As you can see, not much updating here. I have found a "bonsai album" where I can put my pictures and write down notes on my trees. So that is what I have done this summer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://andrewnicolle.com/all_apps/bonsai-album-for-pc">Bonsai album here.</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So now I save my notes in this album, and will probably not post anything more in this blog. Blogging was interesting, but mostly in the beginning!</div>

I am very happy to get this aspen tree in a bonsai pot for the first time. I have had it for long, always only in a plastic bowl or something similar. I think this pot was not too bad for the tree.</div>

In the bonsai society we were making pots earlier this spring, and these are my creations. (One is missing in the picture.) I wanted to try different shapes and styles, all the time aware I can't make anything "professional"...</div>

This one was painted with manganese dioxid. I made the surface rough, then painted with the oxide and washed away most of it before the pot was burnt again. I thought the dark colour would stay only or mostly in the crevices, like a pattern, but the result is more evenly dark coloured. Darker than it looks in the picture.</div>

Finally an aspen with two trunks. Perhaps I will keep both trunks and use this as a twin-trunk, or perhaps I will just keep the left one, which is more interesting than the right one.</div>

Putting these three in pots is the only out-door potting I have done so far this year. I really must start lifting my other bonsai from the ground and repotting soon, for the spring is coming so quickly!</div>

<i>PS. TV-programmet "Träden berättar" var ju inte riktigt så spännande som jag önskade att det kunde ha varit... tyckte jag. Jodå jag gillade berättelserna om de två platanerna, men innehållet skulle egentligen bara ha räckt till en kvarts kortfilm... Det kändes löjligt när man fick höra samma historia berättas om igen av en ny person, och det hände flera gånger i filmen! </i><br />

Ikväll ska jag se <a href="http://www.svt.se/traden-berattar/">Träden berättar</a> på Kunskapskanalen. Har ingen aning om det är något bra, det vet man ju inte förrän man har sett. Det ska vara en hel serie med fem avsnitt, jag hoppas på något intressant!</div>

I have been looking at my variegated ficus, hating how straight and boring it is. <i>See the picture below from one year ago.</i> Why should I make a tree like that? But now I have decided I must change it, I will change the front. In the picture above you see the new front. I have cut the tree shorter and it is much more natural and alive. Now I like it again! Next time I repot it, it will also be put in the right place in the pot.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I have got two plants of this species. The thinner and taller one is an air layer of the first one. The first one has never had any flowers. It is probably not very suitable for these trees to live the sort of life it has to live in my home: indoors a long time of year, probably too dark, then outdoors in the summer, probably too cold then. Overwintering in the garage.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jag har två plantor. Den som jag toppat med jämna mellanrum för att den inte skulle bli hög och smal - den blommar inte, och har aldrig gjort det heller. Bara den andra, som är en luftavläggare av den första, den har blommat tidigare, och alltså i år. Som om blommorna inte kan bildas på de där förkortade grenarna.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Att försöka göra bonsai av den här växten är jättesvårt, menar jag. Varför jag sådde den en gång och trodde att det skulle gå var för att det stod så i frökatalogen. "Lämplig till bonsai" eller "vanlig som bonsai" eller hur det nu uttrycktes. En lögn är det i alla fall. Men den är vida spridd. Frön till judasträd säljs med en bild av en rosablommande azalea-bonsai:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a picture often used to sell seeds of Cersis siliquastrum! But it is a tree of a totally different species, an azalea, which should be obvious to most people. (But naturally not to enthusiastic beginner-bonsaiists!) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Det här är bilden som förekommer runt om i världen i samband med frön till judasträd (Cersis siliquastrum).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Varning alltså! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hur duktig bonsaiodlare du än är, hur bra övriga förutstättningar du har vad det gäller klimat eller odlingsföhållanden - du kommer ändå aldrig att få ett sånt här träd av ett judasträd. För det här är ju en azalea.</div>

Views change around my house from day to day depending on the weather. Also my trees are beginning to change - to show signs of life. I mean my garage trees.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My maples had a hard time last summer and were frozen when we had a really cold night in June. Yes I did write about it <a href="http://bonsiary.blogspot.se/2015/07/kan-man-anvanda-vide-som-bonsai.html">here</a>. The three maples are now 1) one super-tree, picture above - leaves sprouting out, 2) one hesitating, I can see only a few leaves but think it will live, and 3) one that does not show any signs of life at all yet.</div>

