hello, this yew was growing in my garden, and it had a good nebari so i decided to transform it into a Bonsai.
I collected it in 2005 ->
A year after, i replanted it in the ground, to make it get bigger in the trunk.
In 2014 it didn't grow very much, as you can see (9 years after collecting) because of a lack of care. The weak point was the lack of movement & tapper in the trunk, so i decided to make jins and a shari on a side of the trunk (to make it more interesting) ->
And a ten jin ->
By chance, a slight movement of the trunk is appearing, because the live vein developps and makes a curve (2016) ->
In 2017 i replanted it in another garden, in Britany, with better soil and with the hope it will grow & thicken much more ->
1 year later, the tree is happy in its new location : as you can see, the foliage is more thick and plump. The base is still growing and enlarging ->
In 2019, it grows ->
The seaside weather gives the shari and deadwood a better patina ->
