In this Bonsai video we transform a Cedar of Lebanon tree from raw material into a Bonsai. I am joined in this video by Bonsai artist Attila Csintalan!
I think the Cedar of Lebanon works great as a Bonsai because it grows these beautiful dense clusters of short, dark green needles and horizontal branches. This makes it very easy to create a miniature tree that also looks ancient in a short amount of time. Plus, it's not too much of a fast-grower, which makes it easier to shape and take care of. This one reminds me of Larch!
We cover the tools used when working on this tree, as well as various important techniques used in Bonsai such as creating deadwood, Jins, and Shari. This involves removing the tree's bark in different ways. As we progress, we discuss the available design options, providing insights into our thought process when crafting a design and selecting the front of the Bonsai, with particular emphasis on achieving a natural appearance.
Of course, there are numerous approaches to Bonsai, and this tree could have been styled in various ways. We would love to hear your ideas and thoughts on this!
Thank you to Attila for having me at his place! If you would like to see more of Attila's Garden, check out: A Tour of Attila's Garden: • A Tour of Attila's Bon...
