Mixed Rock Planting

Home Pick a Tree E.B.S. The Author Bonsai Links

January 1997

This planting was a project for a demonstration a my local club.
Eastleigh Bonsai Society.
It is made from 7 pieces of  'Tufa' rock cemented onto  a slate base.

Spring 1997

The rock was planted up as a demo at the club in February with 3  dwarf junipers and 4 small Acer palmatum.

Spring 1998

I have replaced the Squamatas with Chinensis which give a much better image. I also made the mistake of planting some Arenaria belearica on the rock which looks very nice which it's small white flowers but it spreads like wildfire and is a major pain trying to keep it under control.

May 1999

The Junipers still need a lot of development but the image I was after is starting to come together.

November1999

Junipers are filling out well and I think the contrast with the autumn colours looks great.
