Recently dug this tree Euonymus europaeus (european spindle tree)

I dug this one up a couple of days ago with the help of my son.
What ya think?

Peter

Well I think it's your type of tree Peter!
Good find

Regards Chris

the deep wood. you need to handle them. If not they damage the furniture in your home.
You have very beautiful Parrot.

What you mean with my type of tree Chris?
Yeah I admit I like weird things hehe That probably why I like you Chris

Thank you tap pi lu, I know I have too treat the wood for woodworm, its not inside my house.
The parrot yes is my kids, would like too have a real one

Peter

Hi Peter

I would look for a shohin or chuhin, and try my best to loose the stick.

Kind regards Yvonne

hi Peter,

very unique tree, you have the option to create a diffrent bonsai - not the standard ones

what is the treatment your'e going to do for the wood worms ? can you please specify ?

I am still looking in to that, I will leave the tree alone at this moment, let it recover from collecting.

Yvonne, shohin is not an option I think, I will show you what my plans are on a later time.

Peter

Hi Peter

Look forward.....

Kind regards Yvonne

Yvonne also, the stick migt be bigger as you think actually its not that straight at all, the deadwood gives it some nice movement, and in the top there is also a gentle curve.
But thats always the trouble with pictures, they are only 2D so everything becomes flat.
I hope we can meet again soon, I will show you the real deal.

Peter

BTW did you see the straight pine in bonsai focus ( the last issue)

I think it has the potential to be a very unique bonsai.

Maybe it could look like this with leaves in the future?



And if in Flower it could look stunning.



Good luck with it.

Thank you for the great virts Rob.

Kind regards
Peter

Hi Peter

Though you have explained about a similar idea to me the last time we discussed this spindle, I think it is only fair to say, that Rob really nailed how your spindle should be styled - and on top of that, the deadwood/hollow is fully visible in Robs' version. The choise of pot is spot on.

@ Rob: well done. That virt really took me by surprise... that design is pure wabi sabi ;-)

regards to both of you

Thank you very much Dorothy,

the cascade was already in my mind aswell, after seeing the last bonsaifocus, where a tree was styled like that( it was a pine though)

Loke I agree, but I have time no styling for at least a year my friend.

Peter

The buds are pushing now, I really hope it will make it.

BTW Yvonne, the cascade was what I wanted too show you, take a look at the virt.

Peter

Hi Peter

As you said, was the stick not completely strait, but had a nice gently curve. This is very nice, and all the virts are worth considering....I am sure the tree will be very interesting to work with in the future. A good find
How fat is the base?.

Kind regards Yvonne

I have too measure it Yvonne, but the tree is at my wifes place in the greenhouse, its quiet fat and hollow.

Peter

Forgot too measure it damn, well its buds are moving slowly and now we get some cold nights below 0C

Peter

I want too thank all who contributet in this topic, especially Rob and Dorothy for theyre very nice virts (for a tree almost nobody likes in its currant form) and for giving me permition too use the virts elsewhere.

Peter

Some pics from above to show you, that its not completly straight

Peter

Hi Peter

It even have a nice taper. Not bad. I hope the tree will become a nice bonsai of yours, in the future.

Kind regards Yvonne
