Shimpaku windswept style Saikei, planted on red rock sandstones. This Shimpaku Juniper Saikei Bonsai features a 12 year old multi trunk tree grown from a cutting. It has been in wire training for 3 years to achieve this harmony with the stone grouping. Some training wires are in place. Appearing to brace against the wind this tree is rooted into the group of 7 stones, 5 are bonded together with a cavity in the center, where the main roots travel down into the pot and under the stones. This Tree has some roots that run between and under the stones. Moss has grown over the roots and between the stones. It was repotted the spring of 2018. It shows great vigor and is now being pinch trimmed to maintain the cloud form canopy. It stands 10 1/4 tall, from the bottom of the pots feet to the trees top. Its planted in a Korean red clay high quality unglazed pot. This pot was chosen to accentuate the shape and colors of the stones. The pot measures approximately 9 1/2 x 6 1/2 and measures 1 1/2 from the pots lip to the base of its feet. This arrangement was inspired by the landscapes I was exposed to while growing up in the southwestern US. Every winter I wire a few trees to begin the process of creating something Id seen during those times. This is a good representation of one of those many special places where nature has presented a story of struggle and survival, thus beauty. The Flat Irons in Boulder Colorado were truly my inspiration for this saikei. I have tended this tree from its beginnings, as a cutting from its parent tree.
