I must say I’m impressed with the amount of new buds that the tree has produced after the initial styling. I treated the tree with Oleum Tuesday last week and it still looks like the tree is covered in oil. I like the lush green look that Oleum gives the trees. Here is a close up of the tree. You can… Continue reading #Bonsaiupdate: Stone Pine update and a brief overview on what to do with used wires.

Most of you have heard of #overwintering and other techniques that bonsai enthusiasts have practice to keep their trees from dying in the extreme temperatures that some countries or regions experience. I on the other hand will be removing my shading nets I put up this summer. You can see in the photo above that I had to put up a… Continue reading #Bonsainews: Perparing for winter

Some of you may remember the restyling of this large, old Mountain Hemlock, Tsuga mertensiana, a few years ago.
