Evan Pardue of Underhill bonsai creates a bald cypress forest with a very interesting feature

[BillsBayou]

Evan Pardue is the nursery manager at Underhill bonsai. He has trained with many great artists. In this video, he creates a bald cypress forest. The number one tree becomes numbered two trees when he cuts it in half.

There's a BNutter who comes in near the middle. He and the nursery assistant, Gavin, are willing to risk their digits for this forest. I love seeing people use the King Arthur Lancelot carving wheel correctly.

Pretty cool. I’d have liked to put a few more trees in there, but maybe he didnt have any more.

He emphasized the prime number in tree in a forest. He had a 7th tree to add but left the forest with 6 trees…wonder if he ever added the 7th.

Hey, I was the old fart in the green shirt helping him hold the tree while he cut it in half. A couple of buddies and I were at the nursery shopping for trees and Evan called me over to help him. I had no idea what he was doing and was surprised that he split the tree completely in half!

Underhill has several acres of trident maples, bald cypress, water elm and junipers in the ground getting some very nice trunk size. By now, he should have tridents with 5" plus bases and bald cypress with 2"-4" bases.

It got confusing with the 2fr. I counted 5 out of his possible 7. It'll be interesting to see the follow up on this.

The 6th tree is behind the left half tree…two groups of three. Sure liked how he divided the biggest cypress and shaped both halves.