Finally today, Friday. It was so warm during the day yesterday that the snow melted from the trees. (To the right in the picture are the same spruces as in the previous picture.) From one day to another it changes from looking like mid-winter to looking like spring!</div>

The winter is not a completely bonsai-free time of year. In January I was in Belgium together with other Swedish bonsai friends to visit the big bonsai event Noelander's Trophy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When we planned the trip I had in my memory the <a href="http://bonsiary.blogspot.se/2013/02/noelanders-trophy.html">last time we were there, in 2013</a>. This year everything was so much bigger, so much more!!! I was not prepared for the large, almost unlimited variety of pots and tools and books and everything... I didn't bring a large enough bag to take very much home with me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This time it was not allowed to take pictures of the exhibition trees, like I did the last time. So this is my only picture of the exhibition. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There were many lovely trees of course. One funny thing: The winner tree of the Noelander's Trophy looked so much the same as the winner from 2013 that first I thought it was the same tree. I had to look at my old pictures to really understand it was not!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

These pictures below are from the demonstration:</div>

He did not decide a front for the tree, instead made it with two fronts, so the owner would be able to make his own decision. But as far as I understood, this side of the finished tree is the front he himself would prefer. And the winding movement is interesting, I can admit that!</div>

This is my aspen bonsai (ok, prebonsai). It is still in a plastic container, but I am going to try and get a pot for it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am in need of a lot of pots!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
There is no great story about this tree, it comes from a forest in the area nearby. I have not done very much shaping, mostly kept it - as is my habit...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But instead I have taken pictures of a group of large aspen trees that I pass every now and then when I'm driving around in my work. For a long time I have been thinking "Those look like old and interesting trees, I should stop and take a closer look some day." Now I have done that.</div>

They grow just beside the road on a slope. There are two old buildings beside them. I didn't know anything about them until my college told me this story:<br />

One of the two old buildings was once a small shop! The oldest part (the timber part, closest in this picture) of it is from the 1700s.</div>

The other building is a small red house. There has also been a third house, a larger living house between these two.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
In the beginnig of the twentieth century a family lived here with many children. The woman had a garden behind the shop-house where she growed white cabbage.</div>
<br /><div style="text-align: center;">
She planted the aspens around her garden. So they are about a hundred years old. Not particularly old for a treee really.</div>

Old aspens have a high nature value in Sweden. They are good for insects and birds. The modern forestry favors pine and spruce, so old specimens of aspens are fewer and fewer in the landscape. There are large areas with young aspens but the large populations of moose and roe deer keep them from growing up.</div>

Some fifteen years ago, the owners wanted to take down these aspens. They were concerned about the old shop-house and wanted to save it from being crashed by a falling tree. They hired a forest-machine to make the tree-felling. Then, when the machine was already there and they were about to cut down the big trees, suddenly a wood-pecker flew out from a hole in one of the trees. That made the felling impossible! If there was a wood-pecker in the tree, it was forbidden to cut it down. The aspen group is now protected for nature reasons. Moss and mushroom, birds and insects, they have a refuge!</div>

I
participated in the workshop with Takahiro Mori on Saturday. I had
brought this pine, seen here from two different sides. It has a nice
trunk with rounded curves, but an ugly root. (Very common among my trees
collected from rocky areas!) At the moment it is growing almost
horizontally. I have never been able to decide what to do with it.</div>

First
I was instructed to clean the tree, take away all old needles. On each
tip only a small tassel of needles is left. Mori put the tree in a box
to look at it more upright.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wired the tree while Takahiro worked on the other trees. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then
he put it up in an upright position like this again. There is a
straight part in the middle of the trunk which he means should look
shorter if the tree is positioned so the straight part is pointing
backwards rather than to the right or left.</div>

Finally
he put the branches in shape, and this is the result. A bunjin tree.
The pot is standing on one side, so when I repot the tree next spring I
have to put the tree in this upright position. The ugly root is supposed
to be taken away. In the long term...</div>

