It’s great to be back! – John Hanby Bonsai

This month I have managed to fit in some private classes. These before and after pictures are from one of the classes. The trees had been growing really well so it was nice to be able to do a bit of pruning and get them back in to shape.

An impressive and substantial Japanese White Pine

The main branches are thickening up well.

Lonicera Nitidia with an unusually heavy trunk for this variety.

Now you can start to see the outline of the tree’s future canopy.

Another small tree, this time a Mugo Pine.

A powerful image with the long low branch.

It’s surprising what a difference a little bit of selective pruning can achieve. All these trees are now back on course for the rest of the season.
