Tree of the year 2010 in Czech

With permissoin of Olda Kašpar, I´d like to introduce to You this tree, which has become the Tree of the year 2010 in Czech Republic. It´s Pinus mugo from high mountains. To get the idea, the cascade is 85cm tall. You can see two years progress till putting it to sleep for winter 2010/2011, on the images.
The author and owner of the tree is Olda Kašpar

Wow. What a tree Milan. This is true inspiration and thanks for posting.

Great tree, Thanks for reminding me.

Although I can't help but wonder about a different front.

This tree is amazing. I live the "wiggle" in the trunk!
Salut, Todd

Hi Rob, Olda changed the front about some degrees to left. I think it´s pics with first snow on table.

Milan,

Nice tree. Like Rob stated and judging by the first picture, I would have chosen an alternative front. So much beauty is hidden by the needles....

Anyhow, great tree!!!

Kind regards,

Jose Luis

...I have some photos from exhibition.
I've shot and I did not know the front apartment elsewhere...

Hi Milan, very good. That is a fijne specimen.

PS Vaclaw and Lukas did great jobs respectively in Mexico. Lukas even speaks Spanish. Alas no photos from me as my camera enountered a "problem" during my demo.

Im not excited from this tree ... it is too much free formed and crown is bigger ....? ratio crown to trunk?

I am excited even without calculator :-)

Hi all

Olda tree is very beautiful.
But I think more exposed side is the opposite. From the other side has a natural depth of the tree, trunk and branches of the movement. Before the show we the owner (Olda Kašpar)) talked about it. I think that was prepared by the original owner, Mr. Marcinko. Distribution of the tree is beautiful to see the first photo and the photo Eric, side view.

tom benda : I have not tree calculator I judge from my drunked eyes

Tree is very nice but it needs some care. IMHO tree looks like a few years unkempt bonsai tree...

Nice garden !

This tree deserved the price without any doubts, congratulations It is not a simple-designed bonsai and almost each bonsai folk prefered another front while discussing the overall design, but I think that this complexity and "free form" are the best caracteristics of this very nice piece of tree.

Thanks, Rob, it was a pleasure to meet you and see your work again! I´m sorry about your camera "problems" and all your photos lost - I didn´t see any other pictures from the event, so here comes my report https://ibonsaiclub.forumotion.com/bonsai-f1/felab-2010-international-bonsai-congress-merida-mexico-t5025.htm . . I would be very grateful if you could add your opinions & observations as well.

Lots of curves and details were prepared by the original owner, Mr. Juraj Marcinko.
But without any thinking about a front. Just well preparing great pre-material, not bonsai.
Waiting for its time to come. (Similar as Othmar Auer school.)
The tree was even planted in different possition, almost lying.
When Juraj saw this tree, he said: "If I knew, what You create out of this material, I would never sell it."
Noone wanted that material for many years, until Olda came and found the tree of the year in it :-)

Those were some very inspiring pictures. I love seeing the big trees turn into something beautiful.
