nice_years_upbeat

The first highlight of the bonsai-year is the journey  to noelanders trophy in belgium with my companiens.

Our annual getaway was a real fun.
Not only the experience of the terrific exhibition and traders area, but we had the great honor as well
to enjoy the gala-dinner with no one less than Walter Pall!
He is such an amusing colloquist with a sack full of anecdotes.
'Always great to be in his company ....

Winter Sale 2016

This winter I sold two trees.
And again it is very gratifying, that two very good bonsai-companions bought the trees.
I have often been asked why I am selling all those trees.
Well, the answer is qiute simple: I have got too many trees.
I mean too many to care for, since they are standing remotely from my flat.
I prefer to have a small amount of trees but different species and among them just my favorites.
A third linden (the five-trunker) is on sale this winter as well.
If this tree will not be sold soon, I will re-edit the design and keep it.
Let us see ...



And this one is on sale ... :

Tilia_2 update

And here an update as well.

- The tree looks almost overloaded by the amount of twigs.
- I have rarely seen such a number of buds on a tree .
- Sorry, in real life the tree is an absolut stunner.
- Of course there must be done some selectiv cuttings of branches and new shoots
- I think it was the right decision to cut away the lower branches

Ulmus_1 update


Well, the ramification is much better now.
I just cut back the longest shoots wich were standing out too long of the silhoutte.



Tilia_6 update

The mountain-linden after styling.




 

- The ramification has to be developed.
- The aim was until now to thicken the branches
  and in this regard I am absolutely satisfied with the esults so far.
- This  Linden will again be offered on a selling-platform this winter.
  I simply have got too much trees ... ;-)

Tilia_7 update

Here the update of my Linden number seven.
I clearly can remember the time I digged the tree.
It was in spring 2012:
On the ground, near the trunk there laid a radient white lower jaw of a deer.
The smell in the air was like a mixture of the forest itself and the humble flavor
of a faylike little flower.
The light was a kind of reddish-tender glowing.
The climate had a feeling of a freshnes, that the winter left behind while fleeing northbound.
I was standing right in the middle of paradise that day ...
