Shimpaku
juniper At the very
first PACIFIC NORTHWEST BONSAI CONVENTION fourteen years ago,
this composition was created in a Dan Robinson workshop. This
technique is called the phoenix graft. A shimpaku whip is attached
to a piece of deadwood with nails, wire and zip ties. What a
marriage of live tree and sculpted deadwood! |
Hemlock This western hemlock was collected
on the Olympic Peninsula in 1973. It was growing on
a hillside and so irresistible that the owner (her name shall
forevermore be kept a secret) couldn't help but
dig it up and take it home. It's been in training for twentynine
years. |

English
yew In 1952 an office
building is landscaped using among other plants this yew. In
1983 the trees' owner (as well as the buildings' owner) dug up
the then seven foot tall yew and replanted it in his yard at
home after reducing the height to 25 inches. It has been in training
and in a bonsai pot for the past 10 years. Another fine example
of "urban collccting". |
| Japanese
larch This striking
larch was originally designed by Dan Robinson at a PSBA demonstration
about five years ago. The owner purchased it for one dollar,
YES I SAID ONE DOLLAR. Does this give you an incentive to buy
those raffle tickets? |

Chinese
elm Another import
from China in 1995. Most likely it was field grown and quite
old. |
