Imperial Masterpiece
I am kinda' excited.I have ordered a bundle of Fagus Crenata and Korean Hornbeam from International Bonsai.
I was almost having second thoughts with my purchase and almost giving in that it was an impulse buy,but then my second issue of Bonsai Focus,Jan/feb 2013 came in the mail and there is the perfect article on how to make mini-forests from simple material(like 7" seedlings).And wouldn't you know it ,the two examples they give are with Fagus Crenata and Korean Hornbeam.
I feel so fortunate to have subscribed when I did to Bonsai Focus cause' the first issue I recieved did an amazing job of providing direction with how to proceed in the 2nd year of my zelkova brooms from seed project.It is almost like the first two issues of the magazine had parts that were tailored to my bonsai interests specifically.I am really excited for spring.Anyway,I plan on posting the progress of these two endevours in the appropriate threads I have already created,'I'm gonna make brooms' for the zelkova's and this thread here for the mini-forests.Sorry I can't make links.
thanks for reading.
*we will see how the 'Turczaninovii's' do as opposed to the 'coreana's' in mini-forest setting because I purchased the Turczaninovii's(hornbeam).
* I imagine I could do some leaf cutting(like in half or something) on the larger leaves of the 'turczaninov' hornbeams
