Bald Cypress Group
Hello all, Somewhere I saw someone had mentioned something about how tall bonsai can be. Here is a group planting that I have just put together that certainly qualifies as my tallest/largest planting. It has a ways to go from a training and development perspective, but I think it will develop pretty quickly. My plan for the smallest tree is to develop it to bring about a perspective of distance.
This video is really short...Thanks for watching!!

Re: Bald Cypress Group
So, I guess 65"/1.6m is not too tall:)
I have a couple of other single trees that are going to end up at this height as well.
I am not in the habit of posting links to other forums but these trees are exceptional and if you are a BC lover...especially of large trees. I would say they are well worth a peek...you will have to join the forum to see the pics. What I can't believe is that the guy growing these lives in Michigan....well north of their typical habit.
Be sure to check out all three pages... I cannot imagine trying to collect let alone repot and move Bonzilla!!!

I'm totally distracted by that foot.
Will check out the link once I've had a lie down!
Nice though, John. The trees, I mean.

I am sure there are probably groups for issues like these Fiona

Thanks for the update on your grouping. I like the new front.
That's funny about the foot/toe comment, Dorthy.
That's one of the things I like about jgeanangel's approach...It's no big deal, it's easy-peesy, etc...

Sooo sorry...
I was listening to National Public Radio story on the radio about the Wizard of OZ.
'Dorthy' and the Munchkins just stuck in my brain...

Re: Bald Cypress Group
I can't begin to tell you how refreshing it is to see a bald cypress bonsai styled so that it actually looks like a real cypress - not a redwood or a fat cypress buttress with a Japanese triangle stuck on top of it - but a real, honest to God natural looking cypress. Thanks!

Thank you sir! Looks like the storm damage trees I see along the coastal rivers of SC and also offers the kind the perspective I am attempting to achieve with this group.
Did you ever build the forest we discussed at one time?

I like the new front, John! Did you recently hollow the bottom of main tree or did you already add that previously? Looks killer

Thanks Adam!! The hollowing was created since you saw it last.
