Hi. I'm a complete beginner.
Can someone post links for photographs of training a Bonsai tree from start (ie buying seedlings or planting seeds) to finish? (The tree ready for display). I have difficulty visualising some of these steps, and although I've seen photos of wired trees, for example, there usually isn't a photo of what it looked like before. I'm not at all sure what that would teach you. First, MOST bonsai are not started from seed or seedlings. Many of our best bonsai were collected from the wild as mature trees; others are started from larger nursery plants (10 gallon pots, etc.). I suggest you go to our gallery. Access it from the link below. There, starting in the "potensai" (potential bonsai) gallery you can see some beginning trees, and in our "main" gallery, some older trees that are approaching the "finished" stage -- though we like to say that a bonsai is never really "finished." Next, try books. They're still better than the WWW, since you can hold them in your hand and study them without going blind. Almost all bonsai books have start-to-"finish" picture sequences of wiring. Basic books you might look for -- at your bookstore or the local public library -- would be by Harry Tomlinson, Herb Gustafson, Colin Lewis -- all of whom have posted here at one time or another, but not lately -- or Peter Chan. I'd recommend you buy a book by one of these authors and study it hard. Another good source of information and help is a local bonsai club. You can find lists of local clubs at the ABS web site (www.absbonsai.org) or the BCI site (www.bonsai-bci.com). ************************************************** ****************************** ++++Sponsored, in part, by Ken Rutledge++++ ************************************************** ****************************** -- The IBC HOME PAGE & FAQ: http://www.internetbonsaiclub.org/ -- +++++ Questions?

Thanks Dennis. The demonstrations were exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks for the links, folks. I particularly like Reiner's site.

Thanks Henrik. Again, that was just what I was looking for. The "time-lapse"
pictures in the "Fallstudier" section were fascinating - some of them taken over a 12 year time span. A bit daunting, though. I'm at the stage in life where I consider anything with more than a ten-year guarantee to be a waste of money :-) George |
