First, let me be clear - this tree is far from what we call a "finished" bonsai. It needs at least two to three growing seasons and a lot of maturity before it will be showable. But because It caught my attention after some years of "laying" around in the garden - here is the story:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Pinus sylvestris was collected in local hills in 2009 (I think) and styled three years later. It is a quite big tree, now stands around 120 cm tall. As material was even bigger; It has a really old and attractive bark and some natural wounds from the harsh environment that it was growing in. The main problem of this material was a green mass which was on the far ends of long and leggy branches. It is a two-trunk tree. My first task was to find a front.</div>

One of possible solutions was also to cut a second trunk and work just on bigger one - there the movement is better. But I decided to go with front 3, keeping both trunks. </div>

Even though the tree has a really great bark (as I mentioned above) something else bothered me. If one look the tree from afar or just on photographs, everything is OK. But with closer look all misery of inner-crown is visible. And that I notice a lot on the internet, when some transformations of the trees are really great on photos, but it is almost impossible to do it without unnatural curving and crossing of the branches. The silhouette is great, bust structure is not. So, be careful when looking at photos! Seeing the tree in real is something completely different! </div>

So, after one year, I decided to completely restyle the tree. I cut all leggy and twisted branches and try to made a proper structure of the crown. It was no easy job, because the greenery was still far from the trunk, but in the end, I was way more satisfied with result than before.</div>

In the spring of 2017 I re-potted the tree again, this time in a more suitable round pot. As we know, pines don't like the frequent re-potting, so this time the tree didn't react well, but nevertheless In January of 2018 I decided to wire it again. Now I really like this tree and I'll try to bring it in great form in the next two seasons. A lot of sun and fertilizer, proper timing with pinching and the pine will look totally different. It still needs some buds closer to the trunk, but one can see the potential of this future bonsai. Meanwhile, I can still enjoy the great bark and natural shari, the rest will be done by time and proper care!</div>

Lately I dedicated some time also to filming and editing short films about my work in TORA atelier. Here is one example, with English subtitles, so I hope that also all my English speaking friends will be able to follow the work. Please don't forget to subscribe to TORA channel! Thanks for support!</div>

The 2017 was another intensive year. We in TORA International Bonsai School continued to build our collection, spread the bonsai knowledge, work on customer's trees. We also participated in many exhibitions around the Europe and gave some demonstrations. But our main focus was on trees which came to our atelier. Together with Gašper and TORA apprentice Samo, we worked on more than 200 trees. Thanks for trusting and supporting us! We hope that 2018 will be even more intensive! We wish a healthy and happy New Year to all!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
P.S.: This are just some examples of trees we worked on in 2017. Enjoy!</div>

Rok is an important bonsai collector; I am working on his collection for a little more than three years now. Some of his trees were already exhibited at major domestic and foreign exhibitions, some will be in the future. This two Japanese black pines are still in development ...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Pine No.1 came in to Rok's garden bare-rooted in March 2015 and it was planted in to a wooden box. During transport the top was broken, so the first task was to grow a new one.</div>

It is always difficult to take care of the trees in someone else's garden: trees aren't under control all the time, they become overgrown or in the worse case weak. But this pine was doing just fine - after two years it was in full growth, time for first intervention - some needle cutting, minor branch selection and other usual stuff:</div>

After first work on this tree it reacted vigorously, so in November was time for first styling. So, after three growing seasons of acclimatization we took this tree from Rok's garden and brought it to the TORA atelier. As always on big projects TORA's graduate student Gašper Gabrijel was a big help, and together we wired this beast:</div>

First styling is done. Next spring it will be re-potted in to the first bonsai pot, and then the work on the crown will began. We must work on ramification and needles reduction, but one can see what a big potential has this tree!</div>

And there is another tree with big potential - another big Japanese black pine. If the above one was imported directly from Japan, this one came to Rok's garden from German collector. In April 2014 the tree arrived in TORA atelier: not in the best condition, but with Gašper (he was an apprentice at that time and this tree was one of his first big projects) we managed to set a good future for this bonsai:</div>

