MAJESTIC JBP

Post by anttal63 »

i have posted this tree in the past. it is now farther refined. it belongs to a melbourne artist. it could quite easily be the best jbp in the country at the moment. that opinion is also subjective in the eye of another. i havent seen one here that pops my cookies the way this one does. enjoy. :D

Hi Antonio,

I do not recall seeing this tree before. I think "majestic" is the right
word to describe it.

Has it ever been shown in Victoria annual show, Antonio?

Thanks.

Hey Tony, yeah it was magnificent seeing it last night.

I don't think it has been in any shows yet. I know the artist has brought it to Bonsai Northwest on a few occasions now and showed it progress. If this is the kind of standard of tree that is showing up at a monthly meeting at Bonsai Northwest I can't wait til the show in mid October.

Do not keep us in Suspense. Who is it?

Ps I either do not like the long first branch, or it needs a bigger pot. Cannot Decide
the rest is very nice tho.

yes ken its in need of a larger oval pot to cater for the latteral spread. the right hand side of the tree above the sub trunk has to also extend and catch up with the spread. picture that over the next 2-3 years. sorry no name dropping. this guy does not like the light shining. if you know anything of the melbourne scene you will know who he is. if you dont you need to get out more. :P :lol: :D ( just toying no offence intended) ;)

I think you would need to offer around 3000.00-4000.00 for something like this, and that would a low price ...JMO
