Linden #1

European linden, Tilia platiphyllos, collected in Germany in 1993, first image of 1994. Pot by Derek Aspinall.


 

Field maple #4

Field maple, Acer campestre, collected in Austria in 1996 (first image). Originally it was supposed to become a high, rather traditional tree. But then the main part of the crown died and the maple seemed worthless. So I decided to do something quite unusual. The tree is now in the fairy tale style, looking like a very old spooky tree that has no idea what bonsai is. It is meant to be looked at without foliage in the winter silhouette. Now it looks like a fire ball, but spectacular



 

European yew #2

European yew, Taxus baccata, collected in Poland in 2009, first image of 2011. This tree got the final styling in June of this year. Now, three months later it is time to take another look. Some small branches died as expected. But this did not matter at all. Everything else appears quite vigorous now and the crown does nto have that recently styled look anymore. The tree will sustain a long winter. The chinese pot was adapted by WP.


 

Cembra pine #2

Cembra pine, Swiss stone pine, Pinus cembra, collected in the Alps in 1997. First image of 2004. pot by Dieter Schunta.
