European black pine #15
European black pine, Pinus nigra Austriaca, collected in Croatia in 2009. I have recieved this tree recently. It waas in rather negelcted state, and a bit weak. Threfore I did not do the whole styling at once. The tree would look much better immediately, but there is the danger of some branches dying. So I left it at this and will do the detailed wiring in twelve months. Anyway, it has good potential, I feel. the training pot is fine for the moment. In a year I might put it into the final pot though without disturbing the roots.

European spruce #71 brought one step further
European spruce, Picea abies,collected in spring of 2012 in Austria. This is an interesting tree as it has four tops and is very high and elegant. It could be a remarkable bosani some day. After having left alone this spruce for two vegetation periods I decided to clean it now. All small dead branches were removed, some green long branches were shortened, deadwood was edited. Now the tree will rest another year and hopefull grow well. The thick branches might be wired by the end of next summer. I will report.

Oriental hornbeam #20 in bonsai pot finally
Oriental hornbeam, Carpinus orientalis, collected in Croatia in 2010. Finally the tree is in a good pot by Horst Heinzlreiter. When I look at the old images I am always amazed how quickly one can create a decent bonsai from very raw material with this species.
