Here's a before and after of a beautiful Bunjin Japanese red pine by Marco Invernizzi. From Marco's website.
Got a couple Japanese pines for you, including the before and after above by our friend Marco Invernizzi. We’ve featured Marco’s bonsai here on Bark going way back to early days and before that in several issues of Bonsai Today.
Want to improve the quality of your bonsai? Try wiring all the way out to the tips of the smallest branches. You'll be astounded by the results. The photo is from Bonsai Today issue 1. Back issues of Bonsai Today are now 25% to 35% off.
While we're on the topic of bonsai wire; you might want to order your wire now during our 20% to 25% off Kilo bonsai wire sale. This combined with FREE Shipping for U.S. orders 50.00 or more is a very good deal (be sure to choose free shipping when you check out).
This is the third time for this Japanese red pine, even though we still don't know who the artist is. The photo turned up on Michael Bonsai back in 2012. I'm guessing it lives in Japan, but I've searched Japanese red pine bonsai high and low and can't find it.
