Ich habe das nicht entdeckt oder erfunden. Ich habe bloß moderne Gartenbaumethoden auf Bonsai übertragen. Diese Methoden werden außerhalb von Bonsai seit Jahrzehnten in vielen Millionen Gartenbaubetrieben angewendet. In der Bonsaiwelt erscheint das aber als revolutionär. Ich arbeite mit dieser Methode seit über zehn Jahren und weiß, dass viele tausend Bonsaigärtner in der ganzen Welt damit hervorragende Erfolge haben. Auch wenn die Beschreibung hier ein wenig hemdsärmelig, direkt aus der Gartenpraxis, daher kommt, sollte der Leser davon ausgehen, dass das im Wesentlichen dem momentanen wissenschaftlichen Stand entspricht.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span lang="de-DE"&gt;Ich wurde gebeten, für eine amerikanische Publikation einen Absatz über "Düngen von Nadelbäumen "zu schreiben. Also setzte ich mich hin und das ist das Ergebnis. Ich bemerkte während des Schreibens, dass es unverantwortlich war, nur einen Teil preis zu geben. Es ist unerlässlich, das Gesamtbild zu verstehen, alles andere kann zu groben Missverständnissen und auch zum Verlust von Bäumen führen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Substrat, Wässern und Düngen ist ein Gesamtkomplex, dessen Teile nicht einzeln für sich gesehen werden können. Jeder ist mit dem anderen verbunden und so wird es ziemlich umfangreich. Sei es ein Laubbaum, Nadelbaum, jung, alt, gerade umgetopft, oder sogar gesammelt, es gibt so viele Variablen innerhalb eines Bonsai-Gartens. Gibt es überhaupt ein klare Antwort?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nun ja, aber man muss sehr sorgfältig lesen, verstehen und dann auch ALLES tun. Es macht keinen Sinn, eine Information zu akzeptieren und die anderen zu ignorieren. So ist es z.B. ganz gefährlich, nach meiner Methode zu düngen, das Substrat und Wässern aber außer acht zu lassen. Es gibt immer wieder Menschen die sich an diesem "absolutistischem Anspruch" stoßen. Tut mir leid, so ist das eben.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Zuerst bitte ich, alles zu vergessen, was in der Bonsailiteratur allgemein über das Thema geschrieben steht. Neue Technologien und Erkenntnisse eröffnen uns effektive Methoden und Produkte, die weit über die Grenzen der Bonsaitradition hinaus gehen. Es ist eine neue Zeit in der Gärtnerei angebrochen, aber viele haben das noch nicht bemerkt. Auch wenn man mit den alten Methoden natürlich ein gewisses Maß an Erfolg erzielen konnte, schafften sie auch große Probleme. Jeder gestandene Bonsaigärtner "weiß", dass richtiges Gießen so ziemlich das Schwierigste im Bonsaileben ist, dass man mit zu viel Gießen Wurzelfäule erzeugt, dass man kaum oder überhaupt nicht chemisch düngen soll, dass man mit Stickstoff äußerst sparsam sein soll, usw.. Nur Probleme, alles von gestern, alles vergessen. Wer alte Methoden mit modernen vermischt, der kann großes Unheil anrichten.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span lang="de-DE"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Substrat&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="de-DE" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Gutes Substrat sollte folgende Eigenschaften haben: etwa gleiche Partikelgröße (ideal ist etwa 4mm), die Fähigkeit, Wasser aufzunehmen, zu speichern und abzugeben, keine Feinpartikel als Inhalt und auch kein organisches Material, sie dürfen nicht leicht zerfallen, sollten so leicht wie möglich sein, wenn sie trocken sind, vorzugsweise kostengünstig und eine ästhetisch ansprechendes Aussehen ist auch gefragt. Dies wäre dann: Lava, Bims, gebackener Lehm, Blähton, Zeolith, Kokosfasern, Rindenstücke, Styroporstücke (kein Witz) und ein paar mehr, die Sie selbst finden können, wenn Sie das Prinzip verstanden haben. Einige dieser Materialien sind möglicherweise in Ihrer Region nicht verfügbar. Es gibt aber immer Ersatz.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Normales Akadama (das ist ebenfalls modernes Substrat) ist bedenklich, es zerfällt irgend wann unweigerlich, besonders wenn es im Winter Frost ausgesetzt ist. Es kann dann zu tödlichem Lehm in der Schale werden, der verhindert, dass Wasser abfließen kann und Luft an die Wurzeln kommt. Dies gilt vor allem für Bäume, die selten umgetopft werden, also für alle Koniferen und insbesondere für alte, gesammelte Nadelbäume. Für Laubbäume, die alle drei Jahre oder öfter umgetopft werden ist Akadama unbedenklich, auch in unseren Breiten.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="de-DE" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="de-DE" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=6766982247296412626&amp;amp;postID=8337948309675514934&amp;amp;from=pencil" name="result_box2"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Folgende Substrate, die früher empfohlen wurden, sind nicht geeignet: jede Art von natürlicher Erde, Gartenerde, Kompost, Steine, Sand etc.. Bäume wachsen natürlich in Erde und Sand aber für die Bonsai-Kultur ist das ganz sicher kein gut geeignetes Pflanzmedium. Das haben viele wissenschaftliche Studien eindeutig ergeben. Baumarten, die Trockenheit vertragen, ja sogar lieben, wie Kiefern, gedeihen auch in Kies. Trotzdem empfehle ich eher moderners Substrat.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="de-DE" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alle Substrate können nach Belieben gemischt werden und es macht fast keinen Unterschied. Sie können auch recycelt und wieder verwendet werden. Aber stellen Sie sicher, dass die recycelten Materialien keine organischen und staubigen Bestandteile enthalten.Man kann altes Substrat ganz einfach in einen Kübel geben, halb voll, Wasser drauf, umrühren, Wasser weg schütten. Das macht man mehrfach und das Substrat ist rein und kann wieder verwendet werden. Es wird zu viel über die "beste" Mischung geschrieben. Es gibt nicht so etwas wie das "ideale Bonsai-Substrat". Es gibt in der Tat tausende von idealen Substraten. Ich glaube, dass es egal ist was Sie verwenden und in welcher Mischung, solange es sich um moderne Substrate handelt&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="de-DE" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Modernes Substrat ist wasserdurchlässig, es speichert Wasser, aber durch die in etwa gleich großen festen Partikel bilden sich stabile Zwischenräume, durch die das Wasser verlässlich ab rinnt. Es wird immer alles ab rinnen, was zu viel ist, egal wie viel man gießt. Genau diese Drainagefunktion wird durch den Zusatz von Erde zerstört. Erde füllt die Zwischenräume und der Drainageeffekt funktioniert nicht mehr. Übrigens ist einen Drainageschicht nicht mehr notwendig, das gesamte Substrat ist ja Drainageschicht. Es hat sich immer noch zu wenig herumgesprochen, dass die Wurzeln unbedingt immer frische Luftzufuhr benötigen. Nur wenn sie ständig Sauerstoff erhalten, bleiben sie funktionsfähig. Die Wurzeln, die ersticken, sterben ab; danach faulen sie. Der Bonsaigärtner meint, der Baum sei and Wurzelfäule gestorben. Er war aber schon vorher tot und danach sind die Wurzeln verfault, weil sie im Sumpf standen. Egal, durch modernes Substrat wird das verlässlich verhindert. Die Drainageeingenschaft des Substrats erfüllt gleichzeitig die Forderung nach ständiger Luftzufuhr.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Weil moderne Substrate keine Erde enthalten, weisen sie auch nur wenig oder kein Leben auf. Sie trocknen schnell und man muss oft mehrmals am Tag wässern, wenn es heiß ist. Deshalb füge ich groben Torf zusätzlich zu den zuvor genannten Substraten. Dies ist die Art von Torf, die in Hochmooren geerntet wird und in der natürlichen grober Form erhältlich ist. Stellen Sie sicher, nicht zu feine Partikel von Torf zu verwenden, auch wenn er als "staubfrei" beschrieben ist. Falls grober Torf nicht erhältlich ist, können auch kleine Rindenstückchen oder Kokosfasern verwendet werden. Diese organischen Komponenten sollten 15-20% des Gesamtvolumens einnehmen, ein bisschen weniger bei Koniferen, Oliven und anderen Baumarten, die es eher trocken mögen, und ein bisschen mehr mit Laubbäumen, kleinen Bäumen und Azaleen. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="de-DE" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=6766982247296412626&amp;amp;postID=8337948309675514934&amp;amp;from=pencil" name="result_box3"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;In große Bonsaischalen und Anzuchtgefässen für gesammelte Bäume fülle ich meistens reines Substrat ohne Torfzusatz. Kiefern und Wacholder gedeihen meistens besser in reinem Substrat, bei Fichten im allgemeinen und bei Koniferen in kleinen Schalen nehme ich 20% Torfanteil. Auch die Topfpflanzen um mein Haus und Tomaten in Kübeln werden in genau das gleiche Substrat gesetzt. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Diese organischen Materialien sind gut für die Erhaltung der Luftfeuchtigkeit und für die Unterstützung der Ansiedlung von nützlichen Kleinlebewesen im Boden. Es gibt auch Forschungsergebnisse, die aussagen, dass das Torfmoos Pflanzenhormone enthält, die für Bäume günstig wirken. Die genannten Zusatzstoffe sind organische Materialien, die normalerweise in einem Bonsai-Substrat nichts zu suchen haben, die jedoch so etwa fünf Jahre aushalten bevor sie zerfallen und schädlich werden. Das muss man bei der Zeitplanung für das Umtopfen berücksichtigen. Das organische Material sollte auch aus jedem Substrat, das recycelt wird, gesiebt oder gewaschen werden.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="de-DE" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Ich verwende für alle Bäume dasselbe Substrat. Das kann im Laufe des Jahres von der genauen Zusammensetzung variieren, weil ich immer wieder altes Substrat neu verwende und auch mal mehrere verschiedene Substratanteile wahllos mische. Ich kümmere mich überhaupt nicht um die genaue Zusammensetzung sondern achte nur sehr genau darauf, dass nur modernes Substrat ganz ohne Erde verwendet wird.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="de-DE" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Wässern&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="de-DE" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Mit modernem Substrat ist alles hinfällig, was sie bisher über das Wässern wissen. Man kann kaum mehr zu viel gießen, aber durchaus zu wenig. Man muss sich nicht um einzelne Bäume kümmern, sondern es wird der ganze Bestand gleichmäßig durch gegossen. Ich wässere von Ende März bis Mitte Oktober fast täglich. Dies ist unabhängig davon, ob die Bäume zu trocken scheinen oder nicht. Nur wenn es stark regnet verzichte ich auf das Wässern. Wenn es heiß ist, oder starker Wind herrscht, oder gar eine Kombination der beiden, wässere ich zweimal an einem Tag. Sehr kleine Bäume müssen häufiger als zweimal pro Tag bewässert werden. Alle Bäume werden flächendeckend gleich gewässert. Individuelle Bewässerung ist nicht erforderlich, wenn alle Ihre Bäume in modernem Substrat stehen. Es ist auch kein Problem mehr, zu verreisen und einer vertrauenswürdigen Person das Gießen bei zu bringen. Jeder halbwegs vernünftige Mensch lernt das in fünf Minuten. Es muss nur alles gründlich bewässert werden. Es spielt auch keine Rolle, welche Art von Wasser verwendet wird. Wasser mit dem man kocht, das der Hund trinkt, kann immer zum Gießen verwendet werden. Leitungswasser ist sehr geeignet für alle Pflanzen, auch wenn es hartes Wasser ist. Ich habe eines der härtesten Wasser in Europa in meinem Garten (23 ° DH). Trotzdem benutze ich es für alles einschließlich der Azaleen (das muss aber nicht jeder so machen). Ich gieße mit einem Gartenschlauch, mit voller Geschwindigkeit, aber ziemlich fein zerstäubt. Ich gieße nicht einzelnen Bäume, sondern ganze Gartenteile, genau so, wie man einen Blumen- oder Nutzgarten gießt. Mit Regenwasser kann man natürlich auch gießen. Das ist nicht so viel besser als Leitungswasser wie viele meinen. Es ist im Gegenteil so, dass beim Gießen mit Regenwasser deutlich mehr und öfter gedüngt werden muss. Im Leitungswasser sind nämlich sehr viele Mineralstoffe, im Regenwasser ist nichts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Diese Art der Bewässerung kann man auch aggressiv nennen. Das bedeutet, alles wird sehr nass, der ganzen Baum von oben nach unten. Das Wasser muss über die Erdoberfläche und aus den Abzugslöchern ablaufen. Der Bonsaistandplatz wird pitschnass und es dauert oft Stunden, bis alles verdunstet ist, was wiederum ein gutes Mikroklima erzeugt. Mit modernen Substraten ist Überwässerung fast unmöglich. Viele Bonsai kümmern oder sterben, weil sie in modernem Substrat sitzen und nach den alten Methoden bewässert werden - sie werden deutlich zu wenig gegossen und verdursten fast oder ganz.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span lang="de-DE"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Düngen&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span lang="de-DE"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="de-DE" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Mit modernem Substrat und aggressiver Wässerung ist Düngung kein Geheimnis mehr. Fast jeder normale Dünger ist brauchbar, egal ob organisch oder mineralisch (chemisch). Dünger für Bonsai muss auf jeden Fall Stickstoff enthalten, ja sogar viel Stickstoff. Nur mit Stickstoff können Pflanzen wachsen. Es ist ein ewiges Missverständnis, dass Bonsai möglichst nicht wachen sollen und deshalb stickstoffarm gehalten werden. Tatsächlich kann man einen Bonsai nur gestalten, wen er gut wächst und man immer wieder etwas weg schneiden kann was nachgewachsen ist. Dazu muss ein Bonsai eher mehr gedüngt werden als andere Pflanzen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ich verwende hauptsächlich Flüssigdünger, den ich bei unserem billigsten allgemeinen Diskont-Markt kaufe. Jeder Flüssigdünger, der für normalen Gebrauch in Gartencentern erhältlich ist, kann sehr gut für Bonsai verwendet werden. Darüber hinaus verwende ich den Festdünger, der in Granulatform in Schachteln angeboten wird. Es ist mir egal, ob da Erdbeeren, Blumen oder Tannen aufgemalt sind. Zwei mal im Jahr, Anfang Mai und gegen Ende August, werfe ich eine Handvoll getrockneten Hühnermist auf die Erdoberfläche. Ich kaufe diesen in großen Säcken, die sehr preiswert sind. Für alle meine Bäume, darunter die weltberühmten, verwende ich den gleichen Dünger.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="de-DE" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Früher dachte man viel darüber nach, was welcher Baum zu welcher Jahreszeit benötigt. Allerdings weiß das der Baum besser und er nimmt sich das aus dem Angebot, was er benötigt. Wenn aggressive gedüngt wird, dann wird er rasch wird ausgewaschen und es kann sich kein Salz im Boden anreichern. Es hat sich herausgestellt, das man sie die sog. "Herbstdüngung" sparen kann. Es ist in Ordnung, mit demselben Dünger im Sommer und Herbst zu arbeiten.