Ron brought in these two Sejo elms, which have the smallest leaves of any elm. He is air layering the large trunk on the left, which has a lot of young shoots. The plant on the right was air layered from the same plant last year.
Ron also brought in this Persian lace leaf lilac. This is a cluster style bonsai and each twig is a separate tree. He is wiring each to radiate straight out of the root ball.
Karen has brought this young black pine to work on.
George is helping Jeff with a JIN on his San Jose juniper. The JIN is used to reduce the height, and improve the taper of the tree. A smaller branch will be wired up to form a new apex.
Jeff is removing the bark from the JIN.
Jeff has some fantastic Kingsford boxwoods. They are very hard to find, and extreamly slow growing. This one has a terrific roots. Jeff said he plans to cut off the botton half of the root ball.
Long brought in what he thought was a stone pine, but Kanemi said it is a blue cedar.
Kanemi is wiring Minh's black pine with Joe and Minh watching the master.
Wiring complete.
Rod brought this unusual juniper. Some of the new growth has yellow tips. Rod was not sure how he should style the tree. I think the consensus was wind swept. Most of the growth is to the left and back from the camera angle. Most of the branches could all be wired in that direction. George noted there was one branch that could not be moved and would have to be removed.
