Even the most jaded collector has to be amazed when they stumble upon a tree with this much character. I found it in Walter Pall's conifer gallery. Walter calls this species European spruce rather than the more commonly used Norway spruce. Either way, it's a Picea abies
Continuing with our yamadori (bonsai collected from the wild) theme… The three bonsai shown here represent a small sampling of Walter Pall’s huge conifer collection. Because it’s our next to last shipping day before Christmas, I don’t have time to wade through Walter’s conifers to try to identify the next two trees. However, you’re always welcome to do your own research

I like the scaly bark at the tree's base, a sure sign of age. And then there's the deadwood root (how often do you see that?) and just the overall natural feeling of the tree.Walter Pall has long been a strong proponent of what he calls ‘naturalistic bonsai.’ To my eye, all three trees in this post speak to that naturalistic sensibility. If you’d like to explore Walter’s thoughts on this subject, all you have to do is go back a bit into our archives.
The foliage is a little fuzzy and too far away to really tell, so when it comes to variety, your guess is as good as mine*Because we have no control once a package leaves our warehouse, we cannot guarantee arrival dates. Carriers are overburdened this time of year, so even their promised delivery dates can be unreliable
