You may remember this tree, but maybe...
...from this angle.
Way back on April 232rd we posted a blog titled Win Our $50 Japanese Red Pine Bonsai Contest (& Wire All the Way Out to the Tips). The contest had two parts. Rather than repeat the details here, I’ll just invite you to take a look for yourself.
Without further ado, your winners are…
Winner #1 is Brian Fields. He sent a link to the photo at the top of this post (from Peter Tea’s blog) almost immediately after the contest was posted. Brian got in just under the wire; several others followed suit in rapid succession.
Winner #2 is Dorothy (no last name given) from Ernies Bonsai (could that be Ernie Kuo?). Dorothy sent this link from Ken Fujiwara,the owner of the tree in question.
Further evidence that the tree belongs to Ken Fujiwara.
Not! Someone sent this photo from Bonsai World. Though it is a Japanese red pine and does have a similar feel to our tree in question, it just ain't the one. It belongs to Fujiyoshi Kandaka. If you'd like to know a bit more about Red pines and Fujiyoshi Kandaka you might want to visit Bonsai World.
