Tatsumaki 竜巻), this amazing One Seed Juniper is the pinnacle of bonsai art, not only in size but also in character and quality. Enjoy!

    Thanks for all the great comments! Btw, I'm 6'6" tall, so that should give some perspective on this tree's size.

      198 cm for those not from US.
      Sweet lil tree ;) Magnificent transformation!
      As for the Yamadori part: wasn't that the original way of having bonsai in general? Digging it up and potting and starting to clip and grow it to gain the wanted result. I do grow trees from seed too (or buy nursery stock) , but for now my best ones are the collected ones.

    Amazing. I live in central NM and this winter I collected two struggling trees off my own land--a pinion with needle scale, and a one seed juniper that was growing in the middle of a sheep pen that would otherwise be trampled to dust. I've repotted them and i'm excited to style them at some point next fall.
