I was hoping someone would put in a better specimen, but in the hopes of keeping this going, here’s one of mine, that got wrecked by winds and a couple of days this year. It was so weak, that I decided to leave it alone in the pot instead of trying to reposition it. It’s come back pretty good, but won’t get messed with for a while. Love the color though!

The bonsai below me is someone’s oldest tree.

This one is my next project. It’s going to be a challenge. I been religiously studying all The videos on Mirai archives.


The juniper has a live vain running around The wood and i believe it’s a leterati style bonsai

What is the tree below?

It’s a juniper procumbens nana.

@Mr.Ferntastic once you post picture of your tree that supposed to be Rocky Mountain Juniper set by @GarryFrey you need to chose the ‘bonsai below me’ yourself. That is what @Jens was asking for. So an owner of requested tree type will post pic with a bit ab it.
Did you understand the rules of this tread? :wink:

Sorry about that… I just got excited to post after signing up to the forum lol

The tree below me is a red wood


This is my Dawn Redwood. It was grown in California and it’s been in development with me for about 18 months. The pot has some Chinese writing on it that I’m trying to get translated if anyone knows anything about that.

Sweet looking tree! It has a really rustic and naturally old look to it.

The bonsai below me is a literati pine

Hope this is not too much cheating but seriously considering styling this as a literati (though the trunk might have a tad too much girth)


The bonsai below me is a Khaki.

In a khaki John Pitt pot. A quercus fageniae (think that is spelt wrong). Portugese Oak, which kept falling over in its plastic collection pot and damaging the rather lovely bark. The ever green leaves do tend to go brown khaki to at the end of the winter, so double khaki!

The bonsai below (following the colour idea) is red.
