I love these close-up deadwood shots that let you see every little scar and sliver. The tree is a big Yew that belongs to Mark Fields.
Here’s what Mark Fields has to say about this tree: “Uchi-San just finished up styling the big taxus. It took about 16 hours to complete. Ready for the big show now! We know the pot is too big for the tree. We will repot in spring.”
Mark Fields is an American bonsai artist and owner of Bonsai By Fields in Greenwood Indiana. Uchi-San is Bonsai Crazy Uchi (we’ll devote a whole post to him soon). The show that Mark is referring to is the 4th U.S. National Bonsai Exhibition.
After Uchi-san’s magic touch. I look forward to seeing a photo after the tree is repotted into a smaller pot.
Before Uchi-san. I dug around Mark’s facebook photos and found this before shot. You might imagine that’s Mark in this hands-on profile and you’d be correct.
Bonsai Crazy Uchi. Crazy is his idea and there’s a good reason he’s wearing shades (stay posted).
