The best strategy for creating junipers with interesting deadwood is to add twists to the trunk while the tree is still young.

For years I’ve wanted to write about wiring rooted juniper cuttings, but I stopped short as before and after photos aren’t always helpful.

For the last year and a half, I’ve been working to increase the branch density on a Chinese wisteria. Last fall, I was able to see the results.

When a bonsai hasn’t been repotted in a while, the broken down soil and roots can fill most of the gaps between soil particles and make for a compacted root ball.

Just over a year ago, I mentioned an idea for a regional bonsai show. It’s time for an update!

One species that I’m excited to work with over the next few years is sekka hinoki, Chamaecyparis obtusa ‘sekka’.
