Larch repotted

This time in its first bonsai pot, which is not the final one.

Lots to do

The last week the weater has been quite plesent. The spring bonsai styling and repotting season has begun.
One of menny tasks today was repotting this pinus mugo into its final pot by the famous Englis potter John Pitt.
The tree needs a few more years of work on the crown.



Photo below was taken in 2008, right after collecting.

Larch rewired

Today I rewired my best larch bonsai. It was the second time this one got wired.
I'll post a new photo when it gets green.


Just to compare. This photo below was taken less then one year ago.

Continuation

As I mentioned yesterday, this weekend we had another session with the Italian bonsai school Progetto futuro. The trees are getting better and better, our knowlage is getting bigger and the company is always the best.
This time the topic was deadwood.










I spent the two days carving two big stumps on my urban yamadori taxus which I got about three years ago from a gas station.


I got lots of tips from Tommaso Triossi. Thanks for all the suggestions!

PF again

Tome for another session with Progetto futuro bonsai school. Today just a few photos. Tomorrow there will be a better report.
