Another Suthin bonsai on a rock. This one is a Black Hills Spruce (Picea glauca var. densata). The contrast with this photo and the before photo below will give you a good idea of Suthin's vision and skill.
These two photos beg more questions than I can answer right now (time constraints, you know). So we’ll leave them for another time. Meanwhile, take a close look if you have the time and see what questions come to mind.
Both photos shown here are from Suthin’s facebook feed.
Before. It's hard to believe this is the same tree. In fact if it weren't for the little jin sticking out on the left, you might question if it is the same tree. The foliage looks quite different and that can't be the same rock. Suthin must have changed his mind.
If you are interested, here’s what The South Dakota Dept of Agriculture has to say about the Black hills spruce.
