I Dig Trees

San Jose Juniper, semi cascade, first styling. Been growing and collecting spiders for a few years. Branches got long and leggy so a total restart was in order. Kept the one good branch and bent it almost 180 to mimic the trunk movement. The foliage in the apex will hopefully develop from the lowest upper branch, otherwise it gets jinned and the apex will be grown from the main branch.

Before and after procumbens juniper from my workshop with Peter Tea a couple weeks ago. For a $15 nursery tree, I am stoked with the potential here and excited to watch it grow.

Santa Cruz Bonsai Kai monthly meeting, a former member, Lois Ifland, sold off her collection. I think I crushed it with this giant mica pot score!

Found some incredible natural shari on a couple manzanita
