These take MANY years to develop!! I thought I would be further along by now.

Very very nice Mike. Fantastic branch ramification forming. Almost seems like it hasent been touched by the hand of man

How long has this taken Mike? I have a trident forest that is very young so I better strap in for the long run

I am having a brief lunchtime break and this forest has made my day. Just beautiful. The forest floor is wonderful.
The whole setting is brilliant.

Thanks for posting.



Bonsai teaches me patience.

It was put together during a demo about 5 or 6 years ago but I used some older trees from another forest as well as some younger material. I was told that some of the older ones were around 20 years old but they were in extremely poor condition at the time. I basically had to start from scratch.

That is nice!
Great ramification happening and all the trees have a nice balance/harmony that isn't too contrived.
The lighting in the shot with the sun/shadows dappling through to the forest floor also adds a great dimension.
Very cool.

Your patience has paid off then it looks awesome mate!

You are right. Good bonsai does take time.
A passable group is possible in just a couple of years but to get something with great form and good ramification takes far longer.
Well done Mike.

Very graceful and harmonious. Deceptively difficult to be this disciplined.
