given me more time on my own trees and time to travel to Japan, import pots etc and attend many bonsai activities so yes no doubt we will bump into each other.
Pity about the banksia but few trees and roundup get along. Hope you have got new neighbours.

Re: Old Corky bark elm
Great tree. You took a brave initiative and did that successfully. I am sure that the old tree was already great and not many people could have the gut to trim it down that harsh!
Great example!

Always we hope someone else has the answer.
