It was potted, some carving done, and it grew...<br />
<br />
Chase sold the tree 3 years ago at one of his sales. Subsequently it was taken to several workshops with Mauro Stemberger to get it back in shape.<br />
<br />
Someone had carved cross-grain which was a major issue on the deadwood, but was fixed.<br />
Foliage was arranged properly, and the result can be seen.<br />
<br />
Still need to seal the old wood, and apply lime sulphur, but for now I will let the tree rest over the winter...<br />

Pix of the tree as purchased from Chase:<br />

<br />
These 2 Barberries are perhaps 40-50 years old...just magnificent!<br />
The church was happy to rid themselves of such sticker-shocking trees, since the folks who volunteer to do the landscaping have been complaining for years.<br />
<br />
They are planning to replant the flower bed with flowers! What a concept...<br />
Cheers...<br />

When my girls were small, there were few people there, so we basically had the place to ourselves.<br />
<br />
In the past 10 years, it seems Longwood has been rediscovered, so much so that now tickets are purchased on the half-hour (and that is when you enter!). This is done so as to smooth out the crowd flow. However, it means we need to compete with 10,000 other people to walk the grounds, and thru the Conservatory. Oh well...so much for progress....<br />
<br />
Still, it was a lovely walk. The grounds were in their best festive Christmas lights, and there were carolers both on the grounds and inside the Conservatory.<br />
<br />
A highlight for me is always seeing the bonsai there, so here are a few shots I can share.<br />
Happy New Year to All!<br />

This group consisted about (18) folks, many of whom have attended the Walter Pall series for a number of years.<br />
A large number of trees were brought in this past Spring, so there were many very nice trees still left, on which to practice bonsai skills.<br />

Jim Doyle from Natures Way Nursery visited South Jersey, to demo initial styling on a nice Larch.<br />
In spite of nasty November wind and rain, (18) Members turned out, listened, watched, and learned!<br />
Here are some of the photos, showing the work progression, and the final result.<br />
<br />
The tree was raffled off and the lucky winner was John Grisafi!<br />
<br />
Jim then provided critical styling commentary on Members' trees...see photos.<br />

Jim discussed some basics before beginning styling on this nice Larch. This tree is from Randy Knight's nursery, out in Oregon. It has been field-grown, and was brought into Natures Way Nursery in Spring of 2014...<br />

Jim then began critique of members' trees.<br />
<br />
Tom DeSimone brought an Azalea root over rock. Jim suggested some minor changes with the branching, and opened the possibility of another "front"...<br />

<br />
Flex brought an Amur Maple with nice Nebari, and powerful trunk.<br />
<br />
Jim suggested that the top half be removed, and new apex branching be developed at the cut.<br />
<br />
This can happen any time the saw is sharp!<br />

<br />
Doc Stone brought a nice Chinese Elm with beginnings of wonderful trunk features. This tree is beginning to bark up with a more mature Chinese Elm look.<br />
<br />
Jim suggested improving the holes already started in the trunk, and making a number of new ones.<br />
<br />
These holes should go deep into the trunk, creating shadow and mystery!<br />

<br />
As can be seen, one can still find great buys in nurseries.
<br />
Mike Dewoski brought this Boxwood from a nursery on the Black Horse Pike in south Jersey.<br />
<br />
This tree has what looks like a nice twist to the trunk, and many developed branches. It should be thinned out, and some of the internal multi-branch "whorls" can then be addressed. The bark can be cleaned with a mild brass wire brush.<br />

<br />
Andrew DuBrul brought this Pine. It has a nice base, lots of jin possibilities, but foliage which is far out on branches, away from the trunk.<br />
<br />
Jim suggested several ways to mount it, including a cascade style, which can make good use of foliage way out at the end of branches...<br />

<br />
This Mugo pine from Joe Giangrasso seems to be a good starter tree to practice on, but has been in the nursery pot too long. The roots have started circling the inside of the pot, so will have to be removed in the Spring to preserve the tree's health.<br />
<br />
This one can provide lots of technique practice!<br />

<br />
Tom DeSimone brought this Pine. Jim suggested that it can benefit from removal of the lower left branch, and jinning it.<br />
<br />
Additional deeper carving is needed on the shari running up the right side of the trunk, and the foliage pads can be compacted into nice pads....<br />

Karen Smith brought this little Hinoki can benefit from a few more years' growth, to thicken up the trunk.<br />
<br />
The straight left trunk can then be killed off, and jinned, while the right trunk, which has more movement, is then styled nicely..<br />