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wie viel? VIEL MEHR ALS SIE DENKEN! Ich dünge 20 bis 60 Mal mehr als der durchschnittliche Bonsaihalter. Von Anfang April bis Mitte Oktober wird alle zehn Tage mit der Gießkanne in normales Wasser aufgelöster Flüssigdünger zugeführt, mit drei bis vier mal der empfohlenen Dosis. Alle Bäume werden gleich, gedüngt, ob Laub-, Nadel-, klein, groß, gerade umgetopft, gesammelt oder nicht. Die Bäume werden also in der aktiven Vegetationsperiode, die bei mir etwa 200 Tage beträgt, voll gedüngt. Ich gieße bei größeren Bäumen hauptsächlich auf die Erdoberfläche, bei kleineren über den ganzen Baum hinweg. Das ist nicht schädlich, solange man das nicht bei strahlendem Sonnenschein macht. Im Winter kann man auch ein wenig düngen. Das macht dann etwa 60 Düngeeinheiten in der Vegetationsperiode. Wenn man dann noch die Hühnermistgaben zweimal pro Jahr hinzu fügt, dann kann man verstehen, warum ich behaupte, 20 bis 60 Mal mehr als der Durchschnitt zu düngen. Der durchschnittliche Bonsaihalter düngt vielleicht drei bis fünfmal im Jahr mit der Hälfte der normalen Dosis, weil "Bonsai nicht wachsen sollen". &lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="de-DE" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Nun meinen natürlich die meisten, dass das was ich mache, zu viel ist und sich da auch Nachteile ergeben müssen. Zu viel ist es nicht, davon kann sich jeder jederzeit in meinem Garten ein Bild machen. Viele anerkannte Diplom-Gärtner und Bonsaigärtner haben sich schon sehr lobend über den Gesundheitszustand meiner Bäume ausgelassen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="de-DE" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Ich dünge so alle sieben bis zehn Tage mit der Gießkanne voll Wasser in das ich den Flüssigdünger schütte. Das funktioniert sehr gut, aber es gibt auch andere Methoden. Vielleicht wäre es noch besser, jeden Tag bei jedem Gießgang ein klein wenig zu düngen. Das ist bei mir nicht praktikabel, weil es ja oft wochenlang regnet und ich dann gar nicht gieße und weil ich bei 1.000 Bäumen mit der Gießkanne etwa 90 Minuten hart arbeiten muss, mit dem Gartenschlauch aber in 30 Minuten ohne Anstrengung durch bin. Wer also täglich oder fast täglich düngen will, der kann das gerne tun. Allerdings muss die Düngermenge dann natürlich entsprechend reduziert werden. Ein Freund gießt jeden Tag mit Wasser direkt aus dem großen Koiteich mit besten Erfolgen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Asiatische Düngekuchen funktionieren, sind aber in unserer Kultur überflüssig .Wir essen nicht Steak mit Stäbchen und müssen auch Pflanzen nicht mit Kuchen düngen. Aber sie richten keinen Schaden an, wenn Sie darauf bestehen; sie sind nur hässlich und riechen meist und die Vögel und Hunde tragen sie fort. Biogold ist sehr gut, nur auch sehr teuer. Es kann mit modernen&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="de-DE" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=6766982247296412626&amp;amp;postID=8337948309675514934&amp;amp;from=pencil" name="result_box6"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Substraten wie Akadama eingesetzt werden, und es funktioniert hervorragend. Wenn man es mir schenkt, dann zerbreche ich es in sehr kleine Teilchen, die ich dann über die Substratoberfläche streue. Nach einem Gießvorgang wird das Biogold dann unsichtbar..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mineralische, also chemische Dünger sind im wesentlichen Salze. Es wird deshalb immer davor gewarnt, weil sich damit Salz in der Erde anreichern kann und dadurch die Erde schlecht bis giftig machen kann. Zu viel Salz im Substrat ist fast unmöglich, wenn man jeden Tag aggressiv wässert. Bei jedem Wasserdurchlauf wird das überschüssige Salz weg gewaschen. Genau deshalb muss man aber auch so viel mehr düngen! Auch Azaleen haben nichts gegen meine Behandlung. Sie gedeihen sehr gut mit sehr hartem Wasser, gebackenem Lehm und Torf als Substrat und aggressiver Düngung wie der ganze Rest der Bäume.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="de-DE" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vor etwa fünfzehn Jahren war "Super-Düngung" ein Begriff um den es dann rasch wieder still wurde. Die erwarteten Ergebnisse haben sich nur teilweise eingestellt und viele Bäume litten und starben sogar. Was ich empfehle, klingt ähnlich. Nun, es ist ähnlich, nur dass ich auf aggressive Wässerung bestehe parallel zu aggressiver Düngung und den Einsatz moderner Substrate. Einfach nur aggressiv zu düngen ohne das andere zu berücksichtigen kann sehr gefährlich sein.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="de-DE" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Man kann das Düngen zu einer Wissenschaft machen und alles akribisch nach Vorschrift und mit Aufzeichnungen und Geräten und viel Aufwand machen. Nun ja, man kann auch das Essen zur Wissenschaft machen. Aber trotzdem genießen es die meisten völlig ohne wissenschaftliche Tabellen und vielerlei Geräten. Es kommt ja nicht darauf an, dass die Bäume unbedingt so stark wachsen, wie es überhaupt möglich ist. Wenn sie bloß besser wachsen als früher, reicht es doch. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="de-DE" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Die aggressive Düngung ist richtig für alle Bonsai die sich "in Entwicklung" befinden. Bei mir sind 99% aller Bonsai "in Entwicklung". Wenn Sie welche haben, die sich absolut nicht mehr verändern sollen, dann nehmen sie die Düngung zurück. Sie lassen den Baum dann absichtlich hungern. Dann wird er immer weniger wachsen, Blätter und Nadeln werden kleiner. Das ist gut für Ausstellungen, aber mit Ihrem Baum wird es bergab gehen, wenn Sie das zu lange weiterhin tun. Nach ein paar Jahren muss dann dieser Baum wieder aggressiv gedüngt werden, damit er sich erholen und neu aufgebaut werden kann.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="de-DE" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Zusammenfassung&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span lang="de-DE"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;Alle drei Komponenten müssen voll berücksichtigt werden&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span lang="de-DE"&gt;&lt;b&gt;. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span lang="de-DE"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;Leider haben Sie da &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span lang="de-DE"&gt;keine Wahl. Wer sich aus den Vorschlägen einen herauspickt und ansonsten alles so macht wie früher, der wird Schiffbruch erleiden. Wer aggressiv düngt mit viel chemischem Dünger, aber Erde in der Schale hat, der bringt seine Bäume um. Wer modernes Substrat verwendet und folglich täglich gießen muss, aber düngt wie früher, dem verhungern die Bonsai.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="de-DE" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Also Zurück zur Eingangsfrage "Wie düngt man Nadelbäume?" Genau so wie alle anderen Bäume. Man muss aber die ganze Geschichte kennen."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span lang="de-DE"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Nachtrag und Verfeinerung&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span lang="de-DE"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Nach mehr als zehn Jahren eigenen Erfahrungen mit der Methode kann als gesichert gelten, dass sie gut funktioniert und hervorragende Ergebnisse erzielt. Das wurde auch von tausenden Bonsaigärtnern in der ganzen Welt bestätigt, die sich angeschlossen haben. Aus vielen Ländern wird von Gärtnern berichtet, die unabhängig von meinen Ausführungen auf dieselben oder sehr ähnlichen Ergebnisse gestoßen sind, einfach durch Anwendung der modernen Gartenbaumethoden in der Bonsaihaltung. Ich habe nie behauptet, das alles selber erfunden zu haben. Ich habe bloß inzwischen in der Gärtnerei alltägliche Methoden für Bonsai angewendet und das bekannt gemacht. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Trotzdem ergeben sich immer wieder kleinere und auch größere Probleme. Meistens sind es solche, die mit fehlerhafter Anwendung zu tun haben. Wer über Jahre, ja Jahrzehnte mit Bonsaierde gearbeitet hat, der wird dazu neigen, ins moderne Substrat wenigstens ein wenig Erde hinein zu schmuggeln. Das kann fatale Auswirkungen haben. Dann wird natürlich die gesamte Methode und nicht der eigene Fehler verantwortlich gemacht. Wer über sehr lange Zeit gelernt hat, dass das richtige Gießen das Wichtigste und Schwierigste ist, was man zu lernen hat, der wird grobe Fehler machen. Er wird einfach nicht akzeptieren, dass man mit modernem Substrat fast nicht übergießen, aber sehr wohl untergießen kann. Er wird dazu neigen, zu wenig zu gießen, weil man ja "weiß" dass die meisten Fehler beim Übergießen gemacht werden. Es will einfach nicht in die Köpfe hinein, dass man da nicht mehr viel denken muss. Einfach gießen, im Zweifelsfall mehr als man denkt! Aber das kann ja gar nicht sein! Also wird modernes Substrat verwendet und die Bäume viel zu wenig gegossen und gedüngt. Als Ergebnis verkümmern sie.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Immer wieder bekomme ich Hinweise, dass jemand mit dem modernen Substrat nicht zurecht kommt. "Ich habe keinen sicheren Hinweis über das Austrocknen des Substrates mehr, ich weiß nicht mehr, wann ich gießen soll!" Nun, wer über viele Jahre immer dann gegossen hat, wenn die Oberflächen des Schaleninhalts (Erde oder Substrat) trocken erscheinen, der wird in der Tat Schwierigkeit haben. Moderne Substrate trocknen nämlich an der Oberfläche oft sehr rasch aus. Der Unerfahrene meint dann, es ist wieder höchste Zeit zu Gießen. Er "weiß" aber auch, dass es "falsch" ist, zu viel zu gießen. Also ist er hin und her gerissen. Oft wird wieder zu der gewohnten Bonsaierde zurückgekehrt. Da "weiß" man nämlich, was man zu tun hat. Tatsächlich ist es viel einfacher: Die Austrocknung der Substratoberfläche ist kein schlüssiger Hinwies darauf, ob gegossen werden soll. Der Bonsaigärtner muss lernen, andere Hinweise zu erkennen. Es ist eigentlich noch einfacher: man gießt jeden Tag reichlich, egal ob die Oberfläche trocken scheint oder nicht. Falls trotzdem während des Tages gewisse "Zeigerbäume" die Blätter etwas hängen lassen, gießt man eben zwei mal. Zeigerbäume sind solche, die stets als erste Durst haben. Das sind z.b. Fächerahorn, Linde, viele Straucharten. Es sind auch Unkräuter, die sich in Bonsaischalen niedergelassen haben. Lange bevor der Baum die Blätter hängen lässt, hängen einige Unkräuter. Aber tatsächlich ist das nur wichtig um festzustellen, dass man zusätzlich zur täglichen Gießroutine noch einmal gießen muss. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="de-DE" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Leider geschieht es auch bei diesen modernen Methoden immer wieder, dass ein Baum wegen Überwässerung leidet oder gar eingeht. Es stellt sich dann immer heraus, dass er nicht wirklich in modernem Substrat saß. Manchmal ist es nur an der Oberfläche gestreut und darunter ist Erde. Oft ist der innere Wurzelballen voll mit Erde und steckt in einer Schale wo sich außen herum Substrat befindet. Das kann gut gehen, muss aber nicht. Der Baum gehört so rasch wie möglich umgetopft und die Erde mit Substrat ersetzt. Leider ist es mir passiert, dass Neuzugänge mit bösen Folgen arglos so wie alles andere gegossen wurden, weil ich fest davon ausging, dass sie voll in modernem Substrat saßen. Inzwischen habe ich eine Ecke in der alles steht, was fragwürdig ist oder eindeutig in Erde steht und auf das Umtopfen wartet. Diese Ecke wird so vorsichtig gegossen und gedüngt, wie es unter diesen Umständen angebracht ist.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Obwohl deutlich so geschrieben, haben einige nicht verstanden, dass das tägliche Gießen nur in der aktiven Vegetationsperiode gilt. Das ist in meinem Klima im Außenbereich von Anfang April bis Anfang Oktober.. Im Glashaus ist das von Ende Februar bis zur Leerung des Glashauses. Es gibt immer wieder Bonsaigärtner, die dann im Winter jeden Tag weiter gießen und oft fragen, was zu tun ist, wenn die Bäume gefroren sind. Natürlich wird nicht jeden Tag gegossenen, wenn die Bäume den Winterschlaf angetreten haben. Es wird außen je nach Bedarf gegossen. Das heißt in meinem Klima, dass ich in machen Jahren den ganzen Winter lang überhaupt nicht gieße, weil es immer wieder regnet oder schneit. Meistens wird das bei anderen aber nicht der Fall sein. Man muss eben gießen, wenn die Bäume zu trocken werden. Das kann dann schon zweimal die Woche sein. Im Glashaus wird ohnehin alle paar Tage auch im Winter gegossen. Gefrorene Bäume werden nicht gegossen. Allerdings besteht die Gefahr, dass die Krone austrocknet, wenn sie der Sonne und dem Wind ausgesetzt ist während der Wurzelballen fest gefroren ist. Deshalb ist ein Standort zu wählen, der möglichst vollen Sonnen- und Windschutz bietet. Die Kronen sollten immer wieder besprüht werden, insbesondere die von Nadelbäumen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Was bisher besprochen wurde, sind Ungereimtheiten, die entstanden sind, weil einzelne Gärtner die Methode nicht in vollem Umfang verstanden haben oder verstehen wollten. Es wurde mehrfach darauf hingewiesen, dass das sehr gefährlich ist. Entweder man wendet die Methode voll, in allen Teilen an, oder man lässt es ganz.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Trotzdem haben sich über die Jahre einige Zweifel beim Verfasser eingeschlichen. Es wurde festgestellt, dass es den allermeisten Bäumen nach Einführung der Methode besser ging als vorher. Nur einige Arten zeigten arge Mangelerscheinungen und einige, die vorher ganz munter waren, waren sogar dem Tod geweiht. Es handelt sich dabei insbesondere um fünfnadelige Kiefern (Pinus pentaphylla, Pinus cembra) und den gemeinen Wacholder (Juniperus communis). Diese Arten zeigen immer wieder gelbliche bis stark gelbe Nadeln. Das ist ganz bedenklich, wenn es sich um diesjährige Nadeln handelt. Prompt sterben erschreckend viele Äste und leider auch ganze Bäume in Folge ab. Es ist bekannt, dass sehr viele Gärtner weder den gemeinen Wacholder noch die Mädchenkiefer (und auch die Zirbelkiefer) über länger Zeiträume als Bonsai halten können. Der Verfasser ist da keine Ausnahme. Es gibt aber immer wieder Gärtner, die keinerlei Probleme mit diesen Arten haben, jedoch auch nach intensiver Nachfrage nicht erklären könne, was sie anders oder besser machen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Ein weiteres Phänomen, das nicht nur in meinem Garten aufgetaucht ist, ist, dass deutliche Mangelerscheinungen an Laubbäumen auftauchten: dunkelgrüne Blattadern deutlich sichtbare Farb- und auch Formänderungen im Blatt. Diese Erscheinungen sind zwar nicht tödlich, aber doch sehr beunruhigend. Es kann doch nicht sein, dass Bäume, die um Längen besser gedüngt werden als alle anderen, Mangelerscheinungen haben! Doch, es kann!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Nach langem Nachdenken über die Zusammenhänge kam ich zum Schluss, dass die Mangelerscheinungen gerade wegen der starken Düngung auftauchten. Das Gesetz des Minimums macht an meinen Gartengrenzen nicht halt.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Wikipedia: "Das Minimumgesetz (von lateinisch Minimum, „das Geringste“, von Carl Sprengel 1828 veröffentlicht, von Justus von Liebig in erweiterter Form popularisiert) besagt, dass das Wachstum von Pflanzen durch die im Verhältnis knappste Ressource (Nährstoffe, Wasser, Licht etc.) eingeschränkt wird. Diese Ressource wird auch als Minimumfaktor bezeichnet. Bei Vorliegen eines solchen Mangelfaktors hat es keinen Einfluss auf das Wachstum, wenn eine Ressource hinzu gegeben wird, die bereits im benötigten Umfang vorhanden ist. Das Minimumgesetz ist u.a. eine wichtige Grundlage bei der Düngung."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Von Ende März bis Mitte Oktober wird bei mir gedüngt. Anfangs mineralisch und ab Mitte Mai organisch (mit Hühnermist, Fledermausguano, Runderdung und ähnlichem - mit allem was stinkt), organisch einmal kräftig Anfang Mai und wieder gegen Ende August; dazwischen und bis Mitte Oktober mineralisch. So war das bisher. Die Düngergaben waren mehr als dreimal so hoch wie auf den Packungen angegeben. Die Bäume haben es mir gedankt mit sagenhaft kräftigem und gesundem Wuchs. Nur die fünfnadeligen Kiefern und der gemeine Wacholder litten sichtlich. Wegen des Erfolges habe ich dann die Düngergaben gesteigert. Die Bäume wuchsen noch besser. Leichte Mangelerscheinungen wurden erst einmal mit einem Achselzucken hingenommen. Ich habe dann eine dritte Periode der organischen Düngung gegen Mitte Juli eingeführt. Die mineralischen Gaben wurden leicht gesteigert. Dann entstanden plötzlich deutliche Mangelerscheinungen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Mein Fazit: Neben den allseits bekannten und in jedem handelsüblichen Dünger vorhandenen Stoffen benötigen Bäume zusätzlich in meist geringen Mengen besondere, seltene Stoffe. Das Fehlen dieser Stoffe fällt um so mehr auf, je mehr mit den herkömmlichen Stoffen gedüngt wird. Es fiel mir auf, dass die fünfnadeligen Kiefern und die Wacholder besonders nach kräftiger organischer Düngung gelb wurden. Das schien mir paradox, weil ja gerade die organische Düngung so gut anschlug - im Allgemeinen. Genau das ist es: die organische Düngung mit besonders viel Stickstoff regt die Bäume zu besonders starkem Wachstum an. Das geht aber nur, wenn ALLE benötigten Stoffe vorhanden sind, auch die Spurenelemente. Einige davon sind aber im organischen Dünger nicht, oder nicht in genügender Menge vorhanden. Dann entstehen eben Mangelerscheinungen. Und was ist mit den Gärtnern, die keinen Problem haben? Die haben eben zufällig, z.B. im Gießwasser, die benötigten Spurenelemente. Und was ist mit den mineralischen Düngern? Die haben die ganz seltenen Spurenelemente auch oft nicht oder nicht in den erforderlichen Mengen. Die haben die in den Mengen, die für die Stickstoffgabe des Mineraldüngers ausreichend sind. Aber sie haben sie nicht für die kräftige organische Düngung in ausreichendem Maß. