I'm pretty sure this tree is a Persimmon (otherwise, why the persimmons?). The photo was taken by Harry Harrington at the recent European Bonsai San Show in Saulieu (Burgundy), France. The tree belongs to German Gomez Soler.
Bonsai artists that happen to be accomplished photographers can provide an illuminating peek into the heart of the art of bonsai. In this case, the artist/photographer is our friend Harry Harrington. Harry is also the author of several bonsai books that are quite popular in Europe (you can expect the U.S. edition of his Foundations of Bonsai soon).

Here’s what Harry Harrington has this to say about the photos shown here: “On October 15th and 16th 2016, I had the great pleasure of visiting the European Bonsai San Show in Saulieu, Burgundy, France. This was by far the best Show I have attended to date, with an incredibly high standard of trees, held in a large sports hall with excellent light and facilities, with a very friendly atmosphere. Credit must go to the organisers Fred Chenal and his wife Stephanie.
“Such was the standard of the trees in the exhibition I have a large number of images, of which these are just the first. A second follow-up article will emerge next week.”
