Sabina chinensis bonsai

Sabina chinensis bonsai


The Sabina chinensis it is being implanted in 6-inch plastic pot cultivation for a long time, and when it's leafy, they were only the top leaves exposed basins, unassuming, but a closer look at the leaf conditions, above pale green, the bottom was dark green, It's very layered, and the whole plant was floating hairy foliage, trunk thick, work is no longer required fee arrangement and cultivation, really good potting material.

I think the time has come for it to be put on a suitable classical ceramic pot, can make it appear vigorous and honest, the whole texture is completely different.

Clothes make the man, Sabina chinensis to pot ......

nice starting material for shohin bonsai but i think is not sabina juniper,

What is the wire round the base of the trunk attached to?

There is no such thing as Sabina chinensis. You probably have Juniperus chinensis. Juniperus sabina is a European species.

it looks like it is attached to the pot. It can be seen in the bottom of the pot. if it is, is too high in the trunk.

Using a matel wire to fix planting in terracotta pots.

This material has great potential and you are off to a good start. Gradually, in about 3 to 5 years you could work on reducing the foliage and defining them to give the impact of a larger tree (some heavy wiring and shaping on the cascading branch will be required). My virtual below maybe too drastic... but you get the point. In reality I would expect my virtual to have more defined foliage especially around the apex (it is hard to show that in MS Paint).

Well, much thanks for your assess.

I also tried one more in my computer to do the real situation modeled simulate this plant growth after 5 years .It looks nice.
Shown in below pictures.

Now

After 5 years.

I think you would need to try to get far more clearly defined pads into this tree - just as juniper07 has done in his virtual. Otherwise it may look like a garden shrub stuck in a pot.

Reality has its value, but virtual also has its  fun, While it is simple but it is also a kind of beauty. Keep your smile like your watching.....
seems to enjoy the complex virtual scene movie  from the UK  ~  Harry Potter!
