2002. Following untold hours of carving, branch thinning,
rewiring and a repot into this lovely Bryan Albright pot I think this is a very
convincing image. The tree is much shorter than the previous image (now 32") and
the carving is extremely deep and breaks right through the trunk in several
places. By 2003 the new growth of foliage will increase the branch density and
complete the image. |
The tree as shown at BUKEX 2006.
There is still a long way to go in defining the foliage pads and increasing
density. Also a new Gordon Duffett pot is on the way. Apart from a few guy wires
the tree is now completely self supporting and has only been wired twice thus
far.Even though I have taken this tree every step of the way I still can hardly
believe what a beautiful Bonsai grew from that useless old stump just a few
years back. |
