Natural or unnatural, or as a bonsai shape of the classic and not die trying.

From some time now there are many debates that are taking place regarding the issue of whether this or that tree is modeled in a way in respecting the essence of the species or if instead this, failing that, is modeled on what is taken for consideration as a classic. And this classic form, as it would not be but a way from Japan and put it, imposed a Europe Nipponese land yet, as the bonsai prefer, still in its infancy, with a style yet defense in which the essence of naturalness could be the distinctive tone.

This will be the debate or debates on this issue until recently naturalness and make a sketch of a pomegranate tree I've seen tesitud be the this warning. Naturally warning not to model it in the natural style of the pomegranate or rather in the style of deciduous trees. Namely, that in the branches, because it is an outdated should not fall down and so therefore the comment would be something like that somehow the design was not valid.

I will say now that this took me by surprise because when I drew it knew he was doing from a standpoint of the Japanese classic in which the pursuit of triangulation premium over the rest of things even if this means that much lower and the odd branch.
This in the case of conifers but not so much as for deciduous trees.

The fact that the references in an increasing number from various fans as well as the increasing amount of discussion about trying to get a more naturally in our bonsai, does that mean a change of mentality amateur part of Europe and therefore a bias towards a change of style in which predominates the naturalness of the species?. Hopefully.

However, let me hesitate. I put the case of oak as a species because in it, even though it is a conifer, the branch disponsición even more dilapidated specimens is to be arranged so almost vertical, when the counter does not observed in most of our bonsai cork for still further modeled in the classical style of the Orient tax.
You mean this is not the right way forward?. Of course not, if a tree is the case of cork or any other kind work visually.
But what sabesis and Joshi Jon Naka said ... do your children look like bonsai trees and do not seem that your bonsai trees.


Alcornoques in nature.

Elah classic modeling.

I would like to know your opinion about it and if you think that actually produced a change of style in Europe or if things continue as they are and Of course, if you consider such a change necessary. And if possible, because all such debates, if you can that this gesture
seamlessly a style of bonsai, very much ours. Here in EUROPE.

A modest pine

follows Pine sylvestris post is a look at these trees rather modest, ie, no great shakes but in these days of January rain in which there is not much to do or just do not want to go out, to have it before and playing modeling can give us a few hours of entertainment are much appreciated.

begin by removing old needles last year. This, in addition to promoting the emergence of new outbreaks in the following growing season, we will also provide your wiring.
We therefore need before entering pine model elimination is crucial of these needles old for the reasons already mentioned.

Pine For this post, the wiring process lasted about two hours while her modeling took barely half an hour.

When modeling a branching tree with abundant
such as this, it is very important to focus first and only wired the same only when fully wiring should enter the design phase, since the do it this way, makes things very much.

And the result, a lack of polish details, such as might be the elimination of unnecessary internal outbreaks or outbreaks wiring end up (I did not wanting to overload extres the tree by being a first intervention), or become a trunk jin left is the next photo. A result otherwise nothing spectacular as it is a rather modest pine.
But perhaps maybe I should say that the result has been, rather, a few hours of fun entertainment.

When a few years ago I met by chance with the rock in one of my many visits to a garden center I knew I wanted do something with it. So not sure what, but finally came to me not only sinoque also the owner, (a friend of mine for years) had to give it to me well.

The fact is that after a couple of years the idea I wanted to do with the rock was taking shape. If previously had not known very well why these cravings for me with it, now I was very clear. The idea or project ... was to make a bonkei or planting in rock!. To that end I proceeded to hollow inside (very laborious task indeed), but in the absence of the tree or trees that were to match the idea I had in mind, there's half-forgotten spend another year until I get back with her.

At last, in 2009, after a visit to the house of Alberto Baleato (kingii), I found it already had three years of searching. A prunus mahaleb that suited perfectly to the idea of \u200b\u200brock-tree that I had in mind had been too long. I did not get that if the owner give him to me lol, but if you buy it at a very reasonable price. Anteriormete
thought of planting within the same few juniper (procumbens nana), but quickly discard the idea of \u200b\u200bnice not to finish all that approach.

At this point, the next step was to capture on paper and drawing what I wanted to convey this future union rock-tree. And the result is that you can see in the sketch attached below. With this merger, what it is, is to give the feeling of a group of trees growing in a rocky area hit hard by the wind, and where, as are placed in the same and therefore more or less protected in the same measure, some are called to be larger and the other, being more exposed, in a smaller size, with a steeper and more squat in shape.

This post certainly
retake it again in the spring, once planted and the prunus
in its new location, the rock.
I hope this marriage is for life. The
have something to say speak now or forever ...
