Original Bonsai in Dawes collection. This tree needed some attention
and a new style.
|
At the Dawes Arboretum Bonsai Workday 2007, several members from
the local Pun-Ching and Columbus Club showed up to help dawes
work on their collection trees. Here John Hill and Myself start on this
Little Leaf Boxwood.

The tree started out with a whirl of 6 branches all originating from the
same location. Instinctively we both knew that it had to come to one.
|
We removed all but the two, pausing to make sure that we could not
make use of this one last branch before giving it the hack...

Still pondering
|
the old paper towel method, now you see it... now you don't...
|
|
|
|
We both along with all the onlookers agree, "Chop IT", we found a new
pot form the dawes stash, and sized it up...
|
This was all done from start to finish, not more than 15-20 min... Not that
I am advocating cut before you think, it was just an obvious solution. A
new pot, new trim, a new Bonsai... Now with some detailed wiring on the
crown to pull the branch's more horizontal this will be a nice Literati.