Here are some pictures from the exhibition from this past weekend. All trees belong to members of the Swedish Bonsai Society. A few of them are mine! (None of these small ones.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't have a picture of every tree in the exhibition, here are only a few.</div>

We asked Mr Mori to give suggestions for improvements. He gave many suggestions for improvements but mostly on how to display bonsai, how to choose the right accent plants and so on. Not as much on the shape of the trees.</div>

<br />
... but only one ficus! That was a species that Mr Mori had never heard of. He thought this tree should have a higher stand. (I agree on that - this solution was only better than the alternatives available.)</div>

For my twin trunk pine he suggested I should turn the tree a little, and I can agree on that too. I will do it when I repot it next year.</div>

This pine is mine though. I got the feeling he wasn't very impressed by this tall and thin tree, he only said it should have a shallower pot. He can not know, of course, that I am happy it has a pot at all.</div>

Neither was he impressed at all by the grey wood I had put under the pot. I like it very much!</div>

Another of my pines, this one too is tall and thin (and has the same kind of old wood under the pot). I have had an idea for some time that I should take away the long branch on the left side, but I havent really dared to do it. What if somebody should say "you damaged the tree". But it would make the tree more of a proper bunjin, and the direction of the tree would be more obvious. Now Mr Mori suggested the same idea. So guess what. I did it today. I took away not only one but three branches. Now the tree looks like this:</div>

I have had a full bonsai-weekend! The Swedish Bonsai Association has had its annual meeting and this year it was our turn in Umeå to arrange the meeting. It has been a full schedule from Friday to Sunday, putting up the exhibition, following the workshop and demonstration.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With some help from the <a href="http://eu-japanfest.org/n-english/">EU-Japan Fest Committee</a> we had got <a href="http://bonsaimori.jp/about.html">Takahiro Mori</a> to demonstrate for us. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are pictures from the demonstration. The demonstration tree was a spruce, collected from the forest by one of our members. It is growing downwards like this. Mr Mori turned it around to look at it from different angles. He could not decide which side should be the front of the tree.</div>

I have had this tree some years but not given it a proper pot. Until today!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It may not be the perfect pot, size, colour, shape etcetera, but better than the homemade concrete pot that I have used until now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know it is also not the perfect time for repotting, but I have only lifted the tree from the old pot and put it down in the new one. They are the same size.</div>

I have not been only to the wild nature of Swedish Lapland this summer, but also a trip to Stockholm.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There I could enjoy trees of sorts that don't grow in my home area, like all the large oaks. This looks like a dead tree, but it has still a few live branches. It's called "The oak of Karl XII" - king of Sweden 1697-1718, born in 1682. The sign by the tree tells me he played under this oak when he was a child!<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The tree stands by the Karlberg Palace.</div>

I have to follow my habit to look at trees as soon as I'm away from home! This time I have been to an area close to the Swedish high mountains. <a href="http://www.lansstyrelsen.se/norrbotten/Sv/djur-och-natur/skyddad-natur/naturreservat/arjeplog/Pages/hornavan-sadvajaure.aspx">(Hornavan-Sädvajaure.) </a>(My friends were mostly interested in fishing, while I was looking at trees and plants...)</div>

July: The mosquitoes have come, it's difficult to be outside, I hate it.</div>

The picture above is some sort of a willow. Maybe it's not a perfect tree for bonsai, but guess what. I have discovered that there are hardly no perfect trees for bonsai. There are trees that work well for some people, but not for somebody else. There are trees that work well in one climate, but not in another.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For example, this willow has the negative characteristic that some branches always die in winter. (People usually say that about birch, but it isn't true for my birch!) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In return, the willow can stand the temperatures of this north Swedish climate, because it is totally native! It is now green and fresh.</div>

Here is the opposite:</div>

- My japanese maples. They were so green and vital in spring when I had them inside the house. They had survived the rat-attac and started to grow vigorously. Then I took them outside, and carried them inside every evening - until I decided summer had come and didn't want to carry pots in any more. Maybe we had summer according to the calender, but the temperature dropped to below zero one night and the leaves were destroyed on these trees. They probably think autumn has come and will not produce any new leaves this year ??? Except for these small reddish ones you can see...<br />
<br />
So these maples may be perfect for bonsai - but not for me.<br />
