Out Stealing Bonsai Ideas 6/11/11

Major surgery. From a Bonsai Tonight post entitled ‘Best repotting of the year.’

Rapid evolution
There’s a lot going on with bonsai these days, and it’s happening fast and right before our eyes. If you look at the evolution of bonsai, you’ll find slow but steady development up until sometime in the 1980s when the explosion began. Kimura was introducing power tools and Bonsai was becoming international. Suddenly bonsai books and magazines were springing up everywhere, and, at the same time, along comes the internet. Now, new (and old) ideas abound everywhere.

Black ponderosa pine? Japanese black pine grafted onto an old collected Ponderosa pine by Michael Hagedorn. Speaking of, there’s a book for each: Poderosa Pine As Bonsai and our Masters’ Series Japanese Black and White Pine Bonsai (2nd printing due in July).

 

Definitely not a Japanese display concept. The ‘Finest Creative Western Formal Display’ by the North Carolina Arboretum, Asheville NC. From the 2nd US National Bonsai Exhibition.