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Wahrscheinliche Ursache erkannt! Was tun? Eine Möglichkeit wäre es, einfach mit der kräftigen Düngung zurück zu fahren. Das würde sicherlich nützen. Aber ich will ja gerade das kräftige, gesunde Wachstum. Also ging ich auf die Suche nach Spezialdüngern für Mangelerscheinungen. Da fiel mir das Angebot einer italienischen Firma an organischen Düngern sowie insbesondere an Spezialdüngern für Mangelerscheinungen auf. Ich konnte den deutschen Vertreter davon überzeugen, mir eine Batterie der Spezialdünger für Versuchszwecke zur Verfügung zu stellen. Also erhielt so ein Dutzend Literflaschen, voll mit jeweils einem allgemeinen Dünger, der mit besonderen Stoffen angereichert war:Bor, Eisen, Kalium, Kupfer, Magnesium, allgemeine Mikroelemente besondere Stickstoff, Auxym, Enzym, was weiß ich und noch einiges mehr. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Toll! Aber was nun? Es gibt jede Mengen Literatur über Mangelerscheinungen, deren Auswirkung , Aussehen usw.. Aber das ist alles äußerst kompliziert und bezieht sich fast immer auf irgendwelche Gemüsesorten. Wenn trotzdem eine Mangelerscheinung an einem bestimmten Baum deutlich festgestellt wurde, was war nun die geeignete Methode? Eindeutig konnte Eisenmangel an fünfnadeligen Kiefern und Azaleen festgestellt werden. Bei Azaleen wird das auch in der Literatur oft erwähnt. Gut, also zusätzlich zu dem Spezialdünger auch Eisenpulver gekauft. Das ist ganz billig. Aber welche Menge und wie oft? Fragen über Fragen!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Für einen brauchbaren Test benötigt man sehr viel Vergleichsmaterial. Als Beispiel tausend gleich alte, gleich große Eichen aus genetisch identischem Material, also Stecklinge, in gleich großen Gefäßen mit demselben Substrat. Dann noch einmal tausend, bei denen ein Faktor bei der Düngung geändert wird. Dann noch einmal viele tausend mit jeweils einem Faktor, der anders ist. Dann dasselbe mit allen anderen gängigen Baumarten und -sorten. Also mehrere hunderttausend Bäume! Dann werden tausend als Vergleichsgruppe ein ganzes Jahr mit der normalen Methode gedüngt und tausend mit dem Spezialdünger. Dasselbe dann mit allen zwölf Spezialdüngern. Am Ende des Jahres hat man einen Hinweis, ob der Spezialdünger hilfreich ist und welcher es ist. Das aber nur für eine Baumart. Wenn man das zu Ende denkt, kommt man zu dem Schluss, dass das unmöglich ist - nicht nur für einen kleinen Bonsaigärtner, &lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Selbst wenn ich von einer Art zweihundert Bäume habe, dann ist ein saubere Test unmöglich. Die Bäume sind nicht gleich groß, nicht gleich alt, sehen in verschiedenem Substrat, haben verschiedene Herkünfte, also deutlich unterschiedliche Gene. Also ist ein Test sinnlos. Da kann man gleich irgend was hin schütten, ein Kreuz machen, sich dreimal umdrehen und hoffen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Beim allgemeinen Dünger besteht ein ähnliches Problem, wenn man einen ganz bunt gemischten Garten hat und nun jeweils 'richtigen' Dünger für einen speziellen Baum benutzen will. Was ist 'richtig' und wie viel davon? &lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Als einfacher ungelernter Gärtner bin ich da völlig überfordert. Aber irgend etwas muss geschehen! Ich gehe davon aus, dass Chemiker die einen bestimmten Dünger für Mangelerscheinungen herstellen, ihn auch vernünftig getestet haben, bevor er auf den Markt kommt. Also was soll ICH da noch testen? Aber die Frage bleibt, was, wo wie viel und wie oft ich benutzen sollte. Mittlerweile zeigten mehr Bäume Mangelerscheinungen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Als praktischer Mensch aus den Bergen fiel mir dann das 'große Buffet' ein:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Man denke sich einen Vater, der eine sehr eigenwillige Tochter mit Beziehungen in der ganzen Welt hat. Sie, als Mitteleuropäerin, will einen Chinesen heiraten und zum Hochzeitsfest die ganze Bekanntschaft einladen. Das sind dann Chinesen, Japaner, Südamerikaner, Nordamerikaner, Vegetarier, Juden, Christen Moslems, Fleischesser, Reisesser, Nudelesser und was sonst, jedenfalls einige hundert. Der Vater hat den Auftrag, das Hochzeitmenü zu erstellen - ein völlig unmögliches Unterfangen. Selbst wenn er jedem, der kommen will, einen langen Fragebogen zuschickt, den der auch noch ausfüllt, wird er mit Sicherheit vielen das Falsche servieren. Was macht der arme Vater? Er bestellt ein gigantisches Buffet. Alles, was man so essen kann ist da, warm und kalt, alles was man so trinken kann. Am großen Tag kommen sie alle und danach schwärmen sie vom tollen Hochzeitsschmaus. Jeder weiß genau, was er will, dank des reichlichen Angebots findet er es auch. Was übrig bleibt, isst die Familie in den kommenden drei Monaten.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Schönes Gleichnis. Für meine Bäume sah das dann so aus: ich goss in etwa dieselbe Menge aus jeder Flasche in einen großen Behälter. Dazu gab ich reichlich Eisenpulver und noch obendrein Magnesium, kräftige umgerührt und fertig. Etwas Krötenschleim, drei Kreuze, dreimal um die eigene Achse gedreht, undeutliche Beschwörungsformeln gemurmelt. Dann wurden jeweils drei Messbecher eines normalen Flüssigdüngers in eine Gießkanne mit zehn Liter Wasser gekippt plus ein Messbecher von dem Zaubergebräu. Alle Bäume im Garten wurden nun damit gegossen. Vor dem Düngen wurde der gesamte Garten mit Leitungswasser gegossen, damit alles schön feucht war. Dann, am nächsten Tag wurde wieder wie immer kräftig gegossen, so dass alles pitschnass war. Das Wasser floss aus den Drainagelöchern. Das erfolgte nun alle zehn Tage, den ganzen Sommer lang. Dreimal im Sommer erfolgte parallel kräftige organische Düngung. Ganz wichtig ist, dass immer kräftig gegossen wird. Der Dünger kann sich so nicht im Substrat in gefährlichen und giftigen Mengen anreichern. Was der Baum nicht nimmt, wird einfach ausgewaschen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Nach zwei Monaten: Die fünfnadeligen Kiefern wurden wieder grün, die Mangelerscheinungen an den alten Blättern der Laubbäume blieben, aber der Neuaustrieb war wieder völlig gesund und kräftig. Keine Vergiftungserscheinungen bei irgend welchen Bäumen während des gesamten Sommers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Nach einem Sommer kann sich sagen, dass diese Methode eindeutig hilft. Man kann kräftig düngen und Mangelerscheinungen bleiben weithin aus. Ein großer Vorteil ist, dass man einfach alles querbeet düngen und wässern kann, ohne sich um einzelne Bäume wirklich zu kümmern. Die, die es brauchen nehmen sich schon das geeignete.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="de-DE" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Ich weiß, dass das alles für einige zu viel ist.. "Wer heilt hat Recht", heißt ein Sprichwort in der Humanmedizin. Im Garten heißt das "derjenige, der die gesündesten Bäume auf lange Sicht hat, hat recht".

Sie unterstellt nämlich als selbstverständlich, dass Bonsai eine Kunstform ist. Ob Bonsai nun Kunst ist oder Kunsthandwerk ist schon eine wichtige Frage. Die Diskussion ist notwendig, meiner Meinung nach.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Erst einmal schließen sich Kunst und Handwerker nicht aus. Kunst besteht immer auch aus Handwerk. Allerdings muss ich (wohl zum Entsetzen der mitlesenden Fundamentalisten ) sagen, dass Kunst auch gute Kunst sein kann, wenn das Handwerk Mängel aufweist. Umgekehrt kann Kunst ganz schlecht sein, obwohl sie handwerklich bestens gestaltet ist. Aber es ist wohl unbestritten, dass Bonsai mindestens Handwerk ist und öfter auch Kunsthandwerk, also geadeltes Handwerk - was Besseres halt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bonsai zu machen ist im allgemeinen so wenig oder soviel Kunst wie Bilder zu malen. Ein Kind kann Bilder malen, ein Kind kann Bonsai machen. Aber deshalb ist es noch keine Kunst.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Öfter wird gewähnt, dass manche Bonsai als Kunst sehen wollen, weil sie dadurch erhöht werden, also über dem Handwerker stehen. Das kann wohl manchmal der Fall sein. Aber das ist nun überhaupt nicht wichtig.&lt;br /&gt;Allerdings ist es wichtig, was das Ziel ist und sein darf. Im Handwerker ist das Ziel, etwas zu erstellen,was marktfähig ist. Also einen Massenmarkt oder auch einen Nischenmarkt zu bedienen. Im Handwerker gibt es meist recht strenge Regeln, wie man was macht. Handwerk bedient den Markt mit dem, was der Markt will, also sind die Erlebnisse eher uniform, gleich oder ähnlich aussehend. Abartiges verkauft sich als Handwerk ganz schlecht. Ein handwerklich guter Bonsai muss möglichst schön sein. Nach gängiger Meinung muss er auch möglichst alt wirken - also ein ganz alter schöner kleiner Baum in der Schale. In Bonsai als Handwerk gibt es gut und schlecht, was viele nach den Handwerksregeln gut unterscheiden können. Einem Handwerker kann man nicht vorwerfen, dass er etwas für Geld, für den Markt, für die breite Masse macht; das ist seine Aufgabe&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Die Kunst hat die Aufgabe, beim Betrachter, beim Kunstkonsumenten irgend was zu bewegen. Wie die Kunst das macht ist ihr überlassen. Das kann mit Schönheit sein, das kann mit Hässlichkeit sein oder sonst was. Wie bereits erwähnt ist das Beeindrucken mit Schönheit in der Kunst arg verpönt. Das war nicht immer so, muss auch nicht immer so sein. Außerdem unterscheidet sich die Kunst vom Handwerk dadurch, dass der Künstler auf keinen Fall etwas einfach kopieren will. Ein Bonsai soll dann nie wie ein anderer Bonsai aussehen. Einem Künstler vor zu werfen, dass er kopiert, für die breite Masse, für Geld, für Preise arbeitet ist eine Beleidigung. Einem Künstler vor zu werfen, dass er die Kunst verändern will, dass er ein Revolutionär ist, das er keinen Respekt vor der Tradition hat, ist müßig, das ist nämlich seine Aufgabe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In der Bonsaikunst gibt es auch gut und schlecht. Aber das Problem ist, dass das nicht so einfach zu unterscheiden ist wie beim Handwerk. Wir sehen es ja an dieser Diskussion hier.&lt;br /&gt;Das ist nicht nur bei Bonsai so, sondern auch in der 'wirklichen' Kunst. Es ist dort normal, dass das breite Volk meist überhaupt nichts mit den Werken anfangen kann, die von den 'Fachleuten' als die besten Kunstwerke gesehen werden. Das war übrigens nicht immer so und muss auch nicht immer so sein.&lt;br /&gt;Wer sind nun diese 'Fachleute' ? Das sind die, die im Besitzt es heiligen Grals sind. Das sind die Insider, die Galeristen, die Kritiker, die Museumsdirektoren, die Kunstgelehrten, die Kunstprofessoren, die grossen Sammler, die auch wirklich löhnen, also die , die entscheiden wo's lang geht, also das Kunstestablishment. Was das breite Volk meint ist, in der wirklichen Kunst völlig egal. Das ist kein demokratischer Prozess, sondern ein höchst einseitig elitärer. Wenn eine Million der Meinung sind, dass etwas gar keine Kunst ist oder entsetzlich schlecht und ein einziger Insider meint, dass es sehr wohl Kunst ist, dann gewinnt der Insider.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In der Bonsaikunst sind wir noch nicht so weit. Wenn wir so weit wären, dann hätte eine solche Umfrage bei der breiten Masse überhaupt keinen Sinn. Die kann das nämlich gar nicht beurteilen und ihre Meinung ist völlig egal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wer also sind die Insider, die die Qualität von Bonsai beurteilen, wer ist das Bonsaiestablishment? Das sind die, die Bäume zu Ausstellungen zulassen oder eben nicht zu lassen, die Preise vergeben oder eben nicht, die Magazine machen und entscheiden was auf der Titelseite ist und was im Innern und was nicht. Es sind die, die Bäume importieren und entsprechend auswählen oder eben nicht auswählen. Das sind bekannte Gestalter, die da mehr oder weniger Einfluss haben. Das sind im beschränkten Maß auch Funktionäre, Bonsaipolitiker, Schiedsrichter und so. Und das sind noch einige andere. Aber es ist nicht das Volk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bonsaifundamentalisten müssen per se gegen den Kunstbegriff sein, weil er ihnen den Teppich unter den Füßen weg zieht. Das was sie 'wissen' wird plötzlich relativ. Regeln gelten nur dann, wenn der jeweilige Künstler sie gelten lässt. Also müssen Bonsaifundamentalisten versuchen in den geheiligten Kreis derer ein zu dringen, die darüber entscheiden, was gut ist und alles tun um Bonsai als Kunstform zu vermeiden. Das haben die auch gemacht. Aber das wird immer weniger und irgend wann klärt sich das von selbst.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kunst ist Geschmackssache. Das wurde hier mehrfach geschrieben. Stimmt. Aber leider kommt es darauf an, wer den Geschmack hat. Es kommt nämlich ausschließlich auf den Geschmack der Insider an. Dazu zählen aber andere. Es ist völlig legitim für jeden, hier und anderswo, einen Bonsai mehr oder weniger oder gar nicht zu mögen. Ihn dann jedoch als mehr oder weniger Kunst oder gar nicht Kunst zu bezeichnen ist eher naiv.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eine andere Sache ist es, dass viele Bonsai als japanisches Kunsthandwerk verstehen und genau deshalb da eingestiegen sind. Die hören es dann natürlich nicht gerne, wenn das auch wieder relativ ist. Es kann ja auch chinesisches Kunsthandwerk sein, die haben's ja ohnehin erfunden. Es kann aber auch europäisches sein.&lt;br /&gt;NEIN KANN ES NIEMALS! Kann es niemals? Warum? Weil Europäer das NIEMALS wirklich beherrschen KÖNNEN. Aha, und wie war das mit Judo? Und Pingpong, Und Sumoringen und so weiter? Es ist verständlich, dass jemand sauer ist, wenn man ihn seiner Illusionen beraubt. Man ist verstimmt, wenn man spürt, dass Japan kein Leitbild mehr ist. Oder doch? Nun ja, die deutschen Fußballer singen ja auch in der Kabine 'God save the Queen' und bedanken sich innig bei den Briten, dass sie es zulassen, dass deren Sport auch außerhalb der Inseln gespielt werden darf, natürlich nur unter der Leitung eines britischen Schiedsrichters und eines britischen Trainers. So war das, als ich ganz klein war. Ist lange her, hat sich arg geändert.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Für mich persönlich ist die Frage, ob Kunst oder Handwerk oder japanisch oder europäisch oder kosmopolitisch, heute nicht mehr relevant. Wer da vehement auf Handwerk und japanisch besteht, der ist von vorgestern und hat zehn Jahre lang geschlafen. Diese Debatte wurde um das Jahr 2000 vehement geführt. Da gab's noch richtig Krach, dass die Fetzen flogen. Da waren die Fundamentalisten noch in der Mehrheit und an der Macht. Heute wird einer der mit den alten Zöpfen kommt, bloß mehr belächelt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Zurück zur eigentlichen Frage hier: "welcher Baum ist ein Kunstwerk?" Ich meine beide. Welcher ist das bessere Kunstwerk. Nun, Bonsai ist ganz schlecht als Wettkampfport zu gebrauchen. Die Bäume sind eigentlich nicht gut zu vergleichen. Aber wenn man mich zwingt, dann ist der zweite, der Dreispitzahorn, der bessere. Der erste, rote Ahorn, ist eher Kunsthandwerk aber nicht stereotyp, also immer noch Kunst - etwas kitschig durch die Farbe. Welcher kostet mehr? Auf jeden Fall der zweite. Welchen will ich haben? Unbedingt den zweiten. Den ersten hätte ich zwar auch gerne wieder, aber den kann man öfter mal kaufen oder wieder machen. Der zweite ist einmalig und unwiederbringlich. Ich würde ihm allerdings meinen Stempel aufdrücken wollen. Würde das Bonsaiestablishement auch so urteilen wie ich? Ich habe da meine Zweifel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ob so was in Japan anerkannt ist? Ja und nein. Aber einen großen Preis wird der dort nie gewinnen. Dazu ist das Establishment zu fundamentalistisch dort. Denke ich. Genau weiß ich das nicht.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, jetzt ist so viel geschrieben, dass wirklich jeder etwas findet wo er eine andere oder wenigstens leicht andere Meinung hat. Diskussion hat nämlich nur dann Sinn, wenn man verschiedener Meinung ist.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6766982247296412626-8403655134706797721?l=walter-pall-bonsai.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://walter-pall-bonsai.blogspot.com/feeds/8403655134706797721/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6766982247296412626&amp;postID=8403655134706797721&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6766982247296412626/posts/default/8403655134706797721'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6766982247296412626/posts/default/8403655134706797721'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://walter-pall-bonsai.blogspot.com/2012/01/intersting-thread-in-bonsaifachfourm.html' title='Interesting thread in Bonsaifachforum - German only, sorry'/><author><name>Walter Pall</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08398046016738136730</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://walter-pall.de/avtar6'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766982247296412626.post-730986266986325545</id><published>2012-01-04T09:10:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2012-01-05T19:28:56.705+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Condolences</title><content type='html'>I wish to thank everybody for the wonderful condolences.

