Hi Guys , I'm well aware of the placement of tree's in a tray from 1 2 3 5 7 9 11 and so on . These were placed specifically for the purpose of growing on and thickening and allowing root run without having to place the in the grow beds .

Yes its slap happy but it not meant to be a show winner at this point , more of an inspiration to get me motivated into looking after 1 pot instead of 2 and keeping the cook happy about the new purchases not laying around collecting dust . It wont stay in this pot/tray but it will grow for a year or two in there and with plenty of root run

I'm sure I can place a few more smaller tree's in there to compliment the larger ones but it ain't gunna happen in the short term .
, they will be set in the correct fashion on a new slab and that means the number of tree's will be an even number , then the bigger trees added to create the final design .

I appreciate the feedback which no doubt will help others understand the art of placement for creating a final design, but hey I always do things a little different to most hence the reason I have set them in the position they are .

Each tree has approximately 1 square foot to grow without restriction in this pot , I could have separated them into 3 trays but that's more work , more room required . These will be shaped again with some heavy wire , then I will hack and chop them into shape again before setting ops tossing them onto a new slab currently under contruction .

No rules for this old bugger , dare to be different and anything goes , thats what I love about Alpineart , I never said I was a bonsai guru nor do I wanna be . I still call it living art

Cheers Alpine

And as I’ve said before... this amateur can’t wait to visit Allpine one day! Further - I hope in 10 or 15 years - I too will have developed my own style ... somehow I’ll have learned from many but hopefully carved my own path .... most likely a reasonable self-centred path - if I like something I’ll stick with it, even if the odd rule is left in ashes along the way ...

When you think you know what alpineart's doing , "dont". Leave the thinking to me even if its not to your liking .
This is a purpose grown multi trunk from cuttings , not perfect but rough enough exposing the base wired .shaped and potted

Cheers Alpineart

A few different styles , twin trunk , informal upright , contorted , cascade , natural , etcThese 2 were rewired in the upper sections .

As with all bonsai progress continues . This was put together some time ago and entered into the Myrt' show in 2019, it's had a few trims since then and is taking shape nicely . The silicon tube is for size comparison and weighing in at around 36kgs so it doesn't get moved around much , definitely a 2 man lift .

Hi Alpine ,very nice a great depiction of the Aussie bush. Any bigger and you will have the local wildlife moving in. Cheers John.

Hi boom64 , yes it is rather large and heavy , appreciate the positive feedback

Cheers . Alpine
