Hi Jun,

Belgium is a cold country Anyway, the trees look very very healthy with this fertilizing program.

Some wonderful trees there. The Eleagnus looks like Mario Komsta's?

Fantastic collection and thanks for posting the pics for us. I am curious as to what time of year you were there when the was such a heavy feeding routine going on. I went to Japan once in the early autumn and noticed a similar pattern of feeding.
With thanks from Craig

forgive my ignorance. what do you use to cover the fertilizers? I have a problem with squirrels stealing my fertilizers.

Hi all,

Craig: I was there two weeks ago and was the last time to change fertilizer this year.

Will: The eleagnus was from Mario Komsta, yes ! Good eye

Luc: It´s fertilizer baskets , you can found them in any bonsai shop.

Thanks for that info
Craig

Good collections of tree, thank for sharing.

MMaruje, you have a very nice collection of trees. Many look like they were imported. Many are yamadori; did you collect them? Your benches look very neat and sturdy. Great set up! How long have you been doing bonsai?
Salut, Todd

Hi Todd,

The collection is not mine... Is from a very friend of mine and bonsai professional, JP Polmans. He lives in Belgium and is a bonsai professional for more than 10 years.

Some trees are really importante masterpieces that are imported from Japan, other ones are european yamadori....

Lovely garden and great trees. Wow! I have rarely seen a Japanese Maple with such massive trunk!! At first glance I thought it was a Trident. Do you know if this was collected or grown in the ground for 3 centuries??

wow verry tree's !
Might i ask where he lives ?
I also live in belgium and if it close by i might visit him once. ( with permission ofcourse )

I live in Limburg, Zonhoven.

Regards,
peter.

EDIT: i googled and see that he lives in 'Diepenbeek'
That isn't that far away from me
I might send him an email in the future to visit him once. maybe do a workshop ..

Mach: The tree comes from Taisho-En , I think is the biggest maple that I ever saw
