AusBonsai

Hi all - I don't actually know if I'm going against the rules of the forum, but here goes.....

I was looking over some websites and found this amazing tree that is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen. I just fell in love with it.

It is from the website http://artofbonsai.org/feature_articles ... ciples.php

....and is below. Does anyone know:

1. has this tree been in any publications at all?

2. What type of tree it is?

3. Where it's from, collection, styled by etc?

It seems too good to be just an 'unknown' tree. There appears to be a haze around the far edges suggesting that it may have come from some sort of publication perhaps....

Does anyone share my view??

Cheers

Stew

I don't know who's tree it is sorry. It does look similar to some of those styled by Robert Steven though..




EDIT: Hold up, it is his

Nice investiigative work Kleary

Very nice tree too
can we get some more info on what it is?

Ken

yes it is Dyospyros Montana
page 108 of Roberts book

Hi Stewart,

after doing a google search on Steven Polan, I found this beneath the tree`s picture. Robert Steven
Robert brought this material from China, where they call it "Po Lan" but he can not find the botanical name. It is from common nursery material.
"The physical condition of these two trees are not that "good" with many scars; so I combined them for another windswept to eliminate the defective features."

I have tried to search for the Botanical identification of the tree as well, but have not found any refrences as yet.

I will keep you posted if I find something.



Regards,


Paul.

"Visions of my soul ".. book by Robert Steven . is the photo you have shown of trees on white marble tray

Seeing him in in a couple of weeks!!! so excited about it He really nails windswept's bonsai

We have this tree in our brochure advertising the event



He has his own website, which has a bit more detail on his tree's... although this one isn't on there: https://robert-steven.ofbonsai.org/gallery/

The one on the white marbel is: Dyospiros montana. Length: 120 cm

He's a great artist and has great taste in T-shirts too.
