Hwa Fong 2011 (Taiwan National Bonsai Style Exhibition and Competition)

Stunning trees!

Sand Pear

Vitex negudo

The trees are amazing. Asian trees always seem to be very expressive to me. Does anyone know what type of soil mix is used in Asia?

Dave,

Soil composition depends on the kind of tree you are growing. In Taiwan, there is no standard soil.

Warm regards,

Jose Luis

Bougainvillea glabra

A beautiful Taiwan Juniper

Bougainvillea glabra

great juniper but the angle is slightly wrong - it looks like it is falling over as the pads are all tilted rather than level underneath. But still a briliant tree, i love it

Eugenia uniflora (pitanga)

Myrciaria cauliflora (Jaboticaba)

Sunip,

Taiwanese bonsai has special character. They have developed their own style and are always looking for ways to evolve and better their styling skills. I will plan to share more insights in the future.

Warm regards,
