DRAGON BONSAI Sunday workshop 22 December

Not many here today, all out Christmas shopping maybe! There was still plenty to do, Jason defoliated and potted a very nice Oak

Good old bark on this oak but maybe a little bit of a problem with the nabari from the front that Jason would like to use, this could be overcome by placing a stone ( not this one it just to give an idea), in the base of the trunk





Glen helped Jason with the re pot

With attention to the ramification and the right stone in position at the base of the trunk this will make a fine tree

Jackie has had this little olive for a few months now and now was the time to decide on the style that she wanted, she went with a broom style so it was pruned to shape for growing for ramification this summer.

Jackie worked on a hawthorn, taking the thorns off for !!!!!

Lena had spent the last 2 Sundays wiring this larch group that she had put together






This should be a great image in a few seasons time

So not many here today but it was still a busy time

Merry Christmas to all members and to all of you out there on the IBC

Regards Chris

An enjoyable and productive day at the Den, haven't been down for a while. It was a nice surprise to find that buried nebari under the oak. I must have seen it before when the tree was potted up but had completely forgotten it was there. Next job is to roam the hills of west Wales looking for a suitable stone (it is becoming increasingly difficult to convince my wife that I'm not losing the plot).

As ever, good advice from Chris brought out the best design for the tree.

Cheers all, and Merry Christmas!

Jason.

Hi Jason, sorry for the late reply
It was a good day and thanks for chance to look at that Oak.

Regards Chris
