Grafted a Bonsai 13 Years Ago
July 21, 2009 · Leave a Comment
Akio Kondo has arrived from Japan – and Boon took him on the road with him. Their first stop was at Tom K. The fun part of this stop is that the tree below was originally grafted by Akio 13 years ago. Today it has shimpaku foliage. But 13 years ago it was completely California Juniper. It was one of those weepy califiornias that never would “tighten” up it’s foliage – so it was a fitting candidate.

Where Does the Accent Go?
July 12, 2009 · 8 Comments
This was Janet’s display last club meeting. It is a three-point display: two trees and an accent (or scroll, figurine, or viewing stone). The main tree was just on the edge of medium (Chuhin) and large (Ogata). But is the accent plant placed correctly in the picture below?
Boon felt that the accent plant above was not placed correctly. Usually in a chuhin display the accent accents the smaller bonsai. He felt that this accent was too small to have a visual impact with the main bonsai. He also said that if the small plant accented the smaller bonsai, the total mass of the small bonsai and the accent would make themselves more present in the total display. Take a look below. What do you think?
