Return of ‘The Fish’…
…which could either be a salmon returning up a river, or simply a bad movie title…?
It’s neither. The Fish is yet another convenient, somewhat silly, ‘name’ for a Rocky Mountain Juniper that was featured here over a year ago when it was first styled. We did a three-part, real-time posting of it back then:

We let The Fish grow for a year to gain a bit of momentum for repotting this spring. It’s been an odd coincidence that whenever we have a big project going on, Matt Reel shows up in the studio. I don’t recall any organization about it, but he arrives promptly when something is about to happen. Hope you enjoy the photos!
To finish the post today, here are a few photos from our last Winter Seasonal, featuring three students from British Columbia, Canada-

Wonderful, thanks for sharing with us!:)
Good thing the shirts don’t change the ability! Love seeing the work on these trees.

Nice project from Michael
Loved seeing the tree yoga and the fish in a box. Wonderful work!
At least he was back in his stripes for the shore pine.
All very nice trees! And great work as always!! 🙂
Very nice tree! Was wire holding in the long strip of bamboo or just under the lip og the pot?
Looks like the students did a great job.
Wire held down this one. The lip of the pot trick or side of the pot works great too.
