After, but still in process. Collected Squamata juniper by Min Hsuan Lo.
Deep & wide
I was going to call this post Deep & Wide, due to the depth and breadth of Min Hsuan Lo’s work as reflected in his new blog. But Min’s spectacular photos of Jade Mountain prevailed in the end. Either way, I encourage you to take a look if you’d like to enjoy great photos and follow an excellent step-by-step journey through a restyling of a powerful old Sqaumata juniper.
Before. Vigorously growing stock with character provides a good starting point.
In process. A radical change. This is one of a series of step-by-step photos that Mr. Min provides in his new blog.
High and wide. Towering Jade Mountain, Taiwan. Photo courtesy of Min Hsuan Lo.
Another of Min Hsuan Lo’s trees. It’s from our Bonsai Bark archives.
Wayne,
The juniper in this post is not collected. It’s a Taiwan juniper, Juniperus chinensis var. formosana. The junipers in Hualien (Juniperus squamata), cannot survive the low elevations where most of the Taiwanese bonsai population is located. Also and as Taroko National Park is highly protected, collecting junipers there is prohibited by law.
Kind regards,
Jose Luis
