Cool! So Israel is on the map, concerning the art of bonsai.

Thank you for the compliment, and you Walter have a very important part in the learning process in Israel.

Very nice (yafe)

It is nice to see that the art of bonsai is growing in countries like Israel.
I am from Cyprus, doing bonsai for about 9 years and i just managed to find a few more enthusiast like me...
It is not easy to form a club or organize demonstrations; i know it personally because i organised 2 events in the past with Peter Chan and Dan Barton as invited guests.

Well done

What was the occasion?
What kind of a tree is it? Yamadori?
I'm waiting to see what it looks like in a bonsai pot.
Mazal tov.

Beautifull world class tree You've made. Great job.

HI STAVAROS

Israel now has two bonsai clubs, one in the south and one in the center of the country, soon
According to rumor, a third club in Jerusalem will be established. So I can say that there is greater awareness to the bonsai art in recent years. I can say that the people in Israel want to learn very much more and more the art of bonsai.

The occasion was the annual display at the Jerusalem Botanical Gardens,There are other pictures from the annual display.Offer Greenwald lecture about "art and bonsai", a subject I was talking about last year at the Jerusalem Botanical Gardens. and the tree is actually urban Ymaduri ., the Juniper belongs to a group of junipers, which I took on last year. One of this group was designed at KoB Progressive Styling Contest 2009 and won first place in the category of Collected Stock Entries .

The progression series is fascinating. However, you mentioned that you can't collect native junipers in Israel. Why is that? I understand there are several native species. Are they all unsuitable for bonsai?

Juniper cedars (Juniperus oxycedrus) - This species may be a bush or tree, he does not sing it in fall and two home. Evident through the thin white wires on the upper part of the leaf, fruit juniper is a circular cone made with ripening red. Called juniper is used as a spice in English in France.

Juniper Ram (Juniperus excelsa) - This species is an evergreen coniferous. Appearance is of a pyramid structure, its leaves squamous arranged in pairs. High juniper grows only on Mount Hermon in Israel reached a height of 30 meters.

HI Iris
We can not collect from nature junipers , because the two areas are defined as a nature reserve.
Very dangerous to walk on Mount Hermon and look for junipers , there is a fire area and mines. also There are very few junipers that grow in natural .

Thank you very much. Truly this is exemplary work by a bonsai master

Awesome styling techniques. Trees look good.

I also notice that both these junipers look as if they suffer from spider mite infestations. They do not look healthy to me. Is this a Israel thing for junipers to look like. The before photo shows much more lush foliage and even coloration.