After that, the tree was mainly in it's owners care, we just did a minor adjustment at our regular visits at Rok's garden. And this is the main reason, that tree still has a long needles and some minor faults. As I wrote above - it is very difficult to control the tree if it doesn't live in your garden. But nevertheless, the tree was healthy and strong - and this is the most important thing! </div>

Three years after first serious intervention, it was time for another step. Because of vigorous growth the pot became root-booted, but the re-potting in to a wider pot will be done in spring. For now we have done a complete re-wiring, we improved the structure of the branches and cut a lot of needles!</div>

The tree did a step further. Is more compact as it was, the needles are shorter, branches are in place. Now we'll wait for the spring and re-potting!<br />

I met this Pinus sylvestris for the first time in Rok's garden in spring 2015. It was potted in to a plastic container, full of weeds, branches were all leggy and badly twisted to achieve a 'virtual' compact look. The first step was repotting to check a root system. Tree reacted with strong growth and good health.</div>

A year later, in summer 2016 the tree was styled for the first time. I bring it into TORA shop, where we fully wired it. As you can see - after re-potting the tree really reacted well. We corrected all unnaturally twisted branches and made a new design. We cut the big right branch and turned it into a jin. </div>

The tree was returned to the owner; but instead in good shape one year later returned into the shop in neglected state: wire biting deeply into the bark, branches overgrown, the whole season was lost. This is another example of how quickly bonsai can do two steps back instead one forward. Well, we put it back to the right path! </div>

Once I already wrote about the dilemma - buy or not to buy a bonsai. Let me explain: for some people the only way of doing bonsai is collecting trees in the nature and then develop them into bonsai. Buying is not an option for them and they even consider this way as 'cheating' in some way. Let me be clear: for me buying bonsai is almost the same as collecting - one must find a tree that he or she likes and then somehow bring it to his or her garden. And now the proper work starts. If you don't know how to work with trees, then even the most expensive bonsai will be turned into the bush in relatively short amount of time. Here is one example:</div>
I wired this nice Pinus thunbergii three years ago and prepared it for exhibition. It was not quite ready yet, but customer wishes to exhibit it.<br />

So the pine was on the right way and with proper care could be in top form right now. With top form I mean: great ramification, the same amount and length of the needles all over crown. But when the tree was returned to the owner it was neglected: it lost one branch (luckily not so important one), some areas on the tree are too strong, the others too weak, also with wrong cutting of the candles some damage was done. Now the tree will need at least two seasons to be back on the right way .... Anyway, Pine was back in our atelier, graduate student of TORA school Gašper Gabriel did an excellent job wiring and styling it. </div>

Even though you buy a bonsai, you'll need a lot of knowledge to keep it in proper form. Or, in a season or two, you'll end with a bush on the shelves....</div>

Today I just want to show the story about the spruce from Peter's collection. He brought this tree into the shop in 2014. It is no easy material as all branches grow from upper-left side of the tree. The main feature is shari on the trunk which we want to incorporate into the final design.</div>

Three years after Peter came back. Now it was time to push the tree at least one step further! :-) So we turned the tree for a few degrees for better front, did a selection on branches for better structure and started wiring. The result was quite pleasant, but we weren't satisfied yet. So we decided to cut the lower part of right branch.</div>

With that the tree gain some dynamic, and we also managed to incorporate all nice elements of the tree into nice and logic design. So this is the result for now: elegant, dynamic spruce with an interesting story to tell. The spruce will rest over the winter and in spring Peter will re-pot it into the first bonsai pot!</div>

Sabina junipers are a very popular species in bonsai; this European native juniper has even more interesting growing pattern than Japanese Itoigawa. Twisted old trunks are really spectacular, the foliage isn't so compact and hard as Itoigawa's, but nevertheless one can achieve a really good definition also with Sabina. This is a Sabina juniper from Rok's collection, virgin Yamadori which came to the TORA atelier for the first styling. As usual, first step was a study of possibilities that the tree can offer:</div>

