QUERCUS SUBER

Cork oak, landscape collected about 20 years ago, Height including pot about 28 inches.

Love the bark, it really shows the age. Great tree!!

Howzit Mike,

What a very interesting bonsai. Would love to see this again in a few years from now. Keep us posted.

A Hui Hou,

Hi Mike,

Is this how the tree looks after 20years collecting or when it was freshly collected?
If i look at my subers, the growth on your suber has the growth from 1 year...

Kind regards
David

Mike, I like the old bark on this tree.

Also, I was looking through "Bonsai Today" issue 106 and saw a Penjing (Buxus m., Kingsville) on rock, by Mike Page. First Place in the 'Bonsai Today Awards', penjing, saikei, or forest planting category. Is that you? Nice planting!

The three branches are what is left of growth from the past year or 2. Restyling to bunjin.

That is me!
I can't believe I've misplaced my #106. Maybe I put it in a safe place so I wouldn't lose it.

Hi Mike,
How does it look before the restyling?
