Vonsgardens

Thanks Bill,
They are all pretty nice- the 51375 tree is my personal favorite, I am not much of a photographer, so they all suffer from that.

I posted these trees to show that the systematic application of technique- in this case needle reduction via candle growth control- will transform those wild looking JBP's we see called bonsai (with 3-4" needles and very little fine ramification) into respectable trees fairly quickly- 3-4 years to fine ramification.

We can talk about the art part of bonsai all we want, however the correct application of those repetitive tasks will tkae a well designed tree to the next level of excellence. Got to have both. I will post pictures of these trees again as we procede through the process, and of a couple that are farther along in the process, to show how quickly nice trees can be developed from good rough stock.
