Eric compares the health and growth of two Junipers he acquired at the same time, two years ago. For the first, he repotted it before focusing on the design; it was in a 3 gallon can and he potted it down about 9 months ago. It's since grown very slowly. The second tree is still in a 5 gallon can. 00:01:33 Tree #2 is a field grown Kishu from Jim Gremel. Last time Eric worked on it, he cut back the long big straight branches really hard. He left the top alone, ensuring no part of the trunk would die back. 12" whips have grown over the past year. 00:02:45 Eric creates more deadwood (shari) from the stubs. 00:03:29 Close-up of peeling the bark. 00:04:39 Fiber-pulling: Eric grabs tiny fibers and pulls them down. This makes interest textures and grooves in the wood. 00:05:51 Reduced stump and nice interest in the deadwood. 00:08:03 Looking at the tree from the other side. Eric assesses his design options and which piece he will need to eliminate. More wood peeling! 00:09:51 Branch selection. 00:10:56 Pointing out potential center of the top for the future and a second option for a shohin-sized bonsai. 00:12:01 Clear picture of tree from the front. 00:12:55 Wiring to add movement. 00:14:05 Eric will revisit the tree in 6-12 months. 00:14:45 Back to tree #1. Eric shares how he can fix it and force some barely visible buds. He reinforces that potting down a juniper too quickly, just slows the entire process down. What experiences have you had, potting down before design vs design before repotting? Share them in the comments below. Thank you for watching! Please like and share this video.

Welcome to the ABC6 Bonsai Convention, held at the historic Stellenbosch Town Hall from the 8th to the 10th of November 2024. In this video, we spotlight an unforgettable collaboration between two internationally acclaimed bonsai artists, Elsa Boudouri and Jennifer Price. On the third and final day of the convention, these masters took on the extraordinary task of restyling a legendary pine tree that had its first transformation back in the 1940s. This tree, steeped in decades of history, posed a unique challenge and an incredible opportunity. Elsa and Jennifer worked side by side, weaving their distinct artistic styles into a unified vision. The goal? To honor the tree's storied past while bringing out its most striking features and breathing new life into its timeless form. The result was nothing short of spectacular. With Elsa’s eye for detail and Jennifer’s dynamic approach, they shaped the tree into a breathtaking masterpiece—a living testament to the art of bonsai and the power of collaboration. This transformation showcased not only the skill and creativity of these two artists but also the deep respect and reverence bonsai practitioners have for nature and history. As part of the ABC6 Bonsai Convention, this project served as a perfect conclusion to a weekend filled with inspiration, learning, and community. The convention itself was a celebration of the art of bonsai, featuring international and local demonstrations, thought-provoking lectures, and a stunning maze-like exhibition of over 200 bonsai trees. The convention also paid homage to its location in Stellenbosch, a town with a rich heritage that dates back to 1679. Known for its Cape Dutch architecture and breathtaking landscapes, Stellenbosch provided the ideal setting for an event that beautifully merged tradition, art, and nature.
