Bonsai Inspiration! These Inspire Me, Anyone Else?

[mamfle]

Wow. They are truly amazing and inspirational. I have idea’s bouncing all over the place for the red Acer seeds that arrived today. I am thinking of a landscape but hey they are only seeds at the moment I have years before they can become anything real

[ynot]

Another couple of images that just might make an impression:

This forest is planted on a slab that is 6 meters long.

In the next photos: With the exception of the slab it sits on, Everything you see that is NOT a plant was handcrafted by the artist.

And now, Enjoy a trip to the Shire in three seasons Winter, Spring, and Late Summer:

These guys found a few flaws to pick at in this group, Any guesses?

ynot

[tarian]

waw the beech forest looks awsem but abit out of my reach but I have an amazing larch from yami pic shortley

when I found it was like the tree that they find in karate kid 3

[constantstaticx3]

wow that is one large forest. If it were mine, I wouldn't make a forest at all I would make a bunch of individual trees, they have very impressive trunks.

It looks like someone didn't like the arrangment of roots on one of them. I cant tell for sure but it looks like the roots were crossing over.

I think I would add some figurines or create a small village so the trees look even more massive, right now it could be any size depending on how you look at it. I like the dog laying in the middle, seems like they have a good sense of humor. Wish I could read germen I would like to know what they are saying.

yea I tried that on my translater thats on my comp and the problem with that and the translater you gave me is that german doesn't translate the same in English so it becomes very confusing. I have the same problem with spanish. Thanks for the try anyway.

Wow thanks ynot you deliver again . I'm only on the first link but I'm reading them word for word. Your right, Graham Potterdoes amazing work. I like how he says he will have to settle for this look for now whn he has taken an overgrown shrub, with what looks like to me no potential at all, and turns it into an amazing bonsai! Everytime I see someone turn a shrub like that into a bonsai it makes me look twice at every tree and shrub I see a Home Depot.

Thanks again .

Yeah, it gives me mixed emotions that vary from wanting to kick all my trees off of the patio while muttering :"I will never be able to see like that!"
To staggering feelings of awe that require both hands to pick my jaw up off of the desk...And all sorts of combinations thereof...

Everytime I see someone turn a shrub like that into a bonsai it makes me look twice at every tree and shrub I see a Home Depot.

LOL, Yep and driving around town, and the trees in the yard, The park, Next door, The hedges inbetween, etc....

This is a great thread - been watching it for awhile now. Amazing pics. Well done.

[ynot]

This is a great thread - been watching it for awhile now. Amazing pics. Well done.

Thanks ,

Oh and by the way...There's more .

READ THIS ENTIRE POST PLEASE

I promise you that this tree has come too far and been through too much to be skimmed over as though it were just another tree on your street.

I have posted this on this site before but it was buried long ago, So...

Training started on this Japanese White Pine in 1625, That's over 380 years old.

It is about five feet high and four feet wide with a trunk caliper of ten inches.

In 1976 it was donated by Masaru Yamaki as part of Japans Bicentennial Gift to the American people.

Mr. Yamakis family had run a commercial bonsai nursery for generations in Japan and this tree is still the oldest bonsai in the Japanese Bonsai Collection at the National Bonsai & Penjing Museum in Washington DC.

[img]https://img172.imageshack.us/img172/7/yamakipinevp1.jpg[/img]

One other thing you may find notable is that this tree survived being 3 kilometers [under 2 miles] away from the detonation at 8:15 in the morning of August 6, 1945.

BTW, Detonation refers to the atomic bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima, Japan.

You read that right, After all of this: Masaru Yamaki gave his most treasured tree to our country as a birthday present.

Here is an interesting story about his grandsons coming to America to see the tree for the first time.
[They were not born yet when it was given to us by their grandfather.]

It is a moving story to say the least.

Enjoy
ynot

[constantstaticx3]

I am glad your enjoying this thread Very Happy Cool Very Happy [Often I am not entirely sure anybody looks at this...Laughing

Well you can always count on atleast one person looking at it...me .

Yeah, it gives me mixed emotions that vary from wanting to kick all my trees off of the patio while muttering :"I will never be able to see like that!"
To staggering feelings of awe that require both hands to pick my jaw up off of the desk...And all sorts of combinations thereof... Very Happy

I have the exact same feelings. I look at those trees before he begins and think...is he crazy those are useless , then I am in awe of what he does with them.

As for the AMAZING white pine from Japan, I found that tree in my research a long time ago. There was a whole article on it. What a gift from Mr. Yamaki. As I sit here and type this, I am looking at the tree below and if you scroll up a little so the pot is hidden then the tree looks like a MONSTER, beautiful ramification. Try it .

[Gnome]

Ynot,

Certainly an impressive tree and an amazing story as well. I am watching "The last Samurai" as I type this. I am not usually one to dwell on the philosophical nature of bonsai but occasionally something just cuts through my stubbornness and brings home that in the right hands bonsai can be more than just a tree in a pot.

Thanks for keeping this thread going.

I do know what you mean Gnome, In this case it just happened to be a tree that was the gift that exemplified a wonderful example of a human being being giving.....

Thanks for keeping this thread going.

That's mostly Toms fault, He keeps flogging me on .. So I dig deeper.

