One of Nick Lenz’ famous larches as it appears in Wikipedia.
A little Nick
Yesterday, we featured a couple of Candy Shirley’s bonsai that I believe had their start with Nick Lenz, so this seems like a good time to offer a little more Nick for your enjoyment.
The same tree: different angle, different time. Photo is from Nick’s book, Bonsai from the Wild (now on special at Stone Lantern).
The cover tree (American larch) from Nick’s book. Whoops! It’s a Northern white cedar (Thuja occidentalis).
Looking for larch stock?
I will be offering some of my collected and field grown larches soon. Stay posted.
Great blog Wayne.
Kind correction: the cover tree is an Eastern White Cedar, Thuja occidentalis – not a Larch.
Nick is the Master!
Thanks Aaron,
You are right. My mistake. Funny thing is, I’m the one that published the book and there was a time when I knew it was cedar (it’s in the cedar chapter too).
