Made this quickshot of my new J. sabina with my mobile, after the first styling-session.
Sorry for the bad quality. 'Have to put up my photo-equipment to do better fotos.
According to the design, I tried on a classic, maybe neo-classic, mainstream or whatever style ...
At present I am very captivated of the japanese styling-approach ...
And, as always, the tree looks by far more "3d-ish" in nature, than on this particular bad foto ...
Bought this one on the trophy in Genk/Belgium this year.
A Juniperus Sabina-yamadori. I consider this material as quite promising on the one hand,
but very difficult on the other hand.
This because of the lower, very elongated branch with almost no green on it.

One day my wife and me went through a tree-nursery in our hood.
My wife suddenly discovered a nice looking Chamacyparis obtusa nana.
She asked me to style this tree for a bonsai.
Well, through a few detours this Hinoki finaly found its way into my garden.
In January 2022 I styled this tree as shown in posting of 22th Jan. of 2022 on this blog.
In April 2023 I enhanced the design of the tree a bit.

No major changes so far. The tree has still to establish himself into his pot ...
I am satisfied, that the tree made it so well through the wintermonth and the relativly cold springtime.
Now I am waiting for new grows. We need strength in that Chamacyparis obtusa ...
Here a short update of my oldest Bonsai.
After a long, long time this tree is almost ready to be maintained just by using cutting techniques.
cutting techniques. The pot could be a bit larger.
So it went on with the little twisted yew. I have to admit that the overall design is a bit boring
at that stage of development yet. The crown appeares too routinely and does not suit well to the
contorted trunc. I wil fix that in autumn this year.
