Shohin juniper

Since yesterday i have a new Juniper in my collection.
It has a great body, movement and life vein.
Still some work on it, so that's allso a positive point

Greetings,
Yannick

NICE!!! thats all that needs to be said.

Hola........
When I have seen this tree and it's sharis ,I have had a great surprise. I have thought and I remember this tree. Two years ago I worked this Juniper in Japan in Taisho - En.

Big surprise...Regards from Spain Salva

Hello Salva,

That's a really nice surprise
Thank you very much!

It's allways great to know how the tree evolves in time and where the tree did come from.


Greetings,
Yannick

Yannick, I like your tree very much. Salva, you have done a nice job with this. I think it's so cool how you provided pictures from when you worked on it.

Thanks to you, ybonsai and Joe, greetings and regards from Spain.

Incredibly done shari and jin work on this juniper Salva.
How lucky you are Yannick, to now know who began styling your new bonsai.
Many thanks for sharing it.

Beautiful, looks real healthy.

Update of this tree.
The tree had grown very much and very good since i had it in my collection.
So it was time to give the tree a start.

Yesterday I refined the deadwood a bit,pinched the foliage to let more air and light in the tree, wired and styled this shohin itoigawa.

The backside had a very interesting nebari (deadwood+lifevein together) however you cant see it because of the wet ground.
Allso the twisted lifevein from the front to the back and again to the front was a very interesting point of the tree.

The deadwood was from my opinion allso better,still needs some refinement but this will come in time.
On the right i allso made a little shari to the back near the first right back branch.
Sorry for the colour,the limesulfer was just applied on.

Now it's only matter of time, maturing and the foliage pads need to grow more wider at some places and more thicker.
Allso when in time the deadwood at the nebari rottens there is always a possibility to lift this tree more to the left to make a beautiful cascade out of it,
but this is something what the future will decide.

If some have any idea for a pot?

Give me some suggestion.



Thanks in advance,
best regards,
Yannick

Great work Yannick. Your usual high standards and choice of material.

Great work again Yannick,I will try to make a virtual with a new pot for this tree
Greetings Ed

Will,


Thank you for your big compliment.

Ed,

Thank you to for your compliment and that youre willing to make a virtual.


Best regards,
Yannick

Hi Yannick,here two virtuals for your tree
I hope you like it.
Greetings Ed

Hello Ed Love the pots, who made them? I quite like the second one but then I like rustic pots.

Ed,

Thank you.
I like the second virtual.

But if you have the time and are interested, i thought about something more traditional

Best regards,
Yannick

I don't know who made the pot's Will,but I like them to
Yannick give me some ideas what for pot you like under the tree,and I will make a virtual with it.
Greetings Ed

Maybe you like this one
Greetings Ed

That's heading to a good direction.
Maybe something with a tight red brown colour and maybe a little less high?

Thank you Ed for your input!

Best regards,
Yannick

Hi Yannick, could you bring the lower branch to the front of the jin?

Tony

If you look the difference between the picture before styling and after you see that the branch allready is moved to the front of it.
But it's hard to see on the picture.
maybe i can try to move the branch a little more.

Hi Yannick,
thats a lovely little tree you have there! Only in this size and this good, all little flaws realy stand out! And that's why one thing bothers me in your tree, let me show what I mean!



Above: Red arrow points at the spot that I mean. The trunks line realy looks to bulky there, disturbing the beautiful rhythm in the movement! Now I dont know if it is possible to remove some of the deadwood from in between the 2 jins, following the curve and flow of the trunk ? But it would make a big difference to the overall appearance of this little gem! The jins are adjusted to the new trunk line.



Just a thought!!
Cheers,
Hans van Meer.

Hi again,
there is nothing on the telly, so I made a other virtual with more empty space around that right protruding jin. Making it more prominent and allowing it to play a bigger part in the total appearance of the tree. By just creating some extra open spaces it looks just that little more dynamic! I also changed the size of that pot a little!



Hans and his open spaces?!
Cheers,
Hans van Meer.

Hans many thanks for your virtuals.

Your right, I'll try to adjust the deadwood a bit in future if it is possible on the trunk , otherwise i still can grow some foliage before the trunk that it is hided.

And it looks more dynamic.
These are things i will or can change next year when the tree is growing well.

I will keep you updated.

Allso keep looking to that pot and i begin to like it more and more.

Many thanks.
Best regards,
Yannick
