Massive trunks and extensively carved deadwood aren't the only way to go. Delicacy, grace and color work too. This photo and the others in this post are from Rosade Bonsai Studio. The tree looks a lot like a Virginia creeper.
It has been a long time since we visited Chase and Solita’s Rosade’s Bonsai Studio. If you’re old enough, you might even remember when it first opened. I don’t know the exact date, but I do know that it was over fifty years ago (proof is just below).
Which must make Rosade Bonsai Studio one of the older Bonsai nurseries in north America. For sure one of the two or three oldest in the eastern U.S. (some of the nurseries on the west coast go back to late 1940s or early 1950s and if it weren’t for the internment camps, might have gone back even further).
Proof! Well, even though it doesn't say Rosade Bonsai Studio anywhere, you'll just have to trust me (or check for yourself)
Looks a lot like a Ficus
I like the long gentle curve on this juniper
It's easy to appreciate the unusual shape of this old juniper
