Happy #ThrowbackThursday! Here's a wonderfully old #yamadori pitch pine #bonsai collected from New York state in the 80's by Dan's long-time student and now on display at @elandangardens I originally photographed this tree in 2017 when I was helping to prepare it for the @pacificbonsaimuseum's North American "Natives" exhibit. Link in bio for that old article. Bonus (arguably better) pic in there of this species' old-wood budding ability that I referred to on Tuesday. #Seattle #Bremerton #gardening #bonsaitree #elandangardens #gnarlybonsai #Pine #pinus

Today's #TeaserTuesday highlights a unique skill of the Pitch Pine - it profusely buds back on old wood! This species is a bonsai artist's dream as it can always be counted on to give you limitless options for branching. I originally took this picture when I was preparing this tree for the @pacificbonsaimuseum "Natives" exhibit, as this species is native to the central and northern Appalachian mountains. Anyone over those parts, I highly recommend adding this species to your collection!

How do you know when it's safe to repot and root prune your bonsai? The answer is you talk to your trees and ask them! But if you're not crazy like me, you can read my newest blog post (link in bio) to learn too. #bonsai #repot #repotting #buds #spring #maple #japanesemaple #bonsailife #บอนไซ #seattle #Bremerton #elandangardens #gnarlybonsai #pruning #nature #gardening #socialdistancing

I'm keeping today's #tbt short and sweet. This is one of the many seed-grown Japanese Black Pines on display @elandangardensbonsai . It took about 60 years for this tree to get to this point, but you can get a decent #bonsai in much less time if you know some tricks! I'll be writing an article about that process in the coming weeks. #bonsaiaddict #Seattle #elandangardens #gnarlybonsai #Bremerton #ry2tree2 #JBPbonsai #บอนไซ #seedgrown #bonsaitree #socialdistancing
