Our National Bonsai and Penjing Collection is hosting another week of bonsai activities in Canberra. Workshops with international practitioners allow us to exchange ideas and learn new techniques and ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year we have expert advice from\u00a02 visitors – Heike van Gunst and\u00a0Sandra Grlica. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have been lucky to get a place in one of the workshops this year. With an entire day to fill we are able to take several trees to work with. I’m having trouble narrowing down the possibilities so I’ll take a few extras for the ladies to choose from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are the trees I’ve selected<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These junipers have all been developed over the past 9 years with repeated wiring, bending and twisting to produce wild looking trunks. Some have also had initial shari started.\u00a0Experienced readers\u00a0will note some long sacrifice branches that I’ve been using to increase trunk thickness and, in some cases, to develop thicker branches that may be used for additional jins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Really looking forward to the weekend activities and to whatever the ladies can develop from the trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
