Post by alpineart »

This has been floating around for too long so over the last couple of weeks i hacked into it and reduced the foliage a bit

A bit of jin and shari work took place while I was at it .
Today I went all out to reduce it some more and wire it into shape

Rough enough for a starter , it will be potted into a bonsai pot over winter .

Cheers Alpineart

Easy to imagine this one on the side of a mountain. I like it a lot.

Nice one alpine!
I didn't see that coming!
One of the fabulous things about growing bonsai is as you get old and decrepit your trees get old and beautiful

Hi Greg F , inspired by the power of mother nature

Hi Juan73870 , nature is the true artist we just try to reproduce it .

Hi Biocs this has been in the pipeline for years , the less foliage the less the little pinkies get pricked .

I hate working with needle junipers hence "less is more" . More than happy with the outcome on this one .

Cheers Guys . Alpine
