| March 2015 after wiring |
This bonsai tree is Cornus mas (Dogwood) collected back in 2012 during trip with my friends in Hungarian woods. It was doing fine since beginning and it is very vigorous. During last seasons it was left to thicken major branches. There was few minor wiring sessions just to direct shots into correct positions.
But first decent wiring was done during last weekend. Leaves are just about to leaf out so it was right time. Tree is sitting in inorganic substrate mix of zeolite and Teramol. On few pictures you can see how wild it can grow if left unrestricted. I think, decent crown can be built in few more growing seasons.
I like natural dead wood features of the trunk. No decent comparison picture was done but tree is quite big, you can imagine if you see that one year shoot on one of the pictures is almost 2 cm thick.
