Boon’s Big Bonsai 10/12/09

BoonCloseupBoon Manakitivipart takes a good look at an impressive wild specimen just before he digs it up (just kidding). From Boon’s new website.

BoonBigtreeThis shot gives you an idea of the scope and size of one of nature’s more impressive trees. I haven’t talked to Boon, so I don’t know the what or where, but my best guess is a juniper somewhere in the Sierra Nevadas. Maybe someone out there can set me straight.

BT108coverThe final issue of Bonsai Today (still available) features a Sierra juniper (Juniperus occidentalis) by Boon.
