In April of 2009 Bonsai Focus editor Farrand Bloch flew me down to California for a photo shoot at Boon Manakitivipart’s place. Boon was very generous in supplying the tree. I had a couple hours to study it, and then the cameras came out. Here are a few photos from that day (but for the full article be sure to see the magazine, BF 1/2010):
Nice work Mike!
I just got this issue. Good job the tree came out great… Now who gets the tree. you or boon
Tree’s in my yard!
Wow Mike that’s a great transformation. Would love to see you perform your magic on one of Anton’s Hm, maybe this summer?
Cheers Graham
Well done!
Do you have any updated photos of the tree?
I’m thinking if you cut off the erect jin coming off the trunk, and the low part of the cascade, you’d have a jazz-saxophone-style cascade bonsai.
That’s a great observation Al. We need to stop him before the sax becomes a clarinet!!
