shimpaku grafted on California juniper
this tree was grafted in 1995 by Akio Kondo, my senior. He put 2 grafted on it. I and my student styled it 8 years ago. We cut one graft off and use only one. i took it back home and finished it up during Intensive Class.
Akio Sempai(senior) came back in August 2009. he was pleased to see it. he spend a day detailing it.
I and the owner did some touch up and show it this year in January. this is the picture from the show
The picture was taken by Eric Schrader.

Howzit Boon,
Once again, A beautiful example of work you all do over there. I hope that one day I can make it over to one of your classes or maybe when you and your family come to Maui for a vacation you can give a class at our bonsai club. (I could only wish!!)

Re: shimpaku grafted on California juniper
Well my friend, your always welcome to come back and visit us. The hotel rates are good.... flights should be O.K. And if all else fails, you can use the dog house that Jay was going to use when he comes to Maui too!!

Re: shimpaku grafted on California juniper
Nice tree Boon. The lack of nebari always bothers me a bit on the driftwood junipers - makes them look less stable but the rest is great.
Did you mean that one grafted branch made all the foliage? I'd like to see a schematic of where the graft was and the branches from it.
I have a juniper where I grafted one branch lower on its trunk and that one branch is now the whole canopy of the tree.

Great tree Boon. Have I seen this before? Perhaps it could do with extending the foliage down on the lef..... . Only kidding . I like the way it flares out as it leaves the soil. Unique and vulnerable.

easy solution- if you have them get rid of them. if you do not have one, do not acquire one.
your statement indicates that you do not understand driftwood bonsai.
i'd love to see some picture of you tree with good nebari.

yes, one approach graft. i will take a picture of the grafted spot when i go there next time.
pls post the pic of your grafted one.

i love our climate. but summer is a little bit too cold here.peter keane wrote:Yours is the perfect climate for bud-grafting junipers...sigh
this one is approach graft with 3 year old rooted cutting. (Kamiya, our teacher, technique) i think it is done in late spring or early summer.
i use the new technique that published in bonsai focus. success rate is higher than bud graft.

Boon...et al,
I am not a subscriber to bonsaifocus..was at one time. Can you or someone as conveniently as possible explain? Is this a veneer graft, standard aproach graft......etc..?
Thank you,
Neil

Hi Boon
I've been meaning to email you about your approach graft technique. I believe I observed an example of it while on my last visit with you. But, if Bonsai Focus is going to publish it soon, I'll wait:)

Neil and Peter,
the article is in bonsai focus lat year. i can check when i get back home last week. you need power tool to make grove wide and deep enough to sink the whole branch(after shaving both side with sharp knife) in to the groove. then tie with non strech tape. it will fuse within 1 -2 years.

grafted shimpaku updated
we worked on it again last week. cleaning old needles and thinning. you can see that it had a lot of runners. runners is the sign that the tree is strong.
if it is not thinned, light and air will not get into the interior. interior buds will die in a few years.
if it is thinned too much, the tree will get weak.
before work
after
it is also important to have taper on the branches.
