I am unsure how Peter Tea retains placing up so many high quality bonsai. Each time I go to his Fb timeline (about as soon as per week) there may be one other batch of nice bushes in numerous levels. A seemingly limitless development. Some from earlier than, however a stunning number every time that I have not seen. Some form of magic I assume.
I do know some folks do not recognize extremely stylized bushes like this one, however sure bushes appear to demand it. Particularly in Japan, although this one is from California. It belongs to Peter Tea who apprenticed in Japan just a few years again.
Here is Peter’s caption:

It’s tremendous full with plenty of pads and has a contented, plentiful really feel to it. I can’t assist however pet the tree each time I stroll by it within the backyard!
Hen’s eye view. Once more Peter’s caption:

Sticking with a extra formal look. Peter’s feedback:

We’ll let Peter do the speaking:

Now it’s time to calm down and benefit from the Summer time solar.
I am unsure I’ve ever seen a Arboricola so nicely developed. Here is what Peter wrote:
