ABIES COREANA

Ovu korejsku jelu pronašao sam u jednom rasadniku onako, malo zabačenu sa strane jer je imala lagano iskrivljeno deblo pa nije baš bila roba prve klase. Malo sam se natezao i dobio popust od 30 % za loš materijal. Kako je baš bilo proljeće, slijedila je provjera bale, prikraćivanje nepotrebno previše izduženog korijenja i presadnja u okruglu prihvatnu posudu. Prošle su dvije vegetacije. Ovog proljeća je dobila prvu bonsai posudu. Povratni rast je lagano krenuo, a ja polako krećem sa oblikovanjem.

I found this korean fir in a nursery, a bit removed from the rest since its trunk was a bit twisted and it was not first-class goods. I haggled a bit and recieved a 30% discount for lower quality material. It was springtime, so the root ball had to be checked, the redundantly elongated roots had to be trimmed and it had to be transplanted into a round starter container. Two vegetation periods have passed since then and it was transplanted into the first bonsai pot this spring. Dormant buds have started to break after pruning and I am starting with formation.
