This is a Kishu Juniper I bought last year, it was Japanese import form 1992. It looked like this in 1992:

Kishu juniper Juniperusbunjin1992B

Kishu juniper Juniperusbunjin1992

Kishu juniper Juniperusbunjin1992C


In 2008 I bought it from someone who was leaving the country, and couldn't keep the tree. I cleaned the tree at the end of 2008. And at that time I had the opportunity to do a workshop with Mario Komsta. I did not hesitate and brought this tree to the workshop.

Before:

Kishu juniper Juniperus12-11-20081

And with some help of Mario it has become one of my favourite trees in my collection. After a first restyling together with Mario:

Last weekend we worked on this tree again, now it looks like this...

Kishu juniper MarioKomstaworkshop005

I like the way this tree is styled, I will not change much on it, except the pot. As you can see on these pictures above, I have this Erwin Grezsinsky pot which is a possibilty. But I am still looking around for more options. So if you have some suggestions or virtuals with a new pot on it...

Here are some other pictures with the tree as it is today...

Different camera-angle...

And some options I have chosen myself..

Kishu juniper Juniper

Kishu juniper Juniper2

Kishu juniper Juniper3

Kishu juniper Juniper4

Kishu juniper Juniper5

Kishu juniper Juniper6

Untill now I have a preference for the pots on the 4th and last picture.
I would appreciate any help for choosing the right pot for this tree....

Kind regards from Belgium,
Hans

Hello Salva,

I did not see him do any magic tricks, but he sure knows how to work on trees, and he is a master in bonsai techniques...
He is without doubt one of my favourite bonsai teachers...

cram wrote:did you think to cut it or make a jin with it?

I did... about both branches. But I am sure it would loose its balance if I removed one of them.
But I like this tree how it looks now, so cutting off branches is out of the question anyway...

Hans

Because of the femininity of the tree, I see it in pot #4. The rivet pot suits a more masculine tree. If you can't find a pot, I have one Wink

Not that I know anything (well not as much as 99% of the people on here) but I think that pot number one goes best, The tree stunning as is has a rustic look to it. Just cant seem to picture it with a pot that well simply looks new.

Well I'm not sure it's a matter of how much anyone knows, it all comes down to individual opinion in the end. But for me the shape of the first branch reflects back on the angular shape of the trunk, providing counterpoint to its rhythm. It tickles my brain in a good way to see it :-)

My favorite is the first, but the third and fourth are pretty too.

Beautiful tree!

Thanks for your opinions. It's always hard to make a decision in what kind of pot to use with a tree...

Think I will go for this Peter Krebs pot on the 4th virtual. I contacted Peter for the size, and I think the size of this pot will fit the tree perfectly. At least, I hope it will fit the tree perfectly. Otherwise I got one nice Peter Krebs pot for sale... Laughing

Kind regards,
Hans

What a beautiful tree, but . . . I too would rather see that lowest, right hand branch gone. Not even a jin. There's a bit too much foliage for a literati.

Please, whatever you do, don`t remove the right hand branch it gives the tree so much movement and tension.
Beautiful tree.

Well, I have made my choice and went for pot nr. 4, a pot by Peter Krebs...

Kishu juniper Juniperusbunjin29-11-2009003A

Kishu juniper SchaalJuniperus1

I think it is a good combination, much more classic than the previous pot. I like it a lot, and if all goes well, this tree will be exhibited at our Eda Uchi Kai club show in february 2010.

Kind regards,
Hans

PS: Thanks to Mr Krebs for helping me choosing the right pot...
