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.