They want their trees to look their best all the time. So their trees don't really improve a lot.

You don't need to take part in the Bonsai Academy for that. There will be a special discount just on these days. &lt;br /&gt;There are about 300 collected trees there. A few dozen are outright  world class, many very good, all hand selected by myself. There are over  170 trees in the range from US$ 45 to 600, about 50 from 600 to 1,500.  Everybody can find himself a genuine American collected tree.&lt;br /&gt;They give guarantee for recently collected stuff as long as you leave it  in the nursery - money back or credit in case the tree did not make it.  There are over 100 collected trees which are very well established and  can be worked on right away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am not aware whether there is a nursery in all of&amp;nbsp; America which has  such a lot quality collected stuff to offer. East of the Rockies  Nature's Way Nursery is THE source for quality collected trees. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In spring of 2012 there will be about 150 or more new trees again.  Woodstock  April 2 there will be  two workshops again, one with ponderosa pines.I look forward to see you all there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-T1UgjRhfzSM/TrBqYf87BAI/AAAAAAAA69U/rpwTRnRoJ2I/s1600/IBA_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Das wurde auch von tausenden Bonsaigärtnern in der ganzen Welt bestätigt, die sich angeschlossen haben. Aus vielen Ländern wird von Gärtnern berichtet, die unabhängig von meinen Ausführungen auf dieselben oder sehr ähnlichen Ergebnisse gestoßen sind, einfach durch Anwendung der modernen Gartenbaumethoden in der Bonsaihaltung. Ich habe nie behauptet, das alles selber erfunden zu haben. Ich habe bloß inzwischen in der Gärtnerei alltägliche Methoden für Bonsai angewendet und das bekannt gemacht. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Trotzdem ergeben sich immer wieder kleinere und auch größere Probleme. Meistens sind es solche, die mit fehlerhafter Anwendung zu tun haben. Wer über Jahre, ja Jahrzehnte mit Bonsaierde gearbeitet hat, der wird dazu neigen, ins modernes Substrat wenigstens ein wenig Erde hinein zu schmuggeln. Das kann fatale Auswirkungen haben. Dann wird natürlich die gesamte Methode und nicht der eigene Fehler verantwortlich gemacht. Wer über sehr lange Zeit gelernt hat, dass das richtig Gießen das Wichtigste und Schwierigste ist, was man zu lernen hat, der wird ev. grobe Fehler machen. Er wird einfach nicht akzeptieren, dass man mit modernem Substrat fast nicht übergießen, aber sehr wohl untergießen kann. Er wird dazu neigen, zu wenig zu gießen, weil man ja 'weiß' dass die meisten Fehler beim Übergießen gemacht werden. Es will einfach nicht in die Köpfe hinein, dass man da nicht mehr viel denken muss. Einfach gießen, im Zweifelsfall mehr als man denkt! Aber das kann ja gar nicht sein! Also wird modernes Substrat verwendet und die Bäume viel zu wenig gegossen und gedüngt. Als Ergebnis verkümmern sie. Immer wieder bekomme ich Hinweise, dass jemand mit dem modernen Substrat nicht zurecht kommt. 'Ich habe keinen sicheren Hinweis über das Austrocknen des Substrates mehr, ich weiß nicht mehr, wann ich gießen soll!' Nun, wer über viele Jahre immer dann gegossen hat, wenn die Oberflächen des Schaleninhalts (Erde oder Substrat) trocken erscheinen, der wird in der Tat Schwierigkeit haben. Moderne Substrate trocknen nämlich and der Oberfläche oft sehr rasch aus. Der Unerfahrene meint dann, es ist wieder höchste Zeit zu Gießen. Er 'weiß' aber auch, dass es 'falsch' ist, zu viel zu gießen. Also ist er hin und her gerissen. Oft wird wieder zu der gewohnten Bonsaierde zurückgekehrt. Da 'weiß' man nämlich, was man zu tun hat. Tatsächlich ist es viel einfacher: Die Austrocknung der Substratoberfläche ist kein schlüssiger Hinwies darauf, ob gegossen werden soll. Der Bonsaigärtner muss lernen, andere Hinweise zu erkennen. Es ist eigentlich noch einfacher: man gießt jeden Tag reichlich. Falls trotzdem während des Tages gewisse 'Zeigerbäume' die Blätter etwas hängen lassen, gießt man eben zwei mal. Zeigebäume sind solche, die stets als erste Durst haben. Das sind z.b. Fächerahorn, Linde, viele Straucharten. Es sind auch Unkräuter, die sich in Bonsaischalen niedergelassen haben. Lange bevor der Baum die Blätter hängen lässt, hängen einige Unkräuter. Aber tatsächlich ist das nur wichtig um festzustellen, dass man zusätzlich zur täglichen Gießroutine noch einmal gießen muss. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Obwohl deutlich so geschrieben, haben einigen  nicht verstanden, dass das tägliche Gießen nur in der aktiven Vegetationsperiode gilt. Das ist in meinem Klima von Anfang April bis Anfang Oktober draußen. Im Glashaus ist das von Ende Februar bis zur Leerung des Glashauses. Es gibt immer wieder Bonsaigärtnern, die dann im Winter jeden Tag weiter gießen und oft fragen, was zu tun ist, wenn die Bäume gefroren sind. Natürlich wird nicht jeden Tagt gegossenen, wenn die Bäume den Winterschlaf angetreten haben. Es wird außen je nach Bedarf gegossen. Das heißt in meinem Klima, dass ich in machen Jahren den ganzen Winter lang überhaupt nicht gieße, weil es immer wieder regnet oder schneit. Meistens wird das bei8 anderen aber nicht der Falls ein. Man muss eben gießen, wenn die Bäume zu trocken werden. Das kann dann schon zweimal die Woche sein. Im Glashaus wird ohnehin alle paar Tage auch im Winter gegossen. Gefrorene Bäume werden nicht gegossen. Allerdings besteht die Gefahr, dass die Krone austrocknet, wenn sie der Sonne und dem Wind ausgesetzt ist während der Wurzelballen fest gefroren ist. Deshalb ist ein Standort zu wählen, der möglichst vollen Sonnen- und Windschutz bietet. Die Kronen sollten immer wieder besprüht werden, insbesondere die von Nadelbäumen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Was bisher besprochen wurde, sind Ungereimtheiten, die entstanden sind, weil einzelne Gärtner  die Methode nicht in vollem Umfang verstanden haben oder versehen wollten. Es wurde mehrfach darauf hingewiesen, dass das sehr gefährlich ist. Entweder man wendet die Methode voll, in allen Teilen an, oder man lässt es ganz.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Trotzdem haben sich über die Jahre einige Zweifel beim Verfasser eingeschlichen. Es wurde festgestellt, dass es den allermeisten Bäumen nach Einführung der Methode besser ging als vorher. Nur einige Arten zeigten arge Mangelerscheinungen und einige, die vorher ganz munter waren, waren sogar dem Tod geweiht. Es handelt sich dabei insbesondere um fünfnadelige Kiefern (Pinus pentaphylla, Pinus cembra) und dem gemeinen Wacholder (Juniperus communis). Diese Arten zeigen immer wieder gelbliche bis stark gelbe Nadeln. Das ist ganz bedenklich, wenn es sich um diesjährige Nadeln handelt. Prompt sterben erschreckend viele Äste und leider auch ganze Bäume in Folge ab. Es ist bekannt, dass sehr viele Gärtner weder den gemeinen Wacholder noch die Mädchenkiefer (und auch die Zirbelkiefer) über länger Zeiträume halten können. Der Verfasser ist da keine Ausnahme. Es gibt aber immer wieder Gärtner, die keinerlei Probleme mit diesen Arten haben, jedoch auch nach intensiver Nachfrage nicht erklären könne, was sie anders oder besser machen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Ein weiteres Phänomen, das nicht nur in meinem Garten aufgetaucht ist, ist, dass deutliche Mangelerscheinungen an Laubbäumen auftauchten: dunkelgrüne Blattadern deutlich sichtbare Farb- und auch Formänderungen im Blatt. Diese Erscheinungen sind zwar nicht tödlich, aber doch sehr beunruhigend. Es kann doch nicht sein, dass Bäume, die um Längen besser gedüngt werden als alle anderen, Mangelerscheinungen haben! Doch, es kann!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Nach langem Nachdenken über die Zusammenhänge kam ich zum Schluss, dass die Mangelerscheinungen gerade wegen der starken Düngung auftauchten. Das Gesetz des Minimums macht an meinen Gartengrenzen nicht halt.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;Wikipedia: Das Minimumgesetz (von &lt;a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latein"&gt;lateinisch&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span lang="la-VA"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;minimum&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;, „das Geringste“, von &lt;a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Sprengel"&gt;Carl Sprengel&lt;/a&gt; 1828 veröffentlicht, von &lt;a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justus_von_Liebig"&gt;Justus von Liebig&lt;/a&gt; in erweiterter Form popularisiert) besagt, dass das Wachstum von Pflanzen durch die im Verhältnis knappste &lt;a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ressource"&gt;Ressource&lt;/a&gt; (Nährstoffe, Wasser, Licht etc.) eingeschränkt wird. Diese Ressource wird auch als &lt;a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimumfaktor"&gt;Minimumfaktor&lt;/a&gt; bezeichnet. Bei Vorliegen eines solchen Mangelfaktors hat es keinen Einfluss auf das Wachstum, wenn eine Ressource hinzu gegeben wird, die bereits im benötigten Umfang vorhanden ist. Das Minimumgesetz ist u.a. eine wichtige Grundlage bei der &lt;a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%C3%BCngung"&gt;Düngung&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Von Ende März bis Mitte Oktober wird bei mir gedüngt. Anfangs mineralisch und ab Mitte Mai organisch (mit Hühnermist, Fledermausguano, Runderdung und ähnlichem - mit allem was stinkt), organisch einmal kräftig Anfang Mai und wieder gegen Ende August; dazwischen und bis Mitte Oktober mineralisch. So war das bisher. Die Düngergaben waren mehr als dreimal so hoch wie auf den Packungen angegeben. Die Bäume haben es mir gedankt mit sagenhaft kräftigem und gesundem Wuchs. Nur die fünfnadeligen Kiefern und der gemeine Wacholder litten sichtlich. Wegen des Erfolges habe ich dann die Düngergaben gesteigert. Die Bäume wuchsen noch besser. Leichte Mangelerscheinungen wurden erst einmal mit einem Achselzucken hingenommen. Ich habe dann eine dritte Periode der organischen Düngung gegen Mitte Juli eingeführt. Die mineralischen Gaben wurden leicht gesteigert. Dann entstanden plötzlich deutliche Mangelerscheinungen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Mein Fazit: Neben den allseits bekannten und in jedem handelsüblichen Dünger vorhandenen Stoffen benötigen Bäume zusätzlich in meist geringen Mengen besondere, seltene Stoffe. Das Fehlen dieser Stoffe fällt um so mehr auf, je mehr mit den herkömmlichen Stoffen gedüngt wird. Es fiel mir auf, dass die fünfnadeligen Kiefern und die Wacholder besonders nach kräftiger organischer Düngung gelb wurden. Das schien mir paradox, weil ja gerade die organische Düngung so gut anschlug - im Allgemeinen. Genau das ist es: die organische Düngung mit besonders viel Stickstoff regt die Bäume zu besonders starkem Wachstum an. Das geht aber nur, wenn ALLE benötigten Stoffe vorhanden sind, auch die Spurenelemente. Einige davon sind aber im organischen Dünger nicht, oder nicht in genügender Menge vorhanden. Dann entstehen eben Mangelerscheinungen. Und was ist mit den Gärtnern, die keinen Problem haben? Die haben eben zufällig, z.B. im Gießwasser, die benötigten Spurenelemente. Und was ist mit den mineralischen Düngern? Die haben ganz seltenen  Spurenelemente auch oft nicht oder nicht in den erforderlichen Mengen. Die haben die in den Mengen, die für die Stickstoffgabe des Mineraldüngers ausreichend sind. Aber sie haben sie nicht für die kräftige organische Düngung in ausreichendem Maß. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;Wahrscheinliche Ursache erkannt! Was tun? Eine Möglichkeit, wäre es, einfach mit der kräftigen Düngung zurück zu fahren. Das würde sicherlich nützen. Aber ich will ja gerade das kräftige, gesunde Wachstum. Also ging ich auf die Suche nach Spezialdüngern für Mangelerscheinungen. Da fiel mir das Angebot der Firma  Italienfrontt ( &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;cite&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;www.italpollina.com/ und www.italpollina.de/) an organischen Düngern sowie insbesondere an Spezialdüngern für Mangelerscheinungen auf. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/cite&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;cite&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;Ich konnte den deutschen Vertreter davon überzeugen, mir eine Batterie der Spezialdünger für Versuchszwecke zur Verfügung zu stellen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/cite&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;cite&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;Also erhielt so ein Dutzend Literflaschen, voll mit jeweils einem allgemeinen Dünger, der mit besonderen Stoffen angereichert war:Bor, Eisen, Kalium, Kupfer, Magnesium, allgemeine Mikroelemente besondere Stickstoff, Auxym, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/cite&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;cite&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;Enzym, was weiß ich und noch einiges mehr. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/cite&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;cite&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;Toll! Aber was nun? Es gibt jede Mengen Literatur über Mangelerscheinungen u, deren Auswirkung , Aussehen usw.. Aber das ist alles äußerst kompliziert und bezieht sich fast immer auf irgendwelche Gemüsesorten. Wenn trotzdem eine Mangelerscheinung an einem bestimmten Baum deutlich festgestellt wurde, was war nun die geeignete Methode? Eindeutig konnte Eisenmangel and fünfnadeligen Kiefern und Azaleen festgestellt werden. Bei Azaleen wird das auch in der Literatur oft erwähnt. Gut, also zusätzlich zu dem Angebot von Italpollina auch Eisenpulver gekauft. Das ist ganz billig. Aber welche Menge und wie oft? Fragen über Fragen!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/cite&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;cite&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;Für einen brauchbaren Test benötigt man Vergleichsmaterial. Also z.B. 1.000 gleich alte , gleich große Eichen aus genetisch identischem Material, also Stecklinge, in gleich großen Gefäßen mit demselben Substrat. Dann noch einmal tausend, bei denen ein Faktor geändert wird. Dann noch einmal viele tausend mit jeweils einem Faktor, der anders ist. Dann dasselbe mit allen anderen gängigen Baumarten und -sorten. Also mehrere hunderttausend Bäume! Dann werden fünfhundert ein ganzes Jahr mit der normalen Methode gedüngt und fünfhundert mit dem Spezialdünger. Dasselbe dann mit allen zwölf Spezialdüngern. Am Ende des Jahres hat man einen Hinweis,, ob der Spezialdünger hilfreich ist und welcher es ist.