I had a great weekend in belfast last weekend where bonsai 30 was held.here are some of my trees.this is my scots pineRobert porch gave me some great tips on improving my trees.this is my chinese elmThis is my white pineThis is my white pineThis is my field maple
Thanks so much.it was my first show and I think i have learnt a bit more about displaying trees and how to get the most out of a display,a great weekend.
Great trees and post! Have you ever thought about cutting back that field maple hard to bring the canopy more inward and make an overall more compact design? I think it would improve the tree greatly.
Yes you are right.I only got this tree 9 months ago so I didn’t know what way it was going to sprout.the plan is with this tree is to take it out of the pot and plant it in a timber box and graft new roots from whips and Chase back the canopy.
