Full Attack Mode 11/17/15

aggression

Aggression. Everything is moving to the left. The deadwood, which is so dominant appears to be in full attack mode, while the crown and living branches provide some contrast (speaking of contrasts, you might notice the piece of wood pushing a piece of the trunk up and the wire pulling another piece down). Whether you like this tree or not, my guess is you'll remember it.

I found these photos here. Due to the language I don’t know much beyond that. Feel free to do your own research (you could start with the face below).

 

pine

The long needles and gnarled bark suggest a Japanese black pine, but I can't say for sure. The color of the pot plays well with the bark.

 

pine2

Another Japanese black pine?

 

field2

 Looks like a field grown Shimpaku juniper made to look like a yamadori. These have been popping up everywhere these days. Many, if not most, are from Taiwan. I'm not sure why the crown has been left so dense.

 

cascade

We'll call this one a bunjin, even though the foliage is too robust. In any case, you don't see too many cascading bunjin (or bunjin-like) trees.