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/cite&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;cite&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;Das ist in der Bonsaihaltung völlig unmöglich. Selbst wenn ich von einer Art zweihundert Bäume habe, dann ist ein saubere Test unmöglich. Die Bäume sind nicht gleich groß, nicht gleich alt, sehen in verschiedenem Substrat, haben verschiedene Herkünfte, also deutlich unterschiedliche Gene. Also ist ein Test sinnlos. Da kann man gleich irgend was hin schütten, ein Kreuz machen, sich dreimal umdrehen und hoffen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/cite&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;cite&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;Beim allgemeinen Dünger besteht ein ähnliches Problem, wenn man einen ganz bunt gemischten Garten hat und nun jeweils 'richtigen' Dünger für einen speziellen Baum benutzen will. Was ist 'richtig' und wie viel davon? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/cite&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;cite&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;Als einfacher ungelernter Gärtner bin ich da völlig überfordert. Aber irgend etwas muss geschehen!  Ich gehe davon aus, dass Chemiker die einen bestimmten Dünger für Mangelerscheinungen herstellen, ihn auch vernünftig getestet haben, bevor er auf den Markt kommt. Also was soll ICH da noch testen? Aber die Frage bleib, was, wo wie viel und wie oft ich benutzen sollte. Mittlerweile zeigten mehr Bäume Mangelerscheinungen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/cite&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;cite&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;Als praktischer Mensch aus den Bergen fiel mir dann das 'große Buffet' ein:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/cite&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;cite&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;Man denke sich einen Vater, der eine sehr eigenwillige Tochter mit Beziehungen in der Ganzen Welt hat. Sie, als Mitteleuropäerin, will einen Chinesen heiraten und zum Hochzeitsfest die ganze Bekanntschaft einladen. Das sind dann Chinesen, Japaner, Südamerikaner, Nordamerikaner, Vegetarier, Juden, Fleischesser, Reisesser, Nudelesser und was sonst, jedenfalls einige hundert. Der Vater hat den Auftrag, das Hochzeitmenü zu erstellen - ein völlig unmögliches Unterfangen. Selbst wenn  er jedem findet, der kommen will und ihm einen langen Fragebogen zuschickt, den der auch noch ausfüllt, wird er mit Sicherheit Vielen das Falsche servieren. Was macht der arme Vater? Er bestellt ein gigantisches Buffet. Alles, was man so essen kann ist da, warm und kalt, alles was man so trinken kann. Am großen Tag kommen sie alle und danach schwärmen sie vom tollen Hochzeitsschmaus. Jeder weiß genau, was er will, dank des reichlichen Angebots findet er es auch. Was übrig bleibt, isst die Familie in en kommenden drei Monaten.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/cite&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;cite&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;Schönes Gleichnis. Für meine Bäume sah das dann so aus: ich goss in etwa dieselbe Menge aus jeder Flasche in einen großen Behälter. Dazu gab ich reichlich Eisenpulver und noch obendrein Magnesium, kräftige umgerührt und fertig. Etwas Krötenschleim, drei Kreuze, dreimal umgedreht, undeutliche Beschwörungsformeln gemurmelt. Dann wurden jeweils drei Messbecher eines normalen Flüssigdüngers in eine Gießkanne mit zehn Liter Wasser gekippt plus ein Messbecher von dem Zaubergebräu. Alle Bäume im Garten wurden nun damit gegossen. Vor dem Düngen wurde der gesamte Garten mit Leitungsweser gegossen, damit alles schön feucht war.. Dann, am nächsten Tag  wurde wieder wie immer kräftig gegossen, so dass alles pitschnass war. Das Wasser floss aus den Drainagelöchern. Das erfolgte nun alle zehn Tage, den ganzen Sommer lang. Dreimal im Sommer erfolgte parallel kräftige organische Düngung. Ganz wichtig ist, dass immer kräftig gegossen wird. Der Dünger kann sich so nicht im Substrat in gefährlichen und giftigen Mengen anreichern. Was der Baum nicht nimmt, wird einfach ausgewaschen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/cite&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;cite&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;Nach zwei Monaten: Die fünfnadeligen Kiefern wurden wieder grün, die Mangelerscheinungen and den alten Blättern der Laubbäume blieben, aber der Neuaustrieb war wieder völlig gesund und kräftig. Keine Vergiftungserscheinungen bei irgend welchen Bäume während des gesamten Sommers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/cite&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;cite&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;Nach einem Sommer kann sich sagen, dass diese Methode eindeutig hilft. Man kann kräftig düngen und Mangelerscheinungen bleiben weithin aus. Ein großer Vorteil ist, das man einfach alles querbeet düngen und wässern kann, ohne sich um einzelne Bäume wirklich zu kümmern. Die, die es brauchen nehmen sich schon das geeignete.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/cite&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;cite&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;Man kann mich gerne als naiven Gärtner bezeichnen, als Ignoranten und Dilettanten. Abgerechnet wird zum Schluss. Wer hat über lange Zeit die gesündesten Bäume mit dem geringsten Aufwand? Jeder, der zweifelt, ist eingeladen, zu mir zu kommen und sich zu überzeugen. Wenigstens meine Galerie könnte man einmal zu Rate ziehen. ALLE Bäume werden bei mir gleich behandelt.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/cite&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;cite&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;Die Firma Italpollina wird wohl den Zaubertrank in kleineren  Mengen für den Bonsaimarkt anbieten.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/cite&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6766982247296412626-1882010262826241437?l=walter-pall-bonsai.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://walter-pall-bonsai.blogspot.com/feeds/1882010262826241437/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6766982247296412626&amp;postID=1882010262826241437&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6766982247296412626/posts/default/1882010262826241437'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6766982247296412626/posts/default/1882010262826241437'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://walter-pall-bonsai.blogspot.com/2011/11/substrat-dungen-gieen-nachtrag-german.html' title='Substrat, Düngen, Gießen - Nachtrag - German'/><author><name>Walter Pall</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08398046016738136730</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://walter-pall.de/avtar6'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766982247296412626.post-4943193523254641604</id><published>2011-11-14T07:35:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2011-11-14T07:35:45.618+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Lo stile bonsai naturalistico</title><content type='html'>Lo stile bonsai naturalistico&lt;br /&gt;traduttore SppadoJr&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lo stile bonsai naturalistico –&lt;br /&gt;è arte o è una fesseria?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;by Walter Pall http://walter-pall.de&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gli alberi naturalistici sono tra le cose più incomprese del bonsai che  io conosca. In media un appassionato di bonsai ha imparato da ogni sorta  di fonte cosa rende un bonsai, un buon bonsai. Egli sa tutte le regole  ed è solito criticare un bonsai in base a quanto bene siano state  applicate le regole. Con l’opinione di questa corrente di pensiero, il  bonsai naturalistico sembra per la maggior parte solo materiale grezzo.  In molti casi sembra perfino povera materia prima perché il più degli  alberi non si presta bene alle regole bonsai accettate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fino a pochi anni fa il tema del bonsai “naturalistico” veniva discusso  nei vari circoli bonsai, specialmente nei forum in internet. Ogni volta  che nasce una discussione nei forum questa si anima. Il soggetto ha la  tendenza a polarizzarsi. Bene, c’è da una parte l’antitesi al bonsai  astratto moderno, ma questo da solo non è abbastanza per causare così  tanta disapprovazione. Una ragione è che il concetto non è stato  semplicemente capito da molti. E l’altro motivo è che è in effetti  confuso con una “pseudo-religione”. Uno può essere Cattolico o Ebreo, ma  non realmente entrambi; uno può essere di sinistra o di destra, ma  difficilmente entrambi. Uno può praticare bonsai naturalistico e in  parallelo molto bene lo stile bonsai tradizionale. Ma i bonsaisti non  capiscono questo generalmente.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;L’istituzione del bonsai è contrariata di fronte a questo sviluppo. Ma  se, nell’altra mano, una persona che ha assolutamente nessun passato  nell’arte del bonsai guarda a queste creazioni rimane affascinata. Si  meravigliano di come uno possa aver trovato così tanti di questi piccoli  alberi che sembrano come quelli grandi in natura. Si meravigliano di  come sia possibile metterli in questi piccoli vasi. Non vedono la mano  dell’uomo, credono che gli alberi crescano così e fossero già raccolti e  piantati in vasi. E questo è un grande complimento per l’artista.  Questo è esattamente ciò che egli vuole raggiungere: piccoli alberi che  non mostrino la mano dell’uomo. Questa è arte. Nelle esibizioni si può  spesso notare come il pubblico apprezzi maggiormente alberi  naturalistici rispetto ai bonsaisti.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cosa rende un bonsai elaborato secondo i dettami naturalistici così  differente? Cosa cambia? Che stile è questo? Qual è la differenza che  contraddistingue lo stile eretto informale? Contrariamente a ciò che è  usuale nei circoli bonsai, in generale il giudizio artistico della  parola “stile” significa un sentimento generale, una filosofia globale,  un completo e generale corso delle cose, un generale stato d’animo degli  artisti ecc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Se andate in un museo d’arte, vedrete normalmente differenti stanze per  differenti stili. Questo può andare da “Early American”  all’“Impressionista”, al “Tedesco”, al “Romanico”, al “Barocco” o  qualsiasi altra cosa differente. La parola stile parla del sentire in  modo generale. Se voi guardate un oggetto che è fatto in un determinato  stile, voi troverete un infinito numero di forme. Parlando di dipinti la  forma può essere ad esempio: un paesaggio, persone nella natura,  persone in una stanza, una donna in piedi, una donna seduta, quasi  qualsiasi cosa voi possiate pensare a riguardo. Ma tutte queste forme  possono, al limite teoricamente, essere trovate in tutti, o nella  maggior parte, degli stili. La donna in piedi può trovarsi nell’”Early  American” o nel Barocco o nel moderno o in qualsiasi altro stile.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tornando al bonsai, gli stili possono essere: stile classico giapponese,  com’è pensato oggi in Giappone; classico Giapponese, come è pensato ad  Ovest; stile bonsai moderno, stile romantico, stile naturalistico,  “literati” o molti altri. Può anche essere lo stile di Nick Lenz, o di  John Naka, o di Masahilo Kimura o lo stile bonsai Italiano. In tutti  questi stili bonsai voi potrete trovare le forme note: eretto formale,  eretto informale, cascata, ecc. Nel mondo bonsai la parola “stile” non è  usata nel modo giusto. Se considerate la consuetudine nella storia  dell’arte. Io spero che sia perché il bonsai è stato pensato da  giardinieri senza una addestramento artistico “formale”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Io penso che stiamo andando verso una migliore comprensione della forma  d’arte, mentre si sta dividendo in differenti direzioni ad un ritmo  sempre crescente proprio in questo momento. E’ importante essere capaci  di discutere questi fenomeni in un modo intelligente. Questo perché le  parole esatte sono importanti. E qui noi stiamo provando a capire i  lavori di chi pratica il bonsai naturalistico. E troppi pensano che  quello che fanno non sia comunque arte. Ci sono un sacco di persone qua  fuori che pensano ci sia solo un modo di fare bonsai “corretto” – e i  naturalisti certamente non lo fanno così. Noi dobbiamo dimenticarci il  mondo bonsai convenzionale e dobbiamo guardare a questo da un altro  punto di vista. Realmente c’è una grande varietà di modi per avvicinarsi  all’arte del bonsai. E, sì, c’è una forma d’arte e le differenze negli  stili lo dimostra nettamente. Se fosse stato un mestiere ci sarebbe  stato un modo giusto per farlo. Molti direbbero che i naturalisti non  sono artisti. Io penso che la natura controversa di questo lavoro li  faccia artisti molto più di colui che sta facendo bonsai in accordo col  “gusto tradizionale”. E’ giusto non apprezzare cosa fanno i naturalisti  con i bonsai, ma è ancora arte, molto più che l’assoluta maggior parte  dei bonsai venduti commercialmente.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Insomma, come può qualcuno avvicinarsi a questo stile? Non possiamo  stare con il nostro usuale modo di fare bonsai? Perché cambiare qualcosa  che è così “buono”? Io sono conosciuto come il promotore dello stile  naturalistico, ma io non l’ho realmente inventato. Io, come qualche  altro, ho solo osservato che troppi bonsai sembrano bonsai e non  assomigliano a come sono realmente gli alberi. Io ho visto che la  tendenza nello stile va verso qualcosa di molto raffinato e spesso si  distacca totalmente dalla naturalezza. La mano dell’uomo è chiaramente  visibile. Allo stesso tempo troppi bonsai sembrano simili agli altri  perché sono stati impostati seguendo un singolo modello. In natura c’è  un infinito numero di modelli per gli alberi tuttavia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John Naka ha detto “Non fate bonsai in modo tale che i vostri alberi  assomiglino a bonsai, cercate di far sì che il vostro bonsai assomigli  ad un piccolo albero”. E’ così. Niente di più, niente di meno. Così,  come sapere quando il vostro albero assomiglia ad un bonsai? Bene, date  un’occhiata alle foto dei vostri bonsai e guardate ad un albero reale.  Evitate ogni stereotipo nell’impostazione che sono generalmente  insegnati. E’ così semplice. Serve un genio per capirlo? Bene, qualcuno  potrebbe pensare che tutti capiscano al volo. Non è così! Ci sono più  malintesi di quanti possiate immaginare. E’ la richiesta più difficile  che possa esserci. Io penso che la via del bonsai è stata ed è  insegnata. Viene insegnato come fare un bonsai. Lo stile naturalistico è  l’antitesi, è come fare un albero e in questo modo deve essere  sbagliato. Alcuni credono che siamo sgarbati verso John Naka. Bene, uno  potrebbe dire che noi stiamo solamente provando a fare esattamente come  le famose parole del maestro. Insomma, metaforicamente noi stiamo sulle  spalle di John. Il commento da ricordare che io ho ricevuto è stato:  “bonsai non ha NIENTE a che vedere con gli alberi in natura!”. Davvero?  E’ difficile da credere. Bene, se qualcuno vedesse come molti bonsai  sono impostati, questa asserzione potrebbe essere lasciata così com’è:  “Le persone ritratte non hanno NIENTE a che vedere con le persone  reali”. Che ne dite di questa frase.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Qual è la differenza tra un albero reale ed un bonsai normale? Gli  alberi reali non sono triangolari se non sono giovani abeti, larici o  sequoie. Gli alberi reali non hanno rami orizzontali quando sono vecchi:  i rami solitamente piegano verso il basso nelle conifere e verso l’alto  e poi verso il basso nelle latifoglie. Gli alberi reali non hanno ampi  larghi spazi tra i rami, dove “gli uccellini possono volarvi  attraverso”. Ci può essere qualche spazio vuoto, ma di solito è più  difficile per gli uccelli volarvi in mezzo. Gli alberi reali non hanno  sempre il ramo principale più in basso rispetto agli altri. Gli alberi  reali non hanno un fronte ben definito, hanno molti lati buoni. Se c’è  un buon lato di un albero vero di solito ci sono alberi dall’alto al  basso, l’albero non è aperto. Sugli alberi reali i rami non sono  ordinati in modo molto carino. Queste sono le differenze più importanti,  ma ce ne sono altre.