A later iteration of a Northern white cedar (Thuja Occidentalis) that we featured last year (see below). The tree’s potential has moved closer to realization (even with the photo’s missing top and right side). It belongs to Paul Chong. Both photos are originally from Lakeshore Bonsai, Toronto.
Keeping with our Cedar theme, here’s a good one that we’ve featured before (below). The later version (above) shows improvements worthy of bonsai artist with a sharp eye and a sure touch. It falls into the ‘untrue’ cedar category (Cedrus are true cedars and this one is a Thuja or Arborvitae). Just in case you’re interested in such fine points.
An earlier stage in the tree’s development that’s full of character and potential. This photo is borrowed from our March 8th, 2013 Bark post. The tree belongs to Paul Chong, whose cedar bonsai have been featured several times here on Bark (including a particularly powerful one that has been shown at least twice, the most recent from just the other day).
