European Larch bonsai
A European Larch bonsai that I worked on for owner Jez Shakerley last weekend. The tree is extremely vigorous and I was able to prune it very hard, partially defoliate, wire and style over the weekend. The tree has some provenance, owned by the late Paul Goff and initially styled with Harry Tomlinson, it has appeared in a number of books as well as the front cover of Paul Goff’s book on Bonsai Display. . . #bonsai #tree #larch

Japanese White Pine bonsai
Here’s a huge Japanese White Pine bonsai worked on over the weekend for owner Jez Shakerley Fortunately the tree was already wired so it refining and defining the foliage wasn’t as hard a job as it might have been. We’re yet to discover the potter behind that beautiful Japanese pot, the tree really is too heavy to move with just two of us! . . #bonsai #tree #japanese #pine

A fantastic weekend in the deepest New Forest
A fantastic weekend in the deepest New Forest with Alice, as guests to Elaine and Jez Shakerley. Some fantastic trees to work on and Alice really enjoyed her time there with the wild horses, and a local New Forest Show with Elaine. Thanks guys! I’ll post more tomorrow showing a new Kapanese White Pine bonsai and a famous Larch bonsai that Jez now owns; hopefully we will see them exhibited in the UK in the not to distant future. . . #bonsai
