Thanks Youri,
As artificial bonsai go, it’s a masterpiece. Attesting to this is the fact that both you and Walter were fooled, at least for a moment.

Yes this tree is an artificial tree, it first faked me too at the Noelanders Trophy. For everyone wondering who is the artist of this tree, it’s Paul Finch.

Greets,
Youri

The Carolina Bonsai Expo is always a great event. Held on the 2nd weekend of October, this event
bring in artists and vendors from all over the east coast. The WNC Arboretum has a wonderful bonsai collection maintained by the very talented but underrated Arthur Joura. Arthur is trying to break some bonsai stereotypes by using plant material that is native to this part of the country. If you happen to be around beautiful Asheville, NC the second weekend in October, please make a point to check out the Expo.

Points well taken. The boundaries are unclear. One thing for sure though, it has to be alive to be considered a bonsai.

It is the ultimate Tanuki!! (apologies to any clay raccoons).
However, a take-home message could be that the jin you always wanted can be molded and situated exactly where you want it. I’m not advocating that, but I have seen real jins and dead roots relocated and even transplanted without detection.
