Carrying out some private work at a clients home.

I was recently asked to visit a clients home to work on some of his junipers.

A half cascade juniper ittogawa wired and ready for styling.

The tree after positioning the branches.

Another wired juniper ready for styling. This appears to be juniper sergentii.

After styling and the removal of two large lower branches.

This juniper ittogawa has no wire on but just needed cleaning out and tidying up.

What a difference and what an amazing composition with such a natural looking rock formation.

Hard to believe that this is the same tree that was exhibited at my Newstead Bonsai Extravaganza in 2010.

More and more of my students are beginning to take advantage of private work sessions both at their homes and at my unit.