Brini vrste sabina so v bonsajskem svetu zelo popularni; ta avtohtona evropska vrsta brina ima celo še bolj zanimiv vzorec rasti kot japonska itoigawa. Zvita stara debla so res spektakularna. Zelenje sicer ni tako kompaktno in trdo kot pri itoigawi, toda vseeno se da tudi z sabino doseči zelo dobro definicijo. Ta sabina je iz Rokove zbirke; nedotaknjen jamadori, ki je v TORA atelje prišel na prvo oblikovanje. Kot običajno sem se najprej posvetil analizi možnosti, ki jih drevo ponuja:</div>

After step one, the real work began. First, I cleaned the trunk searching for live veins. The work was like an archeology, but the final result was spectacular: live vein twisting and turning around dead-wood. However - the fact, that the live vein in nebari area isn't visible from the front was a little disappoitment.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Po prvem koraku se je začelo pravo delo. Najprej sem očistil deblo in poiskal žive vene. Delo je malce podobno arheološkemu izkopavanju, toda rezultat je bil spektakularen: žive vene se vijejo okrog mrtvega lesa. Vseeno pa je bilo dejstvo, da vene v območju nebarija ni videti s sprednje strani, manjše razočaranje. </div>

Further analysis showed another possible step - cutting the lower part of the cascade crown would be great, because with minimal crown the spectacular trunk would be even more emphasized. But this will be the owner's decision...</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nadaljna analiza je nakazala mogoč korak - rezanje najnižjega dela kaskadne krošnje. Zminimalno krošnjo bi bilo spektakularno deblo še bolj poudarjeno. Toda odločitev bo prepuščena lastniku ...</div>

It is always a great pleasure to monitor a development of a tree, especially if the owner take a good care of it. This is a story about Pinus sylvestris from the Roman's collection. I saw this tree for the first time in October 2014 at one of workshops with Prekmurje group. From the distance I thought that this is a Pinus nigra: dark, harsh bark with layers and layers of flakes developed in a long time that tree grew in a tough conditions. Also character, the feeling emitted by a tree was typically Pinus nigra. Rare finding and a worthy to work on!</div>

Vedno je užitek spremljati razvoj drevesa, še posebej, če je zanj dobro poskrbljeno. To je zgodba o rdečem boru iz Romanove zbirke. Prvič sem to drevo videl oktobra 2014 na eni izmed delavnic s Prekmursko skupino. Od daleč sem mislil, da gre za črni bor: temna, groba skorja z sloji luskin, ki so se tam nalagale dolga desetletja rasti v težkih pogojih. Tudi karakter, občutki, ki jih človek dobi ob pogledu na drevo, so bili tipični za črni bor. Redka najdba in več kot vredna obdelave!</div>

Leto kasneje, no celo kakšen mesec več kot eno leto, je bilo drevo spet na mizi. Med tem je Roman poskrbel za presajanje in zelo dobro zalivanje in gnojenje; bor je reagiral izjemno dobro, tako da je bilo res užitek spet delati na starem prijatelju. </div>

Another year passed and it was time for a complete re-wiring. Tree becoming more and more mature rather surprisingly quick, so we can expect that it will be show-ready in next two or three years. For pine that is really quick. Of course the tree needs a better pot and the aluminium wire will be changed to copper one. </div>

Minilo je še eno leto in prišel je čas za novo žičenje. Drevo presenetljivo hitro postaja vse bolj in bolj zrelo, tako da lahko pričakujemo, da bo za razstavo pripravljeno že v naslednjih dveh ali treh letih. Za bor je to zares hitro. Seveda drevo potrebuje boljšo posodo in aluminijasta žica bo zamenjana z bakreno. </div>

Skrb za drevo je torej zelo pomembna. Če ima drevo vse, kar potrebuje, potem je razvoj lahko res zelo hiter!</div>

