Large-sized bonsai from BABA’s 32nd annual exhibit

March 14, 2014 by Jonas Dupuich

The larger bonsai displayed at the Bay Area Bonsai Associates’ 32nd annual exhibit filled the standalone displays in the exhibit hall. Each tree was shown with stand and accent and sometimes scroll.

    Jonas:

    Thank you for these excellent images. I especially liked seeing a Redwood Tree that actually had a strong resemblance to a tree.The 1st Atlas Cedar is extraordinary…..is this a Jim Gremel tree?

    Best regards,

    Hi Daniel – good question. I’m not sure, though both cedars look as though they could have come from Jim.

    the hokkaidos are interesting to me. i’ve never had good luck with them- the examples i’ve had sloughed off major branches. i ended up just avoiding them all together. these look old and well developed. is there some green alchemy of which i am unaware?

      Good question Brad – I know others have had the same problem but I haven’t grown enough of them to know the cause. They remain a popular variety so I know it’s possible to keep them happy, I just don’t know the particulars beyond good soil and careful watering.
