Interpretation of the fairy-tale-style (FTS)


Referring to the invention of Mr. Walter Pall, I tried myself in a bit different designing
of a linden-clump.
Well, this tree seems to be fairly ugly, some might say.
But (imho) the coating of time will create a more plausible creation.
Germany's oldest tree is a 1000-years old linden, consisting actually of the four last
remaining parts of the former trunc.
Decaying is part of life  ...

nice_years_upbeat

The first highlight of the bonsai-year is the journey  to noelanders trophy in belgium with my companiens.

Our annual getaway was a real fun.
Not only the experience of the terrific exhibition and traders area, but we had the great honor as well
to enjoy the gala-dinner with no one less than Walter Pall!
He is such an amusing colloquist with a sack full of anecdotes.
'Always great to be in his company ....

Winter Sale 2016

This winter I sold two trees.
And again it is very gratifying, that two very good bonsai-companions bought the trees.
I have often been asked why I am selling all those trees.
Well, the answer is qiute simple: I have got too many trees.
I mean too many to care for, since they are standing remotely from my flat.
I prefer to have a small amount of trees but different species and among them just my favorites.
A third linden (the five-trunker) is on sale this winter as well.
If this tree will not be sold soon, I will re-edit the design and keep it.
Let us see ...



And this one is on sale ... :

Tilia_2 update

And here an update as well.

- The tree looks almost overloaded by the amount of twigs.
- I have rarely seen such a number of buds on a tree .
- Sorry, in real life the tree is an absolut stunner.
- Of course there must be done some selectiv cuttings of branches and new shoots
- I think it was the right decision to cut away the lower branches

Ulmus_1 update


Well, the ramification is much better now.
I just cut back the longest shoots wich were standing out too long of the silhoutte.

The mountain-linden after styling.




 

- The ramification has to be developed.
- The aim was until now to thicken the branches
  and in this regard I am absolutely satisfied with the esults so far.
- This  Linden will again be offered on a selling-platform this winter.
  I simply have got too much trees ... ;-)

Current pictures of the Ace of spades - Linden
- Just a raw cutback of some needless twigs had been done.
- The overall view is becoming more harmonical.
- Branches increased thickness.
- Ther are lots of buds to creat a fine ramification.