&lt;br /&gt;Un bonsai tradizionale è ideale, è astratto. Un bonsai naturalistico è  realistico, che è l’opposto di astratto. Ma non è mai totalmente  realistico. C’è sempre un qualcosa di astratto. Ma non si spinge mai  come molti bonsai moderni che sono molto ordinati, molto rifiniti, molto  “leccati” e troppo spesso sembrano quasi irreali e fatti di plastica.  Questi certamente sembrano come qualche uomo, non come madre natura li  ha fatti. Il bonsai naturalistico è alle antitesi di questo sviluppo che  è andato troppo lontano in molti casi per me.&lt;br /&gt;Troppe persone pensano di avere capito e lasciano che la natura dia lo  stile al proprio albero in un vaso. Loro credono che lo stile  naturalistico sia lasciare crescere e modificare qua e là. Ciò viene  chiamato naturalistico perché NON è naturale. Il trucco NON è lasciare  il pezzo di materiale così com’è e lasciare che la natura lo forgi.  Questo sarebbe creare un materiale bonsai. “Naturalistico” significa che  il risultato finale, l’albero finito in vaso si presume debba  trasmettere l’impressione di un albero natura, mai toccato dall’uomo.  Non importa come questo obbiettivo viene raggiunto. Nella maggior parte  dei casi questo obbiettivo è raggiunto attraverso metodi artificiali –  non dalla natura! Non dovrebbe essere "artistica", "artificiale",  "forzato", "fatto", "costruito", "leccato". Dovrebbe sembrare come se  l’avesse fatto la natura. Questo NON significa lasciare fare alla  natura.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Il bonsai naturalistico non ha niente a che vedere con il metodo, ma  solo con il risultato. Potare e lasciar crescere senza mai usare il filo  è un vecchio modo di fare bonsai. Molti pensano che questo sia bonsai  naturalistico. Non è questo, ma può esserlo. Una siepe è creata potando e  lasciando crescere; e difficilmente può essere chiamata  “naturalistica”. Molti pensano che tutto stia nel non usare il filo.  Bene, guardiamo ai più importanti esempi di stile naturalistico. Ogni  singolo ramo è stato filato ad un certo punto. Il trucco è proprio che  alla fine questo non è visibile. Il risultato finale sembra essere  cresciuto da solo. Realmente ogni singola cosa su questi alberi è stata  fatta, creata, dall’artista. Tutti i bonsai sono filati pesantemente  nella loro impostazione primaria, anche le non-conifere; ogni singolo  ramo e rametto solitamente. Dopo un paio d’anni questo non è più  visibile. Bene, uno potrebbe sottolineare che questo su un maturo bonsai  tradizionale tutto è molto simile. Sì, non si può non vedere il lavoro  lì, ma la forma è quella di un bonsai. Qualcuno non ha sempre la forma  del bonsai comunque. Dopo diventano bonsai naturalistici. Nessuno può  dire che questi esistano solo ad Ovest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ora abbiamo parlato abbastanza della parte del “mestiere”. La parte  artistica arriva quando noi cerchiamo di creare modelli o forme di  alberi che non sono nel libro bonsai, ma esistono in natura. E’ giusto  esercitarsi ad usare le uniche forme che ha il materiale ed esaltarle.  Non dobbiamo tagliare via gli spigoli e le irregolarità per arrivare ad  una forma ideale di bonsai. Dobbiamo fare il contrario, esaltare  l’essere selvaggio e la stranezza. Spesso esaltiamo parti che sono  considerate seri difetti nel bonsai “ortodosso”, ma sono unici ed  incredibili punti d’attenzione degli alberi in natura. Dopo qualche anno  il lavoro non è più visibile. Gli alberi sembrano come se non fossero  mai stati toccati dalla mano umana, come se li avessimo trovati in  natura e solamente rinvasati. E’ difficile lavorare per arrivare a  questo livello. So che ci sono numerose persone che pensano di lasciar  fare alla natura il lavoro e che, così, otterranno un pezzo d’arte  naturalistico. Non lo otterranno mai. Tutto ciò che stanno facendo è  creare e mantenere il materiale. Lo devono impostare seriamente  piuttosto. “Naturalistico” non è una scusa per persone pigre, non  c’entra con alberi disordinato, non è una scorciatoia. E’ più difficile e  richiede più tempo dello stile tradizionale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Così qui ci sono molto più lavoro ed alte coinvolte di quanto sembri. E’  un po’ come un padre ed un figlio che vanno a questo museo d’arte  contemporanea e rimangono ad osservare un dipinto astratto. Padre:  “Anche mio figlio può farlo!”. “Bene, congratulazioni, tuo figlio sarai  ricco!”. Poco dopo vede un albero naturalistico e dice “Posso fare  meglio”. “Congratulazioni, sarai famosissimo!” . Molti ci accusano di  non lavorare sui nostri alberi. Mentre a volte potrebbe essere vero, in  questo l’arte sta nel non far vedere il lavoro. Chi ha ragione?  L’intenditore di bonsai che pensa, nella migliore delle ipotesi, tutto  questo sia materiale bonsai o la persona che non conosce nulla di bonsai  e pensa che questi alberi provengano dalla montagna? Credo nessuno dei  due sia giusto. Se il bonsai fosse stato un mestiere con ben definite  regole allora il primo avrebbe ragione. Il secondo ha capito più  dell’essenza del bonsai come un arte, ma è ingenuo e quindi non è nella  migliore posizione per dare un giudizio. Insomma, la verità sta nel  mezzo. No, non credo sia così. Gli alberi naturalistici sono ciò che  sono. Prendeteli o lasciateli. Dico “alberi” e non “bonsai”. E’  praticamente come usare la parola “bonsai” in senso dispregiativo. Se  qualcosa sembra essere un bonsai non è bello, assomiglia ad una pianta  selvatica tanto quanto un barboncino assomigli ad un lupo. E noi siamo  tutti per il lupo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Insomma come possiamo avvicinarci per apprezzare cosa noi matti stiamo  creando? Penso che il bonsai, come tutte le arti, sia un esercizio  all’astrazione. La cosa difficile con il bonsai è che usiamo alberi  viventi come materiale per l’arte. Sarà sempre naturale in qualche modo.  C’è una lunga linea retta con diversi alberi che vanno dal molto  naturale al molto astratto. Sull’estrema sinistra un albero  assolutamente natural come lo si trova nelle foreste. Sulla destra la  più spinta astrazione del bonsai. La sinistra appare come un albero  invaso dalle erbacce e sulla destra un albero di plastica, una  caricatura di un albero. Il gusto bonsai “tradizionale” vuole che gli  alberi siano abbastanza vicini alla destra della linea. Molti bonsai non  assomigliano realmente ad alberi, ma a bonsai. La maggior parte degli  alberi naturalistici sono abbastanza vicini alla sinistra della linea.  Quindi sono molto distanti dal gusto tradizionale del bonsai. Bene,  tradizionale di questo tempo. Se qualcuno avesse visto com’era lo stato  dell’arte prima della Seconda Guerra Mondiale potrebbe trovare qualche  bonsai rassomigliante a quelli naturalistici contemporanei. E un grande  numero di “Chinese penjing” potrebbero essere simili. Così qualcuno  potrebbe dire che lo stile naturalistico sta tornando indietro nel  tempo. E’ una reazione alla sovra-astrazione dei bonsai moderni.  Possiamo chiamarlo “retro”? Bene, dipende da cosa intendiamo  esattamente. La mia risposta è no, non è retro, è un modo genuino di  vedere gli alberi e noi non stiamo cercando di creare qualcosa con un  vecchio stile.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E’ paradossale che nell’”arte reale” i dipinti astratti o le sculture  sono spesso disapprovate dal pubblico e nel bonsai tradizionale le  astrazioni più spinte sono apprezzate e alberi realistici sono  criticati. Insomma è proprio l’opposto. I fondamentalisti del bonsai  sono stati abbastanza forti qualche anno fa, ma ora sono meno. In alcuni  posti loro sembrano essere la minoranza, ora come ora. Così arriverà il  giorno quando un medio appassionato bonsai apprezzerà lo stile  naturalistico come un altro modo di fare pratica con l’arte del bonsai.  Infatti da ora (che è l’estate del 2010) ci sono decine di migliaia di  persone che praticano bonsai naturalistico.Sembra che per i naturalisti  non sia sempre facile far apprezzare la  propria arte alla gente. Ma questo forse perché sono abituati ad essere  offesi e sono in difesa la maggior parte delle volte. Il gusto bonsai è  un gusto sviluppato, queste persone l’hanno imparato. Non è, come molti  credono, del tutto un gusto naturale. La stragrande maggioranza ha  imparato da ed attraverso fonti giapponesi. Così il gusto tradizionale  bonsai è un gusto Giapponese. Ora le persone vogliono vedere cosa devono  aspettarsi di vedere e non qualcosa di interamente diverso. La maggior  parte troverà un bonsai naturalistico povero o forse nemmeno  completamente un bonsai, perché sono così diversi dalle loro  aspettative.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Naturalistico non è una scusa per persone pigre, non è un albero  disordinato, non è una scorciatoia. Penso sia se non più, almeno  laborioso quanto l’impostazione tradizionale. Non si tratta di tornare  indietro a quando gli alberi non venivano curati tanto quanto oggi,  quando i bonsai erano selvaggi e ribelli. Spesso si sente che lo stile  bonsai naturalistico dovrebbe essere vietato perché conduce a presentare  qualcosa che è poco formato o non è per nulla formato e chiamarlo  “arte”. Bene, si potrebbe anche vietare lo stile tradizionale bonsai  perché troppo speso conduce la gente che segue meticolosamente le regole  a creare un altro bonsai fatto con lo stampino e pensare che siano  artisti d’avanguardia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lo stile naturalistico è giusto un'altra opzione per affrontare  l’impostazione del bonsai. E’ perfettamente comprensibile non piaccia  l’intera idea o il risultato finale presentato. E’ un’opinione  rispettabile pensare che l’obbiettivo non sia stato raggiunto in molti  esempi. Ma significa questo che l’obbietivo era sbagliato? E’  perfettamente giusto dire che uno ha capito la direzione, ma nonostante  ciò decida di continuare di lavorare lungo i meglio conosciuti e  tradizionali sentieri. E’ solo un consiglio circa come può essere  affrontata l’arte bonsai. Non sto dicendo “tu DEVI farlo”, che si debba  solo lavorare in modo naturalistico da ora. Non è necessario cambiare  completamente e radicalmente. Uno può fare bonsai solo in modo più  naturale da ora. Uno può anche prendere una decisione dettata dal  materiale. Contrariamente a come molti si aspettano, io faccio un sacco  di alberi abbastanza tradizionali o anche moderni, perché il materiale  mi dice che questo è quello che vuole diventare.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ad ogni modo, penso che lo stile naturalistico ha aggiunto un’altra  opzione allo stile generale e questo rende l’arte più interessante e  crea molte più possibilità. Questo può essere più divertente di fare  ancora un altro (un solito) bonsai. Perché non può essere più tollerante  il mondo bonsai? Bene, può esserlo. Proviamo da ora.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6766982247296412626-4943193523254641604?l=walter-pall-bonsai.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://walter-pall-bonsai.blogspot.com/feeds/4943193523254641604/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6766982247296412626&amp;postID=4943193523254641604&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6766982247296412626/posts/default/4943193523254641604'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6766982247296412626/posts/default/4943193523254641604'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://walter-pall-bonsai.blogspot.com/2011/11/lo-stile-bonsai-naturalistico.html' title='Lo stile bonsai naturalistico'/><author><name>Walter Pall</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08398046016738136730</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://walter-pall.de/avtar6'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766982247296412626.post-4224586566451365466</id><published>2011-11-13T11:50:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2011-11-13T11:52:18.546+01:00</updated><title type='text'>improvement</title><content type='html'>For a day I thought that this hornbeam should now be presented at Noelanders Trophy in January and at Shun Ten in Germany in March. But at second thought I decided to improve it still.&lt;br /&gt;The enemy of the good is the better. Satisfaction is the end of progress.&lt;br /&gt;The ugly wires wills stay on probably until April 2013. Then the tree will be ready.&lt;br /&gt;Whoever does bonsai for very serious will always have a collection with ugly work in progress.&lt;br /&gt;The end result counts.&lt;br /&gt;Philosophically this is a main difference between Eastern and Western thinking. In the East the process it the most important. Ugliness is never ever accepted.&lt;br /&gt;In the West only the result counts. It does not matter really how ugly it is until then. At least I am quite happy with this notion.&lt;br /&gt;The function of wire is not to be beautiful. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-h_-cCt32fXM/Tr-e1G4lGJI/AAAAAAAA8IY/G_pmGuuMy_s/s1600/2011-11-QDSC_8525DNGw.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-h_-cCt32fXM/Tr-e1G4lGJI/AAAAAAAA8IY/G_pmGuuMy_s/s640/2011-11-QDSC_8525DNGw.jpg" width="582" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7AyiR3ofJ1o/Tr-e4EBi9TI/AAAAAAAA8Ik/0oGZqsorcgE/s1600/2011-11-QDSC_8526DNGw.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7AyiR3ofJ1o/Tr-e4EBi9TI/AAAAAAAA8Ik/0oGZqsorcgE/s640/2011-11-QDSC_8526DNGw.jpg" width="579" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IjXolT-TU10/Tr-e9rN4L4I/AAAAAAAA8I8/LLGBk7gzzQ8/s1600/2011-11-QDSC_8527DNGw.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IjXolT-TU10/Tr-e9rN4L4I/AAAAAAAA8I8/LLGBk7gzzQ8/s640/2011-11-QDSC_8527DNGw.jpg" width="598" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6qhq8HgOW6Y/Tr-fAc2k2EI/AAAAAAAA8JI/R9O7TECKAOg/s1600/2011-11-QDSC_8528DNGw.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6qhq8HgOW6Y/Tr-fAc2k2EI/AAAAAAAA8JI/R9O7TECKAOg/s640/2011-11-QDSC_8528DNGw.jpg" width="569" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uxPDfU65h2s/Tr-fFA--WTI/AAAAAAAA8JU/8e-Z-vab7e8/s1600/2011-11-QDSC_8531DNGw.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uxPDfU65h2s/Tr-fFA--WTI/AAAAAAAA8JU/8e-Z-vab7e8/s640/2011-11-QDSC_8531DNGw.jpg" width="576" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-E1YTYW7xp5U/Tr-fK7C0-mI/AAAAAAAA8Js/54KeFUf7crI/s1600/2011-11-QDSC_8532DNGw.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-E1YTYW7xp5U/Tr-fK7C0-mI/AAAAAAAA8Js/54KeFUf7crI/s640/2011-11-QDSC_8532DNGw.jpg" width="568" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6766982247296412626-4224586566451365466?l=walter-pall-bonsai.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://walter-pall-bonsai.blogspot.com/feeds/4224586566451365466/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6766982247296412626&amp;postID=4224586566451365466&amp;isPopup=true' title='9 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6766982247296412626/posts/default/4224586566451365466'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6766982247296412626/posts/default/4224586566451365466'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://walter-pall-bonsai.blogspot.com/2011/11/improvement.html' title='improvement'/><author><name>Walter Pall</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08398046016738136730</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://walter-pall.de/avtar6'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-h_-cCt32fXM/Tr-e1G4lGJI/AAAAAAAA8IY/G_pmGuuMy_s/s72-c/2011-11-QDSC_8525DNGw.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>9</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766982247296412626.post-3308120760221081706</id><published>2011-11-13T09:16:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2011-11-13T10:06:50.421+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Oriental hornbeam #2</title><content type='html'>Oriental hornbeam, Carpinus orientalis. collected in 2009, first styling in April 2010.

