Pinus sylvestris (Scots Pine) 'Shohin'

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

April 1998

This tree was collected from the New Forest in 1996, and is affectionately known to me as the 'Sows Ear'.
I did not have a lot of hope for this tree untill I took it to Colin Lewis for a workshop
.

At the workshop.

After some major surgery the tree begins to reveal it's soul.

Voila!

A silk purse!

August 1999

It has put on a lot of growth over the summer.
Next year comes the challenge of ramification and needle reduction.
