Ready for spring
When this issue goes to print, spring will
almost be here and before you know it things
start to burst back into life. I think it's one of
the best seasons for bonsai, all the new fresh
leaves carefully unfold and the new growth
appears on the trees. Things start to blossom
and bloom, it's all very celebratory.
If you focus only on conifers, which are,
after all, very creative and expressive, you
can sometimes forget that a bonsai has even
more to offer. Like flowering shohin, these
small trees can really grab your attention
with their over-sized flowers.
Emerging talent, Jan Culek of the Czech
Republic, is guest demonstrator this time.
He worked on a very special pine that comes
from the collection of Josef Valuch. This very
densely overgrown tree really needed some
attention, but it became quite a puzzle for
Jan. Step by step he managed to untangle the
mismatch of branches to create a stunning
tree.
Our French editor, Patrick Bosc, travelled to
Japan
last
year. In
his second
report he shows
us how the famed pines grow in large fields
around Takematsu in the north of Shikoku.
Once again it was a trip with many cultural
encounters on this wonderful island.
It's like entering another world when you
visit the garden of Angel Mota, who lives on
Mallorca, the big brother island of Ibiza. His
garden is dedicated to decades of collecting
and growing wild olives. The majestic size
of these trees really makes one humble and
respectful. The trees, as Angel says himself,
really speak of history and old age.
More aged trees and how to make them look
even older, can be found in the second part of
Harry Harrington’s article on the deadwood of
deciduous trees.
Enjoy the read.