I put fire to every singly piece of deadwood on this tree.&lt;br /&gt;If you look close you can see that a lot of the foliage on the frontal left side is burned. That is due to a silly accident. An 'empty' gas can accidentally got in touch with a still very hot torch and startet to burn. What an irresponsible way to burn a tree and almost cause an explosion! Well, I am guilty and I will not do it again. As I can tell nothing very serious happened. The branches are burned, but only slightly and will live.&lt;br /&gt;A full solution of lime sulphur was painted all over the deadwood. It looks gray as the wood is black from fire. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-B73IPlWgIqY/Tr656irYrOI/AAAAAAAA8As/F5LNwaeiubg/s1600/QDSC_8484DNGw.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Don't expect much. This is a feature for housewives, children, jobless, retired and sick folks. I will speak about bonsai in a very rudimentary way. However, I plan to bring a few trees with me to show to the world what a real bonsai looks like vs. a 'bonsai' from the supermaket. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The problem is the same around the world. Just about everybody to whom you say bonsai, will think of the things one can buy for 19,98 and bring instead of a flower bouquet. 'I had one of those and it died'. That's the sort of response one gets.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; I will try to straighten this out a bit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Look here:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.br.de/fernsehen/bayerisches-fernsehen/programmkalender/sendung133892.html"&gt;Bavarian Television, Tuesday, Nov. 8, 2011&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6766982247296412626-7290349585855157148?l=walter-pall-bonsai.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://walter-pall-bonsai.blogspot.com/feeds/7290349585855157148/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6766982247296412626&amp;postID=7290349585855157148&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6766982247296412626/posts/default/7290349585855157148'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6766982247296412626/posts/default/7290349585855157148'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://walter-pall-bonsai.blogspot.com/2011/11/wp-in-bavarian-television.html' title='WP in Bavarian Television'/><author><name>Walter Pall</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08398046016738136730</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://walter-pall.de/avtar6'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766982247296412626.post-2664306778568433091</id><published>2011-11-03T12:32:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2011-11-03T12:56:48.853+01:00</updated><title type='text'>new mugo pine</title><content type='html'>Very old mug pine, Pinus mugo, collected by Marco Merschel, who shows it to me. This tree found it's way into my garden today. The first thing I did was pulling the two stiff trunks together. I had to do it three times with copper wire 3mm to finally do the job. There is still some room for bending further. I will do this next summer.

A bonsai can have won many awards and be world famous. But it still needs constant work to improve or stay at the same level at least. As one can see I edited the crown by cutting back a bit and cutting out some branches. Then I applied guy wires, lots of them. They do a function very well and quickly. The function is not to be beautiful. This will come when they get off in just about twelve months. Then it is supposed to look like no wire was ever applied and 'nature did it all'. &lt;br /&gt;My aim here is to make this tree look wilder. It is just to tame, too nice, too much 'bonsai'. It will get a somewhat wild look within the next growing season.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-S0MChg8CSTk/TrFnHT1C_iI/AAAAAAAA69g/clL2H2Tw6ZM/s1600/2011-10-QDSC_8229DNGofw.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

will be held again from December 2 to December 3 at Nature's Way Nursery in Harrisburg, PA. Bonsai Academy with bring your own workshop.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Call Nature's Way Nursery (Jim Doyle) for more information and signing up:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(717) 545-4555&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;or write:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nature's Way Nursery &lt;natureswaybonsa(at)comcast.net&gt;&lt;/natureswaybonsa(at)comcast.net&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It will be possible to participate as&lt;br /&gt;- full member two days&lt;br /&gt;- full member one day&lt;br /&gt;- silent observer for a fee one or two days&lt;br /&gt;- lurker for free for 20 to 30 minutes to see what's going on and to decide whether you want to participate immediately or later&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It will be possible to purchase exquisite collected American material right then for everyone. You don't need to take part in the Bonsai Academy for that. There will be a special discount just on these days. &lt;br /&gt;There are about 300 collected trees there. A few dozen are outright  world class, many very good, all hand selected by myself. There are over  170 trees in the range from US$ 45 to 600, about 50 from 600 to 1,500.  Everybody can find himself a genuine American collected tree.&lt;br /&gt;They give guarantee for recently collected stuff as long as you leave it  in the nursery - money back or credit in case the tree did not make it.  There are over 100 collected trees which are very well established and  can be worked on right away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am not aware whether there is a nursery in all of&amp;nbsp; America which has  such a lot quality collected stuff to offer. East of the Rockies  Nature's Way Nursery is THE source for quality collected trees. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In spring of 2012 there will be about 150 or more new trees again.  Woodstock  April 2 there will be  tow workshops again, one with ponderosa pines.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I look forward to see you all there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-T1UgjRhfzSM/TrBqYf87BAI/AAAAAAAA69U/rpwTRnRoJ2I/s1600/IBA_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-T1UgjRhfzSM/TrBqYf87BAI/AAAAAAAA69U/rpwTRnRoJ2I/s1600/IBA_1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6766982247296412626-5452294541414389126?l=walter-pall-bonsai.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://walter-pall-bonsai.blogspot.com/feeds/5452294541414389126/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6766982247296412626&amp;postID=5452294541414389126&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6766982247296412626/posts/default/5452294541414389126'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6766982247296412626/posts/default/5452294541414389126'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://walter-pall-bonsai.blogspot.com/2011/11/winter-with-walter-and-jim-in.html' title='&apos;Winter with Walter and Jim&apos; in Harrisburg, Dec. 2 and 3, 2011'/><author><name>Walter Pall</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08398046016738136730</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://walter-pall.de/avtar6'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-T1UgjRhfzSM/TrBqYf87BAI/AAAAAAAA69U/rpwTRnRoJ2I/s72-c/IBA_1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766982247296412626.post-1086510915415743626</id><published>2011-11-01T23:04:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2011-11-07T23:36:09.014+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Workshop in Portland, Or Dec. 6, 2011</title><content type='html'>On Tuesday, December 6, 2011, I will be in Portland area again.

It is about friendship, about learning and about inspiration. The times we are together outside of the seminar room is just as important as the workshops themselves. There is a strong dedicated group of people in Strasbourg, France who will do the same thing again on October 20/21, 2012.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See much more here:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://walter-pall-travelogues.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://walter-pall-travelogues.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you want to participate? In the Strasbourg weekend the working language is German, very little French is spoken! In Alsace, France many folks speak German fluently. So If your language is German, you can apply to participate. Write to Daniel Heckel in German: daheckel(at)estvideo.fr&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Einladung: Die Geschäftssprache bei den Seminaren des Strassburger Vereins ist Deutsch. Man muss überhaupt nicht französisch sprechen um daran teil zu nehmen. Wer interssiert ist, bitte and Daniel Heckel auf Deutsch schreiben: daheckel(at)estvideo.fr&lt;br /&gt;Auch für Deine bessere Hälfte ist Platz auf der Burg&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The ugly wires around the foliage are, of course, only there to make work on deadwoode easier. The wire will go off completely soon. I do NOT plan to wire this year. The earliest time to wire will be around April/May next year if the tree looks happy then. &lt;br /&gt;Also repotting will have to wait for spring next year although I would not touch the root ball anyway. Tomorrow more carving.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZNBb0h0gCCw/Tq7oHxJhilI/AAAAAAAA6gw/8hQ_48AP5Ds/s1600/QDSC_8230DNGw.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZNBb0h0gCCw/Tq7oHxJhilI/AAAAAAAA6gw/8hQ_48AP5Ds/s640/QDSC_8230DNGw.jpg" width="459" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2--Ej30gNHY/Tq7oK-S9JvI/AAAAAAAA6g8/sE-nOC59VjQ/s1600/QDSC_8231DNGw.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2--Ej30gNHY/Tq7oK-S9JvI/AAAAAAAA6g8/sE-nOC59VjQ/s640/QDSC_8231DNGw.jpg" width="464" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6766982247296412626-3087570633767749444?l=walter-pall-bonsai.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://walter-pall-bonsai.blogspot.com/feeds/3087570633767749444/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6766982247296412626&amp;postID=3087570633767749444&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6766982247296412626/posts/default/3087570633767749444'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6766982247296412626/posts/default/3087570633767749444'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://walter-pall-bonsai.blogspot.com/2011/10/more-progress-with-yew-2.html' title='more progress with yew #2'/><author><name>Walter Pall</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08398046016738136730</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://walter-pall.de/avtar6'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZNBb0h0gCCw/Tq7oHxJhilI/AAAAAAAA6gw/8hQ_48AP5Ds/s72-c/QDSC_8230DNGw.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766982247296412626.post-484743342098944853</id><published>2011-10-27T22:10:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2011-10-27T22:10:23.587+01:00</updated><title type='text'>virtuals for European yew #2</title><content type='html'>The yew is featured in parallel to this blog in the German Fachforum (http://www.bonsai-fachforum.de/).

The center tree gets weaker and weaker. It just does not get enough water with minerals compared to the outer trunks. And then all trunks at one time were about the same width. If one does nothing the center trunk will become thinner compared to the others all the time. But artistically one wants just the opposite. It is hard work to overcome this problem. One has to let grow the center trunk uninhibited EVERY year. So this tree looks quite untidy EVERY summer. Many visitors will wonder why I did not bother to clean my trees before they came. October is a good time to get rid of the sacrifice branch before the tree goes into winter storage.&lt;br /&gt;See last image s of May 2008 as I go the tree.

