Even though the crown is leaning back a bit in this shot, still, I’m going to call this side the front. Especially if we take front to be the best view of the trunk and deadwood rather than imposing some imagined rule. The four photos of this tree are by Haruyosi, as is the tree itself.
We don’t usually show four shots of the same bonsai, but I like this little tree a lot and the shots were just sitting there begging to picked up and shared. It’s a Shohin (you could even say Mame) Shimpaku juniper by Haruyosi. From his numerous wonderful facebook photos.
This is the first time that we’ve featured Haruyosi’s trees, but we have shown some of his pots here on Bark. They are as remarkable as his trees. Stay posted. We’ll have more soon.
This side is very good too and presents a better view of the crown. But we’re going to call it the back. It doesn’t really matter, especially given that the tree is in a round pot.
Close up.
Another close up.
Cherry blossoms. It was -15F this morning when I got up, so we’re still a ways away from spring up here, but those of you who live in warmer climes can relate. This photo and tree also belong to Haruyosi.
I’ve followed this man for the last couple of years, He is great & also make one of a kind pots! It’s about time he is featured. Thanks!
Hi Dennis,
Yeah. He’s one of the good ones. Both pots and bonsai. Stay posted for more.
Wayne, thanks for featuring Haruyosi. He uses his heart to show us strong trees / no matter soooo small.
