Before I start writing, I think about my audience. I try to answer, who am I writing this post for? This week’s post is for the Bnut audience.


I love when people share photos and ask for help or feedback, but all too often the photos are difficult to see.

I wrote this post hoping it will help those who want to solicit feedback on trees, but are not posting the photos well enough to get the feedback they desire.

Hinoki Cypress is the tree that started it all for me. I remember seeing them in old magazines and thinking “I have to have one!”. Here’s a look at a field grown Hinoki I got from Eisei-en.

I just finished another great weekend at Bjorns. A lot people ask me about taking classes at Eisei-en. My latest post tries to answer all the questions!


I also spent Saturday & Sunday working this massive One Seed Juniper. I’m pretty stoked with the result. (It was a team effort for sure!)

Up today with a post on bonsai design. Most people around here are probably familiar with David De Groot’s principles of Bonsai Design. Unfortunately, I don’t think many copies are available. I figured I could try and share some of my thoughts on my blog. Enjoy!

I seem to recall that DeGroot has a new edition of his book in the works. (I hope so)

He should. It’s a fantastic book. I’m so glad I own one. It’s the only book I go back to again and again.

I've thoroughly enjoyed doing these interviews. Sara is an absolute legend in American bonsai pottery. She was awesome to talk to...hope you enjoy!

I’ve been wanting to start a blog for a few years now. I have tried but I don’t want to pay for a server and a domain. Do you pay a fee and what builder did you use ?
