This Austrian Pine is collected from our nursery. Please notice the great movement in the trunk line and health of this tree. The trunk exhibits a slight bulge where multiple branches had emerged from whorl. There is opportunity the carve this area to return the taper as there are pruned branches on the back to help create convincing jins and sharis. This pine is an aggressive grower and will offer you more buds each Spring than you can possibly use. I suspect you already see a great tree in this healthy pre-bonsai. $400 plus packing and shipping. Close-up of the trunk. Close-up of the foliage. Notice the extensive back budding and the shortness of needles on the new growth that can be accomplished with proper candle pruning.

Another excellent Austrian Pine from the nursery. Very trunky and healthy with several great bonsai hidden inside. The trunk line splits just above the reverse taper which isn't an issue. Select your trunk line and eliminate the other, and correct the taper with deadwood. There will be more of these next year as well. $450 plus shipping and packing. Close-up of the base and trunk. Shot from above, you can see the tremendous number of buds and the very small needles of this years growth due to correct candle pruning.

As I understand the story, this Pitch Pine, Pinus virginianna, was collected in Nova Scotia and ended up being a demonstration tree at a Yama Ki event. Like so many raffle trees, for many reasons, it slowly feel into disrepair and was resurrected by Bernie Gastrich. I acquired the tree from Bernie and worked it with Marco in a workshop. Repotted this Spring with a new aspect this amazingly trunky tree has found new life. Viewing it would lead one to believe it's living on one live vein but repotting it proved roots all around the buttress. It's floppy with the wire removed but the back budding this Spring was very impressing. Ready for reduction and carving, this old tree is a real project for any artist, and could be an amazing bonsai. SOLD, More postings soon. A close up of the trunk with it's very interesting hollow. A view from the back shows the carving project still left from the original cut and dig. A truly amazing one branch tree find with new healthy growth.

This Bald Cypress was collected in Louisiana and sold to me by John Green at Green Thumb Bonsai. I've worked it for 5 years with the help of Guy Guidry, Jack Hoover and Nick Lenz. The diminutive growth and lack of wire reflects that all efforts are currently directed towards the creation of taper. Healthy and happy and taper in the making. Notice the fat sacrifice branch to the right. This tree is well acclimated to the North and a good candidate for a northern artist. Guy saw this as a flat top and drew a sketch which I'll post when I find it. $750 plus packing and shipping. The drawing will be included if found. I know it's safely tucked away somewhere! Close-up of the base. Great flutes and a simple shari. From the back you can see the wound healing is dramatic.
