An update on my European Beech bonsai, in development with me for nearly 25 years now!
A couple of weeks ago I gave the crown a good thinning out, removing a fair amount of ramification, basically to encourage more strength in that lower branch.

Playing with a huge 1.5 metre tall Carpinus betulus/European Hornbeam bonsai today!
I dug it up and potted it 2 years ago from the garden where it had been growing as a project tree for an enthusiast.
It’s now in a 24"/60cm (!) wide plastic bonsai training pot and for sale in the Bonsai4me.com/store

Update on the original English Elm raft bonsai in my collection, seen here with the tree as it was after airlayering by Sean Stolp in 2018.

Catching up on some images of bonsai taken on my DSLR that so far I’ve only posted on reels.
This is a Prunus spinosa/Blackthorn bonsai of mine after winter pruning.
Bonsai pot by Victor Harris
Another few weeks and it’ll be covered in white flowers!

Huge Larch repotted this morning in London, with owner Faisal Waheedy
Faisal has owned the tree for over a decade since bringing it back from Belgium, styled by Kevin Wilson a few years ago, this is the second repot to get the tree planted at the correct angle.

European Larch bonsai styled this week.
The tree was originally collected as a sapling in Wales and grown in a variety of bonsai pots for 40 years in a private bonsai collection. When the owner died, I acquired the tree 2 years ago and it had been badly neglected for over 25 years.

The final image of the Hawthorn bonsai I styled this week for video.
32”/81cm in height, the tree was the first collected from the Hill in 2016.
It’s been a slow journey with this tree; with older Hawthorn, they’re not as vigorous as younger trees, but we’re getting there!

This approx 150+ year old Hawthorn bonsai was the first I collected off the hill, around 8 years ago.
This week I’ve been keeping warm in the studio filming the process of refining the branch structure. #bonsai

A ‘moving image’ of my Elm raft bonsai after winter pruning.
Originally collected by Sean Stolp 5 years ago, everything has been grown onto a bare trunk.

Deadwood carving for bonsai is a difficult set of skills to learn, and when I saw the footage I shot for a carving video, I realised it’s also quite spectacular!

A very quick 1 minute preview of a Larch bonsai I was commissioned to work on for tattooist Mike Harris and his dad David Harris .
The entire process was filmed and has been edited now for future release, but this is a fun reel showing snippets of the whole process! #bonsai #tree #larch

One of a series of reels I have of some of the bonsai at Saturdays B4me workshop here in Aylesbury.
I posted this Larch bonsai belonging to Chris Ducker recently and here it is ‘in the flesh’ after detail wiring during the day.

A reel showing the various stages of a Larch bonsai commission I finished today for Michael Harris and David Harris
The tree had already been styled very well but needed some detail-wiring and a slight reposition in its pot to get the absolute best out of it. #bonsai #larch #art #tree

Another Facebook memory, this time from 3 years ago today:
After a journey together of over a decade, this Hornbeam bonsai finally headed to its new home today.
The tree was detailed before the new owner picked it up, this important annual task makes a world of a difference!

It is with very heavy heart to share the terrible news that Andrew Pearson, aka Stone Monkey passed away suddenly this morning.
I’m shocked as I know many are.
The image is from happier days at The Noelanders Show in 2017, with Andy, Alex, Thor Holvila and Farrand Bloch of Bonsai Focus

My next tree up in the Studio for filming, a larch belonging to my tattooist Michael Harris @mikeharristattoo.bsky.social that is in for detailing and finishing.
I’ve been looking forward to this one for a while now!
