SUISEKI - WINTERWORKS

BLACK IS BACK!

No changes in temperatures outside. Three weeks bellow the zero. I slowly understanding fighters for the global warming. In the meantime I prepare some black bazalt rock for suiseki. 

Too cold auttside..

More than 3 weeks, outside temperatures are from -1°C to -13°C. Too cold to do anything outside.   
But a new expotable is always good to have.

WINTER MORNING...

Available trees...

Nakon desetak godina, prvi borovi prebačeni su iz rasadnika u posude. Tijekom decembra dodan je još i lagani završni stajling na periferiji. Sad samo čekamo proljeće, da krenu svijeće, otvore se naznačeni povratni i latentni pupovi , sve se zazeleni ....

This three P. Silvestris are available. Interested can contact me by the Email

After ten years, first pines were transferred into the pots. During December they are lightly wired with final styling on periphery. Now - just waiting for the spring to see how candles sprouting, return and latent buds are opening, and all start to get green colours....

Stajling, stajling....

     Iako se veli da se u godini kad se presađuje ne žica, polako pokušavam sposložiti stvari. Jednog po jednog dopelam doma iz rasada. Od niskih temperatura gotovo svi imaju žućkaste iglice. No nakon par dana na 10°C u zimskom vrtu polako dobijaju lijepu tamnozelenu boju. Znači da su živi, zdravi i da im je dobro. Svakome ožicam po jednu granu i ostavim ga na miru dok opet nakon deset drugih ne dođe na red sa drugom granom. Znam da svi imaju jako dobru korijenovu balu formiranu već u rasadu.
Većina jakog savijanja obavljena je u rasadu. Sad treba uglavnom sve malo zategnuti gore, dole, levo, desno.... sposložiti periferiju, uglavnom jedno i dvogodišnji prirast.
Većina ih je uglavnom malo previsoka za dobar bonsai, ali kao dvorišno drvo biti će daleko bolji i kvalitetniji od velike većine uvoznih " niwakija".
