Developing Japanese Black Pine Bonsai

I began photographing my work on this nursery stock Japanese black pine in 2007 to study and learn the relationship between the techniques, timing, and outcome. The experiment proved useful in my understanding of working with black pines, and useful to others along the way. Since the experiment was successful, here it is, all in one place.



Enjoy the development of this tree…or at least the graceful aging of the fence over the course of seven years.
