Ned Lycett - Deadwood Bonsai

[misfit11]

I went out to Ned Lycett's place to look at his stock today and possibly buy one of his collected Sierra Junipers. He has a side business called, Deadwood Bonsai, where he sells his collected material; mostly Sierras. I had bought this one back in 2012 from him but it sadly ended up in the wood pile. May he rest in peace

He showed me a bunch of his newly collected material from this past fall including this monster. Unfortunately, the picture doesn't do it justice for it's size or the amazing deadwood and live vein that it has. My eleven year old, Simon stood in for scale to give you an idea. He said it took him and another guy to get it out of there. He estimated it at 300 lbs and about 1000 years old. The pot this thing will need is probably going to require that he takes a second mortgage on his house!

That is an amazing tree, did you add a new tree to your collection?

No. I added two trees.

This Sierra Juniper

New Sierra

I'm super excited about this one! I bought this from Ned Lycett the REBS member who had collected it. It's got terrific movement and deadwood. It obviously lends itself to cascade / semi-cascade with an upper and lower apex. The finished tree will only be about a foot above the soil level...

And this Procumbens Nana

New Nana

I just bought this Procumbens Nana from Ned Lycett of Deadwood Bonsai. I wasn't really in the market for another Nana but I liked the tree and the price was reasonable. He mentioned it was one of his first trees. Most recently it has been styled by Mauro Stemberger but Ned didn't really like...
