The white mulberry Morus alba is an essence particularly vigorous, suitable for bonsaizzata and also offers a beautiful flowering and fruiting an equally magnificent.
The specimen in question came into my possession in January 2008 and about to face the awakening of spring in need of an aggressive disassembly, to eliminate the many faults of branching that had developed over many years of cultivation in the field.

have begun in Saltara various branches ..
















examining every part of the plant I found in a dry part of the trunk and I decided to create a loop, so as to have a focal point of interest instead of a big scar difficult to heal in time.
With the use of power tools that I carried out the digging-through, and I have protected the cutting edge of healing with adhesive containing hormones.







Finally, I proceeded to carry the repotting to remove all the earth's field and in the home plant in a pot with Akadama not final, and a small amount of pumice lapilli .

Gay Groping On The Train

Hemispheric yamadori



hemispheric The juniper is a bonsai plant is very rare in Italian.

lives in the wild on the slopes of Etna, at an altitude varying from 1500m to 3000mt. He creeping habit, carpets the slopes of the volcano and well in arid soils composed almost exclusively of lava stones and earth.

This plant was collected by a famous Italian bonsai in 2004 and came into my possession thanks to my coach Enrico Savini, just in December 2007.

The juniper in question is a beautiful movement and a vein of very mature and dry naturally, problems created by erosion of wind and the sun during his life on the slopes of the volcano.

The first step I made was centered in these points of merit and value in giving a primary setting crown.














The deep vein was cleaned and then polished with oil to bring out.



The dry zone has not been the slightest touch, so beautiful and natural as it was already so I just applied the liquid jin, to protect and bleaching of the area just died.



















areas of dry treated acquire the color white, which will determine a great contrast to the living area ...























Finally I start setting the plant after a careful ligation of each branch in order to avoid breaking too much stress in this essence that could be very dangerous for the plant.



This is the final result.

















Now the plant is in cultivation and the next step will be put into proper home potted bonsai , that highlights the great movement of this plant ... There will still be plenty of time to choose it as the operation is scheduled in March 2009.
