...how about his trees?

[AlainK]

Well, his trees are not bound for Kokufu, but he's trying his best.

A root-over-rock maple from a cutting made in the 1990s:



A Malus sylvestris from a seed collected in a nearby forest:



A Cotoneaster horizontalis, a "bird's seedling":



Etc.

Fantastic

Yupp, there they are. It would be nice to see more.

 

[Les]

Very elegant!

 

[AlainK]

It would be nice to see more.

That's a friendly comment, thank you for the nice words.

I really appreciate you showing your trees, and I've often taken good advice from you - as long as we don't talk politics or religion. So, ley's bury the war hatchet shall we?... Let's cut the crap, OK?

We live on different "islands" but I'm sure that we basically share the same values.

All three trees are fabulous. However....I particularly like viewing the trees in the second and third photos...the Malus Sylvester is and the Cotoneaster horizontalis. I like the creativity and balance of the trees. Mighty fine!

I especially like the Malus, it has a real "War of The Worlds" vibe!

 

[jeremy_norbury]

Great

Yup......definitely!

 

[Rob_phillips]

They all have great shape I like very much

 

[Nybonsai12]

Nice maple over rock, what's the variety?

 

[Velodog2]

I would quite possibly trade my entire collection for that malus, except that it wouldn't be a fair trade for you!

 

[TomB]

The apple is looking really good Alain. Terrific movement.

 

[Milly]

Nice trees Alain, especially the apple.
That Eric Clapton CD cover sticking out there is still one of my favorites.

 

[Soldano666]

Excellent

 

[Solange]

Never, ever, let clapton near your trees. He took cocaine and shot the sheriff and him and Layla are planning on taking them to the white room after midnight. Your trees will be tears in heaven in no time!

 

[Leo in N E Illinois]

Wow, I really like the elegance of the Malus. The others are quite nice. the Malus is strikingly elegant.

 

[Tycoss]

I thought I didn't like or want malus bonsai. Then I saw this one.

 

[AlainK]

Nice maple over rock, what's the variety?

It's plain Acer palmatum palmatum species.

And thanks for your encouraging comments: I should stick to bonsai discussions...

 

[sorce]

I should stick to bonsai discussions...

There is a BASE of goodness that you ARE, that some folks missed.

Same as they missed your trees!

I appreciate your spirit.

The trees too.

You have a distinct style.

I like it.
