Juniperus chinensis "Dancer"

Hi all friends.

The owner of the tree is my friend.
First styling I realized in February 2007. In subsequent years was gradually reduced inappropriate branches.
Today I realized a complete service.

A terrific job, Pavel. The tree now has an elegance that was missing in 2007 when it was so much fuller.

Quick question: People use a range of substances to get the shine on the bark. What did you use on this one?

Beautiful tree! I like the way you planted it slightly mounded. Great pot selection. I am in awe of your level of technique. I really like your portraits with your trees. You must be proud. Regards, Todd

re : ALL - Thank you all for very nice coment. I am very pleased.

re: Fiona - hi, the treatment of the tree bark using pure paraffin (mineral) oil (Juiniper and Yew). Almond oil will last the longest, but not always available.

Pavel

Again a great transformation
Your friend get a real good bonsai-collection
Greetings Ed

I think you should change the pot for a smaller one.

Hi Pavel,
Thank you for posting.
Your passion, craft and good eye for a balanced tree is evident for all who view your trees. Even in 2D they stand out.

Personally, I do not like the appearance created by using "oil" on the live vein. I don't think it needs it.
Just as I would not like to see a high gloss on the pot, the glossy look detracts a little form my appreciation of the tree.

re: Ed - thanks for nnice coment. Yes, a friend will have a very interesting collection. And another very interesting trees just waiting for the first styling.

re: Nik - Yes, the new dish will be less. Or rather more subtle, elegant. The current is just a job.

re: Jeremy - thank you for nice copliment . Treatment bark oil as the winter especially after a positive. Just to destroy embryos pests. Already for two to three hours is a paraffin oil dull. Lasts about a month.

Hi Pavel,
Thank you for your reply.
Heath not cosmetic reasons makes sense.
I usually remove the outer bark on junipers with a brush until it shows red and hope to revel any grubs / bugs.

Using the oil, is it they cannot get enough air and so come out from hiding? Does the oil kill them?
I have a rule, any bug that moves slowly on my tree is in danger. All the rest are welcome.

As they at Macy d,s " I,M LOVING IT" great work as usual Pavel.

What a beautiful tree that has become! Again the magic of Pavel.

Alex and Anttal - thanks, I appreciate your positive comments.

Jeremy - thanks for reply. Unfortunately in some parts of the brush reach. And in this period to resolve oil.