Tom DeSomone had a Spruce, which can benefit from judicious wiring, to create more movement in the pads.<br />

When next repotted, the mounting angle could be changed more to the left to improve the look of the tree.<br />

<br />
John Grisafi had a Willow-Leaf Ficus, with a dead section at the trunk base, and very straight trunk...<br />
<br />
Jim suggested splitting the trunk so it could be bent. Here the splitting has begun...<br />

<br />
<br />
...and a "spirit" in the tree which had not previously been noticed....<br />
<br />
Jim added some thin slices of cork to keep the trunk split.<br />
The trunk was then bent, and a heavy guy wire was used to hold the new bend in the trunk.<br />
<br />
This placed the branches in a nice way, so they can now be wired to create a nice small tree...<br />

The owner will now have to wire out the branches, and do a little styling.<br />
<br />
Most of the work falls to the tree, to grow out and fill on branches!Flexhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04643278658866435693noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7503727914235195172.post-28676806204234689342014-09-16T17:43:00.000-07:002014-09-16T17:43:17.256-07:004th US National Bonsai Exposition, Rochester N.Y.There are by now many Photos on blogs with shots from the National, so let's add to that number!<br />
<br />
We arrived Thursday, and pulled all Natures Way items out of the travel van, and placed in the assigned booth. Friday was setup day, so with everything already there, setting everything in place was a breeze. This provided a little time in the afternoon to casually stroll the exhibit as it was being set up.<br />
<br />
The new venue Bill Valavanis found is in East Rochester, in the Total Sports Experience building. Quite a different venue from 2012, which was in a poorly lighted quonset hut!<br />
The display area was about twice the previous size. The vendor area was about 4 times the previous, as was the demo area. The lighting was extremely good, so every detail was clearly visible. This made shopping a breeze! The flooring was covered by artificial turf, so was pleasant to walk on and see...<br />
<br />
Sara Rayner was there with more pots than I had ever seen her bring to any show! By the end of the show, she sold about 75%!<br />

Brian Hollowell had a magnificent Rocky Mountain Juniper in the exhibit...it took one of the top prizes! And well deserved..the foliage was perfectly placed and properly wired. The pot was understated, and the color worked very well with the live veins and the deadwood.<br />
Well Done Brian!!!!!<br />

My overall impression was that the National is showing the same jumps of progress and quality as Ginko did in Europe. Each successive show is better than the last, and the tree quality has improved dramatically.<br />
The creativity of American bonsai artists is quickly catching up to the rest of the World!<br />
<br />

As always...it was a BLAST!<br />
Here are a few shots of the event.<br />
We opened the kiln, and removed (carefully!) about 200 nice pieces, of all sizes and shapes.<br />
Some were commissioned pieces, while others were up for grabs.<br />
<br />
Ron and Sharon then prepared lunch for all...wonderful pasta salad, grilled specialties, and lots of wonderful additions to finish everything off (including killer chocolate chip cookies!).<br />
<br />
My sincere THANKS! to Ron and Sharon for another job WELL DONE!<br />
<br />
Cheers!<br />

Here in Eastern Pa. we had 5 inches!<br />
I believe we had about 1/2 of our club members in attendance at the demo. Quite a turn-out, especially considering the rain...<br />
Anyway...I have had many positive comments on Suthin, and how he demonstrates and works.<br />
This exceptional artist combines teaching, styling, easy-going clean tree work, and comedy...which made for a very entertaining evening. Many new lessons learned, and from a slim-trunked, full-foliaged Hinoki, a beautiful bonsai lady emerged.<br />
<br />
Jay Burton presided over raffle tickets, and one lucky BSSJ member was rewarded with a super-nice tree!<br />
Congrats to Andrew DuBrul!<br />
So here are some highlights from the evening...enjoy!<br />

With Spring the bonsai activities start in earnest. One of these first activities is the annual Woodstock festival, where Walter Pall visits Natures Way nursery in Harrisburg Pa., for an intensive 3-day bonsaifest.<br />
<br />
Of course, Natures Way has probably the largest array of wonderful collected trees on the East Coast of the US, so getting the chance to work on collected yamadori is a special treat! SOme of the trees we worked were upwards of 300-500 years old.<br />
<br />
BSSJ had (3) folks present on Friday, and (4) on Saturday. Was not there today, so can not report on the folks or work...<br />
<br />
So following are pix of the work, the people, and of course...the trees!<br />
Enjoy!<br />

