I’m Back. We had a very busy 4.5 weeks away. Apart from the family and friend catch-ups, weddings and birthdays I did manage to see my share of bonsai. As I sort my photos I will share some of the sights and interesting bonsai that I came across in the coming weeks.
In the mean time I thought i would share a picture of a fairly amazing shimpaku I found by accident. Some friends took me to a local bonsai nursery where we stumbled across the below tree.
I am not sure if the pot will fit it or not but even though it is cracked it’s the best we could find.
Shimpaku and pot
It is a little hard to gauge the scale of this tree so below is another pic with someone along side it for scale comparison.
Size comparison.
This nursery actually had a couple of exceptional garden junipers which may have to make it into future posts as like the above tree, they were too big to make it into my suitcase.

I thought the tree was small until there as a person to compare it to. BTW I had a quick browse through some of your other entries. Love the trees! I have a corky bark that I’d been wondering what to do with. I got badly frustrated after several wines and chopped the top off. I wish I had thought of a raft! It would have been perfect, but hey ho suck is life. I’ll have a look at the rest of your site once I get back from a test drive. Thanks for sharing.
