The Bonsai of Michael Hagedorn– Rock Light



All today’s trees are thanks to our good friend Michael Hagedorn Below’s what he needed to claim regarding this one: Concerning 4 1/2 years ago I implanted this Rocky Hill Juniper (accumulated by Randy Knight) with some interested shimpaku vegetation that I took a luster to. The shimpaku vegetation was a little bit coarser than we see generally, as well as I believed it would certainly look excellent on a tree with a tough, meaningful personality.


An additional Rocky hill juniper.


An additional one! Michael’s tale: This tree is unique for 2 factors. Due to the fact that my good friend Troy Cardoza accumulated it, the initial is. I such as having trees that connect me to other individuals. As well as it’s likewise unique due to the fact that it’s fairly little for its age, with some fantastic sinuous lines.


A tree with weird qualifications. In Michael’s very own words: The majority of young bonsai plants are placed in bigger pots or in the ground to mass them up. This is one instance of a tree expanded just in a really little pot, for thirty years. We do not obtain a big trunk this way, however the gain remains in micro-detailing.

The juniper included right here begun as an Eastern Red Cedar, Juniperus virginiana. I claim ‘began’, as I implanted the young plant with Kishu shimpaku, as well as afterwards just the reduced fifty percent of the trunk was Red Cedar.


As well as think it or otherwise. Below’s where it began.

Below’s component of what Michael needed to claim regarding this: This Japanese Maple ‘Beni-Kawa’ has a fragile climbed shade to the branches. It’s a refined clean of shade that might quickly be upstaged by pot shade. As well as perhaps this peaceful red shade one of the most crucial attribute of the tree. We wish to see it. As well as we need to beware not to eliminate it.


The Blaze of Fall Sweetly Burns, with a title like that you would certainly assume I was shed in a rhyme by Tennyson. I was just looking at a tree in my lawn.


Creeping Plant Maple Bunjin on Rock, we’ll allow Michael represent himself: I accumulated this tree regarding 5 years back, as well as placed it in a baby room pot to recuperate from the indignity. It was deep in the rear of the bonsai lawn, virtually failed to remember (John, my pupil, guarantees me it’s been sprinkled a minimum of every September), as well as monthly approximately I have actually believed, ‘Truly need to do something with that said …’ Today we had some added filth available as well as this make-up was the outcome.


Arizona Alder in Unusual Container: This growing was initially made up by Oregon bonsai musician Greg Brenden. The container is a concrete water meter cover, extending the borders of what could hold a plant. We have actually been urging a kusamono-like wildness to its design because getting it some years back.