Good Afternoon Bonsai Enthusiasts,<br />
<br />
First, I would like to wish everyone a very happy, healthy and prosperous 2014 and may all of our bonsai thrive and get better and better in the coming year.<br />
<br />
Today is my last day as President of the Bonsai Society of South Jersey. Flex Houvig will be our new President and I wish him well. It has been great fun and very satisfying being President for the past five years. I’ve met so many wonderful people and made so many new friends.<br />
<br />
Our club membership has grown to more than 40 people. We now display regularly at the Ocean City Flower Show and hope to start this Fall at Arts in the Park at Smithville, NJ. We are also a member of the Mid-Atlantic Bonsai Societies and have had Masters visit us and give advice and talks.<br />
<br />
We are a nice group of people and everyone seems genuinely ready to help everyone else. I couldn’t be more proud of everyone and thank you all for the help, cooperation and support you have given me over the years. I would also like to thank Paula and Bobby Brandamarte for graciously allowing us to use the facilities at Clover Garden Center.<br />
<br />
But it is time for new directions, new energy and new ideas to make our club better and stronger. So starting tomorrow, a new group takes over and I will become a Bonsai Enthusiast. <span style="font-family: Wingdings;">J</span>
<br />
<br />
Thank you again for your support. <br />
<br />
Sincerely,<br />
<br />
Tom De Simone<br />
<br />
President<br />

At that time there was some minimal carving done, and the tree was allowed to grow out and gain strength.<br />
Here are several views from 2010.<br />

The section of trunk below the hollows died back. The surface bark was removed to expose the underlying deadwood, and this was carved to look like an old rotted tree. Here is the tree before starting work.<br />

A "diaper" was added around the trunk to contain the carving chips, and work was started.</div>

On getting beyond the firmer surface wood, I discovered a rotting core on the center left. This guided the carving deeper into the heart of the trunk.</div>

The Cherry will now rest over the Winter, and the carved area will naturalize. In the spring it will be brushed and treated with preservative.</div>

The canopy is building out nicely, so we may have a very nice design in a few more years. In the meantime the flowers will be a delight!</div>

And, as one might expect from a transplant Brit, his quick sense of humor was unmatched!<br />
<br />
Peter was usually accompanied by Kate Adams, an artist in her own right. Kate liked to organize Peter's work for publication, and also has several wonderful published works of her own.<br />
<br />
Small groups of us met Kate and Peter for many years at Natures Way, each time taking our trees to higher levels of refinement. Peter had a wonderful way of doing a quick sketch to illustrate his points, so that even the most stubborn of us could "see the light". He was a teacher unmatched in bonsai.<br />
<br />
We frequently shared dinners and some adult beverages...wonderful times!<br />
<br />
Here are just a small sampling of some of the sessions we shared out at Natures Way...I hope you enjoy, and can in some way get a sense of who and what we have lost...<br />

So as you can see, there are many great things growing at the National Arboretum. Coming from my home in Wayne Pa., it is about 2.5 hour drive, so grab your coffee, fill the tank, crank up a quiet radio station and head South to DC! It is well worth it, and will surely brighten dreary days in the Fall and Winter.</div>

Good Morning Bonsai Enthusiasts,
What a beautiful morning!!!! Two reminders:
1.) Our November meeting will be held this Wednesday evening from 7PM to 9PM at Clover Garden Center. We have a guest speaker, a friend of mine named Jack Labor who is a photographer. He will discuss techniques for taking good photos of our bonsai to include lighting, placement, background, etc.
After his presentation, he will set up a place to take formal photos of our bonsai. So, if you have one or two favorite bonsai and you would like a “Playboy” shot which you can print out and frame, to place somewhere in your home, now is the time. Jack will E-Mail the photo too you. He is charging $10.00 per photo. I am bringing two of my trees all cleaned up and ready to go.
We will also have a bonsai auction of trees, pots, tools, etc. What ever you wish to auction off, with proceeds going to the BSSJ treasury. I am bringing a young, collected Liquid Amber sapling in a mica pot. Look forward to seeing you on Wednesday.
2.) Election for President and Vice President will close on Friday, November 15th. If you have not yet voted for the posts of President and Vice President, please do so or forever hold your peace. J I will announce the results of the election on Saturday, November 16th and give out the names of the candidates for the four Steering Committee positions at that time. Voting for them will close on Saturday, November 30th. If you have misplaced the names of the candidates for President and Vice President, let me know and I will resend them too you.
Big freeze coming next week, prepare accordingly.
One last thing, I have changed from Verizon to Comcast. My new E-Mail address is thomasrose143@comcast.net. Please change accordingly.
I will be phasing out my Verizon address next week.
Sincerely,
Tom De Simone
