Hello dear Bonsaianer,
my name is Jonas. I have been made aware of this forum via a recommendation from @Jelle.
I have been "doing" bonsai for a few years now, but have only started to systematically expand my knowledge in the field in the last few months. By the way, this also includes my English bonsai vocabulary. Therefore, please forgive me the one or other translation or stupid questions.
My actual trees are a mixed collection from these what is more or less possible on my balcony
1x azalea - estimated 25 years old
1x rhododendron - nursery material prepared alone
4x 2 year old cuttings of a maple from my neighbour
2x chinese elm
5x japanese larch as 2-4 years
1x sophora japonica seedings
1x red maple seedlings
1x fucientee
1x spruce from the DIY store and my oldest plant, including all the beginner's mistakes you can make
1x young yamadori oak
The azalea was a givet and I had the first Time to Think about a good winter preparation for one of my trees.
Really got hooked on bonsai I was after enchanted by the blossom of a larch in spring at Werner Busch`s Bonsai Werkstatt.
Mr Busch said: "Only bonsai maniacs really see something like that!”
Shortly afterwards, I took a course with his son. In addition to learning about the care of my trees, I was able to learn so much about the trees that the other course participants had brought with them. Such great trees that you usually only see in YouTube reports. Each one unique. I was thrilled and since then I have been thinking more carefully about which tree I would like to design next time. Chinese juniper is one absolutely exciting tree because of its flexibility and the excellent deadwood possibilities. However, I would prefer one in Chokkan with very little deadwood details along the trunk.
Here in the forum I registered because I simply wanted to dive much deeper into the subject Bonsai and got a recommendation from @leatherback.
I would like to ask you for advice on my latest design at the rhododendron.
I have tried to reduce the new branches to 2 and in the long term the tree should be placed in the pot at a slight angle. I want to give the impression that it is growing on the slope of a mountain. The wirework is still not so good as it could be and I used wound paste on the tree for the first time. But all in all what do you think?
I'm exited look ahead to the discussions here in the forum and am excited to meet you, your trees and the great exchange!
For me, bonsai is part of a great wabisabi lifestyle.
Bests, Jonas

I’ve been “hit.”
