The magnificent monster was sent to us by Oscar at Bonsai Empire. It's part of a package about Bjorn Bjorholm's upcoming online intermediate bonsai course.
This post is not so much about this tree above (or the others shown here) as it is about an upcoming online bonsai course by Bjorn Bjorholm. However, I will assume a connection… that Bjorn at some point had a hand and scissors in them all. He has been fortunate in that regard; his six plus years of apprenticeship under the famous Bonsai master Keiichi Fujikawa afforded countless opportunities to advance his hard earned skills on some of the best bonsai in the world. Now Bjorn can help you advance your skills. All you have to do is sign up and show up!

Bjorn Bjorholm’s Intermediate Course is sponsored by our friend Oscar at Bonsai Empire and this is the first day to register. It’s as simple as clicking here.
