Look at this incredible juniper we worked on! We've been servicing this tree for many years and have guided the tree to grow this way. At first glance, this looks like a tree with two trunks, but the trunk on the right is a false trunk. This is ONE tree with a trunk that starts on the left and grown all the way to the right. Imagine if this were to one day repotted into a massive cascade.

Hey bonsai enthusiasts!

We are in the process of putting together a BONSAI FOR INTERMEDIATES class! This class will be focused primarily on wiring and creating structure to upgrade a tree. We have enough materials to do two classes of about 20 students each. If the classes do well, we will add it to our reoccurring curriculum. We will provide the tree and wires and any other tools you may need. You will also get to keep the tree at the end of the course. This class will be VERY hands on.

Again, we are in the planning phase and do not have a set date, but aiming for late August or early September. If you are interested in this class, comment here, let us know, and we can put you on a wait-list and reach out to you first when the class has a set date.
