Maros Bonsai Blog: collected tree

Showing posts with label collected tree. Show all posts

This maple tree was collected from the wild a few years ago and was sitting and waiting until there was the right time. It was regularly pruned back and after new growth emerged unnecessary stuff was removed. There is a big scar on the trunk since it was originally growing next to the wired fence which damaged the bark significantly. Now a few days ago I worked scars with Dremel and wired branches and I can wait for new foliage.

CARPINUS BETULUS "RUSNAK" in new pot

Tree in a new pot by Hugo Studeník since spring. Doing fine so far.

Carpinus betulus "The Yossarian"

Spring cleaning and some editing of the top of the crown was done in recent days. Foliage is starting to emerge, I hope with spring happier days are coming.

Fraxinus ornus "Cliffhanger" 10 years anniversary

This Ash tree was collected ten years ago from the edge of the quarry. I was fixed with rope to a bigger tree when collecting it. There were about 30 meters of nothing below the tree, hence the name. Quite an experience. I saved his life. We are brothers since then. Maybe he will save mine once.

Pot by Pravoslav Dorda. The tree was too dense so it was partially defoliated at the top of the crown and cut back.

Carpinus betulus "Gemini" with fresh foliage

The tree responded well after repotting it tree is pushing a lot of growth. A few weeks from now it must be heavily thinned, especially at the top of the now dominant tree. Since a few weeks I'm using new editing program for photos called Zoner Photo Studio and I'm starting to be familiar with it. It gives me much more options to edit pictures than previously used (free) Picasa. I will write more about it later.

Horizontal root at the front sticking to the right will go soon. I was still thinking about somehow incorporating it into the design but it seems obvious it has no future.