Ärmer ging's kaum. Noch schlimmer, von Vater keine Spur. Ein Bankert. Kein Geld für Schuhe. Wo nichts ist kommt nichts hin. Im Sommer ging er immer barfuß, in die Schule, Im Winter mit merkwürdigen Socken und Stallschlapfen. Einmal ist er ausgerutscht. Da hat er sich den Unterschenkel gebrochen. Geld für den Arzt war nicht und auch sonst nicht viel Fürsorge. So wuchs das Bein eben von alleine zusammen. Mit Kindern spielte er nie. Er hat's probiert. Früher. Da haben sie ihn weg gestoßen. Mit einem bankerten Häuslerbuam spielen sie nicht. Er war sehr gelehrig in seiner Armut. Auf Menschen zu zu gehen ist falsch. Sie stoßen Dich weg und es schmerzt. Wo nichts ist kommt nichts hin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alles war vorgezeichnet: Schulabbruch, versaute Lehrstellen, Kleinkriminalität, Suff, schlimme Beziehungen, früher Tod, vielleicht gewaltsam. Wo nix is kimmt nix hi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aber es kam ganz anders. Ganz ganz anders. Der Bub macht zwar keinen vernünftigen Schulabschluss, brachte es aber trotzdem zu einer Lehre und war bald der Beste. Er wurde älter und war immer noch besser. Als der Alte kinderlos starb, erbte er den großen Betrieb. Er führte ihn erfolgreich und verkaufte ihn dann, kurz bevor alles den Bach hinunter ging zum Bestpreis an die Agrarmafia. Die fluchen heute noch auf ihn. Mit dem Geld kaufte er Häuser und vermietete sie. Mit der Miete kaufte er Häuser und vermietetet sie. Dann hatte er hundert. Dann Grundstücke an strategischen Punkten. Dann wurden Straßen gebaut. Dann waren es hunderte Häuser. Dann war er der König im Tal. Aber er war immer noch der bankerte Häuslerbub. Sie schnitten ihn. Ein König ohne Volk. Er baute das prächtigste Haus weit und breit. Zur Einweihung hatten sie keine Zeit. Er kaufte die Alm, die man vom Tal aus auf der andern Seite bei den hohen Bergen von weitem sieht. Alle wussten es. Das war seine Alm, sein Mahnmal, sein Zeichen an sie. Wo nix is kimmt nix hi. Wie kann denn da was hinkommen, sagten sie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ein ganz gestandener Mann. Ganz selten kam immer noch der bankerte Häuslerbub durch. Dann starb er plötzlich.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beim Begräbnis waren alle da. Plötzlich wussten sie, wen sie verloren. Sehr beeindruckend war die Menge an Leuten und Autos im Dorf. Berührend die Gruppe Türken, die da standen und dem Begräbniszug nachsahen. Ihnen hatte er als Einziger Wohnungen vermietet. Zu weit überhöhtem Preis natürlich, aber immerhin. Wo nix is kimmt nix hi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bei den Reden sagten sie, dass es ein Wunder sei, wie er aus dem Nichts alles geschaffen hat mit diesen Wurzeln. Und was für ein Großartiger er gewesen sei. Ein Studierter sagte, das es kein Wunder sei, sondern das nur aus solchen Wurzeln so was Gewaltiges entstehen konnte.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Über seiner Alm ist da der ganz große Felsen, viel größer als das größte Haus. Da droben steht ein ganz einsamer Baum. Eine prächtige Fichte, keine schönere weit und breit. Ganz stolz, hoch aufragend, schlank und stark. Die Fichte schlechthin. Wer näher kommt, der sieht die Wurzeln. Sie krümmen sich noch, als wäre in der Kindheit der Unterschenkel gebrochen. Man sieht, dass der Baum in frühen Jahren ganz ganz arm war, dass er gerade noch überleben konnte da oben auf dem Stein. Er war ganz alleine, kein Kontakt zu den anderen Bäumen da oben auf dem kargen Felsen. Vorgezeichnet ein früher Tod des arg verkrümmten Baumes. Da gelang es einer einzigen Wurzel plötzlich, über den Felsen hinunter auf sehr fruchtbaren Boden zu stoßen. Von da an ging's ganz schnell bergauf. Der Baum wuchs stolz und hoch. Der höchste und schönste weit und breit. Genau über der Alm vom Josef. Wer sie sieht, der ist sehr beeindruckt. Die die näher kommen und die Wurzeln sehen, sagen oft 'die Wurzeln passen nicht zum Baum'. Manche sagen ' der Baum passt nicht zu den Wurzeln'.

he is easily one of its most vibrant. Outspoken, thought-provoking and unconventional, he is a champion of the naturalistic style and a great proponent of working with wild-collected plants. His ideas about bonsai styling and bonsai display have sparked controversy and inspired a new generation of bonsai artists. The North Carolina Arboretum is proud to welcome him back for his second visit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those who may be unfamiliar with Mr. Pall and his work, a visit to his web site will prove an eye opening experience. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Participating Bonsai Clubs&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;North Carolina&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blue Ridge Bonsai Club, Asheville&lt;br /&gt;Bonsai Society of the Carolinas, Charlotte&lt;br /&gt;Cape Fear Bonsai Society, Wilmington&lt;br /&gt;Hendersonville Bonsai Study Group, Hendersonville&lt;br /&gt;Piedmont NC Bonsai Association, Winston Salem&lt;br /&gt;Triangle Bonsai Society, Raleigh&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;South Carolina&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Black Creek Study Group, Columbia&lt;br /&gt;Upstate SC Study Group, Greenville&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tennessee&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Knoxville Bonsai Society, Knoxville&lt;br /&gt;Mid-Appalachian Bonsai Kai, Johnson City&lt;br /&gt;Nashville Bonsai Society, Nashville&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Virginia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hinoki Bonsai Club, Roanoke&lt;br /&gt;Mountain Empire Bonsai Society, Wytheville&lt;br /&gt;Virginia Bonsai Society, Norfolk&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Georgia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Atlanta Bonsai Society, Atlanta&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pennsylvania&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Susquehanna Bonsai Club, Harrisburg&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bonsai Marketplace&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Featuring the following vendors:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bonsai Learning Center, Charlotte, NC&lt;br /&gt;Matsu Momiji Nursery, Fuquay-Varina, NC&lt;br /&gt;Meco Bonsai, Lancaster, PA&lt;br /&gt;Meehan’s Miniatures, Rohrersville, MD&lt;br /&gt;Mike Brawley Bonsai, Charlotte, NC&lt;br /&gt;Nature's Way Nursery, Harrisburg, PA&lt;br /&gt;Osiga Company, Ellicott City, MD&lt;br /&gt;Tall Pines Bonsai, Columbia, SC&lt;br /&gt;Turnbull Creek Bonsai, Burns, TN&lt;br /&gt;Wild Things Bonsai Studio, Hartville, OH&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Educational Progams&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2011 CAROLINA BONSAI EXPO MAIN EVENT&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Naturalistic Bonsai Style”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saturday, October 8, 1:00 to 5:00 PM&lt;br /&gt;Internationally recognized bonsai authority and 2011 Carolina Bonsai Expo guest artist Walter Pall conducts a lesson in Naturalistic Bonsai design.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a discussion thread on a well-known bonsai web site some time back, the topic turned to the idea of alternatives to the traditional, Japanese-identified style of bonsai. After some talk about American bonsai, and European bonsai, and naturalistic bonsai, one respondent had an angry reaction. “Ridiculous!” he wrote. “To me bonsai is bonsai. Other than to give benevolent justification for incompetence, there is no room for regional subdivisions. Nor is there room for ‘naturalistic’ bonsai. The very practice of bonsai is not natural. As soon as you lay scissor to twig nature has come to an end. A claim to be creating naturalistic bonsai is nothing more than a sales gimmick, as has been publicly acknowledged by its chief proponent.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The name of this “chief proponent” was not mentioned, because there was no need to do so. At this point in time, the name of Walter Pall and the concept of naturalistic bonsai are practically synonymous. He has written extensively about it, defining it and defending it across several continents and the vast expanse of the Internet, answering questions from doubters and fending off attacks from people who view him as some sort of horticultural heretic. Now he is coming to Asheville to be guest artist at the 16th annual Carolina Bonsai Expo, and to make his definitive statement about the Naturalistic Style of bonsai.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The North Carolina Arboretum is proud to welcome one of the most provocative, articulate and talented bonsai artists in the world today – Mr. Walter Pall of Germany. In a very special educational presentation on Saturday afternoon, Mr. Pall will begin with a slide show to illustrate his ideas about naturalistic design, using beautiful photographic images of bonsai from his own collection and others he has seen in his travels around the world. He will then move on to a live demonstration of his technique and naturalistic design concept, working with an old, untrained Scots Pine. The result of his work will be the newest addition to the NC Arboretum’s bonsai collection. Perhaps somewhere along the way someone will ask if naturalistic bonsai is really nothing more than a sales gimmick… and you better believe there will be a ready and entertaining answer! The “Main Event” presentation from the guest artist is always a highlight of any Expo, but this year’s promises to be particularly memorable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This program is being given a time slot of 4 hours, in order to allow Mr. Pall ample opportunity to cover his topic in-depth while working on a challenging tree. Registrants will be able to come and go freely during this time. The program will be conducted in the classrooms on the 1st floor of the Education Center.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The cost of this program is $20 for Arboretum members and $23 for non-members and the 100 available spaces will be sold on a first come, first served basis. Reservations can be made online (beginning 9/26/11), by phone during business hours Monday through Friday ((828) 665-2492 ask for Peggy Eavenson) or in person at the Arboretum. Reservations must be secured by payment, either by credit card at the time of registration or by personal check received within 5 working days of the time of registration.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2011 CAROLINA BONSAI EXPO WORKSHOPS&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These educational programs will take place in the comfort of the Arboretum’s Greenhouse Support Facility, and will be open only to participants – no “observer” positions are available.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saturday, October 8, 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bonsai artist Randy Clark conducts a Literati bonsai workshop using staked Procumbens Juniper.&lt;br /&gt;Please note: this program is not for novice or beginner level students! Participants must have experience and a firm grasp of bonsai fundamentals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Writing about the literati approach in bonsai design, Mr. Clark recently observed: “Most people make the common mistake of assuming literati is a particular form of bonsai, like cascade or informal upright. This is understandable, but incorrect. In fact, literati is an artistic approach which may be applied to any traditional bonsai form. The literati approach places emphasis on designs which reflect pictures of trees in ancient Chinese scroll paintings. It is a very free-form approach to the art which does not demand rigid adherence to many of the traditional bonsai styling rules.” Few plants lend themselves to literati design more readily than Procumbens Junipers that have been staked and pre-trained to grow upright. This workshop features just such plant material, expertly chosen by Mr. Clark expressly for this purpose. Each plant stands approximately two feet in height, and is well established in a 5-gallon plastic pot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Randy Clark is a nationally known and much respected bonsai artist, teacher and nurseryman. He has 40 years of bonsai experience, including the past 20 years as proprietor of The Bonsai Learning Center in Charlotte, North Carolina’s only full time, full service bonsai nursery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Class size will be limited to only 7 (seven) participants in order to maximize the one-on-one time for each student with Mr. Clark. Participants must provide their own tools and wire. Wiring will be an integral part of this workshop, so students are advised to have an ample supply of copper or aluminum bonsai wire in a range of gauges. Plants will not be re-potted as part of this class.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The cost of this workshop is $100 for Arboretum members and $110 for non-members and the 7 available spaces will be sold on a first come, first served basis. Reservations can be made by phone ((828) 665-2492 ask for Peggy Eavenson) or in person at the Arboretum; sorry, but no reservations may be made via the Internet. Reservations must be secured by payment, either by credit card at the time of registration or by personal check received within 5 working days of the time of registration. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reservations will be taken beginning at 9:00 AM on Thursday, September 22. No reservations will be accepted prior to that time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sunday, October 9, 9:00 AM – 2:00 PM&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2011 Carolina Bonsai Expo guest artist Walter Pall conducts a workshop program on naturalistic bonsai design, using collected Ponderosa Pine&lt;br /&gt;Please note: this program is not for novice or beginner level students! Participants must have experience and a firm grasp of bonsai fundamentals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In this exclusive workshop students will work with old, wild-collected Ponderosa Pines, guided by one of the foremost bonsai artists in the world today. These trees are genuinely old. They were collected in Colorado and all have been established in containers for at least two years (some longer than that). They are currently being held at Nature’s Way Nursery in eastern Pennsylvania, where they have been successfully growing for at least one year. These plants were hand-selected by Mr. Pall expressly for this workshop, and are being provided at a reduced price in honor of his appearance at the Carolina Bonsai Expo. The Expo has never before in its sixteen-year history offered a workshop using this level of plant material.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Class size will be limited to only 7 (seven) participants in order to maximize the one-on-one time for each student with this world-class bonsai artist. Please note that this workshop is scheduled for five hours, in order to allow ample time for quality work on exceptional plant material. Participants must provide their own tools and wire. Wiring will be an integral part of this workshop, so students are required to have an ample supply of copper or aluminum bonsai wire in a range of gauges. Plants will not be re-potted as part of this class.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The cost of this workshop is $390 for Arboretum members and $440 for non-members and the 7 available spaces will be sold on a first come, first served basis. Reservations can be made by phone ((828) 665-2492 ask for Peggy Eavenson) or in person at the Arboretum; sorry, but no reservations may be made via the Internet. Reservations must be secured by payment, either by credit card at the time of registration or by personal check received within 5 working days of the time of registration. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reservations will be taken beginning at 9:00 AM on Thursday, September 22. No reservations will be accepted prior to that time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2011 Carolina Bonsai Expo Free Lectures and Demonstrations&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(All programs listed take place in the classrooms on the 1st floor of the Education Center)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saturday, October 8th:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11:00 AM to 12:00 PM – “Contemporary Ikebana in Unconventional Containers”, horticultural design demonstration by Terri Ellis Todd, Master in the Ichiyo School of Ikebana and past president of the Asheville Chapter of Ikebana International. Ikebana is a uniquely creative form of horticultural art, which often employs cut flowers, grasses, woody plant stems that may be bare or have leaves or fruit, and any number of other items that provide texture, color and form. In this presentation Mrs. Todd will be working in a more modern vein, using containers of her own personal design. Mrs. Todd is an active ikebana artist and teacher in the western North Carolina region, and she has presented excellent demonstrations and conducted numerous workshops at the NC Arboretum and the Folk Art Center, among other places. The Arboretum is proud to feature her once again, in a continuation of the harmonious relationship between bonsai and ikebana at the Carolina Bonsai Expo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sunday, October 9th:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10:00 AM to 12:00 PM – “Something Wild”, bonsai lecture, slide show and demonstration by Jim Doyle, bonsai artist and proprietor of Nature’s Way Nursery in Harrisburg, PA. Few people in American bonsai are as well known and well liked as Jim, who has toured as a teacher extensively in this country and in Europe, and furthered his bonsai knowledge through numerous visits to China and Japan. In the past ten years he has become a fixture at the Carolina Bonsai Expo. Jim was a guest artist at the 2001 Expo and has returned each year as a vendor, exhibitor, auctioneer and teacher, and has generally been a great friend to bonsai at the NC Arboretum. In this special presentation, he will share his personal philosophy regarding nature and the design and appreciation of bonsai. Although he is pleasant and mild mannered on the outside, on the inside Jim has some untamed urges, and now he is ready to unleash them on the world. The Arboretum is pleased to give him the stage and provide this opportunity for Expo attendees to experience something wild.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1:00 to 2:00 PM – “Starting Out in Bonsai”, bonsai lecture and demonstration by Arthur Joura, bonsai curator at the NC Arboretum, with John Geanangel and Ken Duncan of the Black Creek Study Group, Columbia, SC. The Carolina Bonsai Expo is a showcase for some of the finest bonsai in the eastern US, and features guest bonsai artists of international stature, but the people behind the amazing trees and the experts up on the stage all had to start someplace – at one point they were all bonsai beginners. For those who are at that point right now, or think they might like to be, this presentation is specifically for you. What kinds of plants are good to start with? How do you keep a bonsai healthy? How do you know what to cut off? These questions and any others you might have will be addressed, by words and examples, in a lively and entertaining hour of learning. Ken, John and Arthur have participated in every Expo since the first, and have often shared the stage in joint presentations, never failing to produce a pleasing blend of good work and good fun. This program is intended for people who are just getting started in bonsai, but it is also open to anyone who might like a reminder of why they did.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6766982247296412626-2317088746342740671?l=walter-pall-bonsai.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://walter-pall-bonsai.blogspot.com/feeds/2317088746342740671/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6766982247296412626&amp;postID=2317088746342740671&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6766982247296412626/posts/default/2317088746342740671'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6766982247296412626/posts/default/2317088746342740671'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://walter-pall-bonsai.blogspot.com/2011/09/carolina-bonsai-expo-october-89.html' title='CAROLINA BONSAI EXPO October 8 and 9'/><author><name>Walter Pall</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08398046016738136730</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://walter-pall.de/avtar6'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fGRP-n5QYrQ/Tn1xmDNIneI/AAAAAAAA31Q/S-MS6RYMwuM/s72-c/2011_e10.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766982247296412626.post-4708835988065983101</id><published>2011-09-23T18:49:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2011-09-23T20:59:47.184+01:00</updated><title type='text'>European black pine #11</title><content type='html'>European black pine, Pinus nigra Austriaca, collected in Austria.
