BONSAI by the HARBOUR 2013 – Part 3

On the Sunday afternoon Chris Di Nola did a demonstration on two procumbens junipers. Both were large potted plants and Chris decided one should be a smallish bonsai and the other should be a literati. Now I am very interested in literati and so there are no photos of the smallish bonsai to be, but here following are a few of the transformation to a literati.

As with all things bonsai, these projects are never finished. This tree will now be put away to recover and get some new growth. I would prefer the hanging branch on the right to be removed, but we will see how things eventuate.