On Occasion I think of things that I thought I had already posted to this thread...[Some of you have seen this before as I know I have posted this here previously but again...It is long buried.]

Exhibit A:

Let Doug Philips inspire you with his full on take no prisoners approach to [url=https://www.dugzbonsai.com/olivehead.htm]Olive bonsai.[/url] At the bottom of that page, 'Take the tour'.

For those of you that have not done much pruning: Fasten your seatbelt, This is your only warning. .

Notice Dougs use of multiple chops, & Rootpruning in the development of these trees. Peek at his soil and grow boxes as well.


Next, [url=https://www.dugzbonsai.com/tridenttrunk.htm]Check out the Trident Maple Fusing Projects,[/url] Individual tree tours are at the bottom of the page.

Hope you enjoy these .

You were right about the olive tree It always amazes me to see how really any tree can recover from such a harsh pruning, or in this case, *chainsawing*

[ynot]

:?::shock:

Not even close Joe.

It's entirely inaccurate to say 'really any tree' can survive this at all...

How you can extrapolate what happened to this tree into a huge general statement like that is beyond me.

The sizes are listed for some of these, Keep in mind that Bonsai are measured from the soil up.

EDIT:I will reply to Joes following post in the edit below- I am not going to take five posts to explain this though.[img]https://www.mysmilie.de/english/green/smilies/angry/3/img/010.gif[/img]

Not this specific example, meaning, trees just seem to take any opportunity they can to survive.

This specific example is what you referenced. This makes no sense whatsoever.... I give up.[img]https://www.mysmilie.de/english/green/smilies/aliens/img/020.gif[/img]

Take, for example, when people prune back a tree so it doesn't lean over their property, power lines, ex. sometimes, half of the branches, or all are cut, and the tree survives.

That's simply not relevant to the specific procedure about which you stated "really any tree can recover from" Which I corrected.

I give up.

Let me just say I think that olive tree recovery was amazing. I didn't know it could take a chopping like that. guess you learn something new everday . We'll just leave it at that.

[constantstaticx3]

Thanks for all the links once again you deliver . I have to say in the first link the windswept pine really catches my attention, it is a very convincing scene to me. I'm no sure if the pic was streched or not be is seems like a very long low tree I love it .

You certainly did buy yourself some time, I'm only on the fourth link and I will have to resume my viewing tommorow, its time for bed, long week.

Thanks again .

This is the never ending post!!! . I have my internet back now so I'll be checking these out. Looks like a few days worth .

Suthin Sukosolvisit: A bonsai artist for nearly forty years and a renown teacher, Inspiring stuff indeed.

Though the progression photos are sporadic, His results are undeniable . The ramification on the maples is fantastic IMO.

See some progressions in his [url=https://www.royalbonsaigarden.com/gallery.htm]gallery[/url].

Excellent work from Paul Pikel:

He does a great job documenting and explaining the process along the way.

There is much to be learned here .

IE: That is... If your interested in seeing how this 25 YO Chinese Elm:
[img]https://www.orlandobonsai.com/ch-elm1_small.JPG[/img]

Is transformed from this...
[img]https://www.orlandobonsai.com/Ch-elm-Jan%202002_small.JPG[/img]

To this, In less than five years ....
[img]https://www.orlandobonsai.com/IMG_6382_small.JPG[/img]

I will give you another example to further whet your appetite.

Give Paul three years & a Ficus Salicifolia {That has potential , Also note that he lives in Florida so this tree loves his climate.}

...And it goes from this:

[img]https://www.orlandobonsai.com/Salicifolia_small1.JPG[/img]

To this:

[img]https://www.orlandobonsai.com/IMG_6385_small.JPG[/img]

By the way: This tree is only 5" high from the soil to the apex , Just a bit bigger than a CD. It is literally barely bigger than it appears in the picture.

He works on some bigger stock also...

To see more [15 trees w/ progression photos] click on the top link [url=https://www.geocities.com/pauliepi/index.html]here.[/url] [No direct link is available for some reason.]

Do check out his 'New Projects' section of his website also.

Enjoy .

Thanks, once again, for the great pics .

I just wanted to point out that in the gallery of Suthin Sukosolvisit, the trident #2 has what I would call the definition of a scrifice branch, I have seen no other picture that clearly illustrates what a sacrifice branch really looks like.

Thank you very much TT, I hope you have continued to stop down the road on occasion to visit Harry & Petra.

If you happen to like flowering trees...And massive ones at that !

The Satsuki Festival 2006 exhibition:

This takes place in early June, Here are some comments from the original poster & photographer who was kind enough to allow me to repost this here.

The Satsuki Festival 2006 exhibition hosted by one of Belgiums’ major bonsai nurseries: Marc Bauwens’ Bonsai Nursery in Dilbeek.

Traditionally, the trees were absolute world class specimens with several brand new colour varieties getting their world premiere on this illustrious stage;

Enjoy the pics (which aren't that good and for which I appologise)
and dream on;

He is one of those inspiring bonsai brethren I am happy to know [And on occasion -be in awe] of even though I disagree with his stated opinion of the photography

~ Thanks Michel.

...Dream on indeed

Wow, thanks a lot ynot those are great. Seeing so many pictures of Satsukis like these has inspired me to try my hand at one. This thread really is inspiring .
