Brilliant fall color. Sweet tree too. It belongs to Harry Harrington. Here's his caption: "A quick shot of my English or Field Elm bonsai today (Ulmus minor), showing autumn colour. Height 17"/42cm. Developed from an airlayered branch 12 years ago, some of you may recognise from my book Bonsai Inspirations 1. Pot by Victor Harris of Erin Bonsai."
Got a couple Harry Harrington beauties in fall color for you today. I lifted them from Harry’s facebook feed. Harry also has an excellent website, bonsai4me.com and three books in print in England. You can look for the U.S. edition of Foundations of Bonsai soon (Stone Lantern publishing).
Here's another deciduous tree that was originally Harry Harrington's. It's not as brilliant as his elm (above), but I like it anyway. Especially the nebari (exposed roots). Here's Harry's caption: "Lovely image I've just received of my Small-Leaved Lime/Tilia cordata bonsai, that now lives in Northamptonshire. Height 22"/56cm, I started it as a pencil-thick sapling in 2001 and its progression series can be seen in the book "Bonsai Inspirations 2." Bonsai pot by Victor Harris of Erin Pottery."
BTW: we call Tilia cordata 'Little leaf linden' on this side of the pond.