In one of my previous post I was already writing about how different species are regarding time needed for development. Juniperus species is not quick but it isn't slow neither. This particular tree, Juniperus virginiana (some of the blue cultivars), came to my garden eight years ago as urban yamadori, collected out of a concrete block in the city. Andrej collected it a year before, then we made a trade - I gave him a Fagus sylvatica from my collection and Juniper came into my possession.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
V enem od mojih prejšnjih prispevkov sem že pisal o tem, kako različne vrste potrebujejo zelo različno količino časa za razvoj. Brini niso niti hitri, niti počasni. To konkretno drevo, virginijski brin (eden od modrih kultivarjev), je v moj vrt prišlo pred osmimi leti kot urbani jamadori, izkopan iz betonskega korita v mestu. Andrej ga je izkopal eno leto prej. Potem sva napravila zamenjavo - jaz sem mu dal bukev iz moje zbirke, brin pa je postal moja last.</div>

The bonsai journey started in November 2008 at demo in Rajko's place. Since then, this tree has come a long way. In the meantime, I changed the front completely, but then returned to the original idea. Here you can see a photo journey trough all this years:</div>

Bonsjsko potovanje se je začelo Novembra 2008 z demonstracijo pri Rajkotu. Od takrat je to drevo napravilo že dolgo pot. Vmes sem že povsem zamenjal prednjo stran, a se kasneje vrnil k originalni ideji. Tu je foto-potovanje skozi vsa ta leta:</div>

<i>February 2017 - ready for show?</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This tree was never exhibited yet; when the tree is ready for exhibition? When its owner is! :-) With the development of the artist also his or her bonsai is a subject of more strict quality check. Eight years ago I would exhibit a far less mature trees then today. But for this particular one I felt, that the time for showing it to the public has come. So, the aluminium wire was changed with copper one and I think, you'll soon see this bonsai at some of the exhibitions!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To drevo ni bilo še nikoli razstavljeno; kdaj je drevo sploh pripravljeno na razstavljanje? Ko je pripravljen lastnik! :-) Z razvojem bonsajista je tudi njegovo ali njeno drevo podvrženo strožjim zahtevam. Osem let nazaj sem razstavljal mnogo manj zrela drevesa, kot jih danes. Toda za tega sem začutil, da je prišel čas, da ga pokažem javnosti. Aluminijasta žica je bila tako zamenjana z bakreno in bonsaj boste lahko kmalu videli na kakšni razstavi! </div>

This elm was collected one nice winter day just 10 months ago. Encouraged by very good experiences with this species I didn't hesitate and decided to styled it just after one growing season and set a future path of this tree. Elm has an attractive trunk line which makes it very interesting and different. And I like trees with different character! So, the first idea was to tilt the tree to the left and balance it, but closer inspection showed a weak branch which suppose to be a new top.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ta brest je bil izkopan na lep zimski dan pred desetimi meseci. Ker imam zelo dobre izkušnje s to vrsto, se nisem obiral, temveč začel s prvim oblikovanjem že po prvi rastni sezoni in določil prihodnost tega drevesa. Brest ima atraktivno linijo debla, kar ga dela zelo zanimivega in drugačnega. In rad imam drevesa z drugačnim karakterjem! Prvotna ideja je bila nagniti drevo proti levi in ga tako uravnovesiti, toda podrobnejša analiza je razkrila šibko vejo, ki naj bi postala nov vrh.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBJHJO4MZzMxSV4aV_DuUMvJtXN_7me1ZUoFJBHocNbS1BSbKcsXfa8UJac90ZfkPdDyjKQUAhs4UObjIYQto3HFRypRuA2d7bhPPmGGsU5n9wi3DBB4v4gyPB7dHWnvhJKepXMmxGEGc/s1600/IMG_9065m.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="387" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBJHJO4MZzMxSV4aV_DuUMvJtXN_7me1ZUoFJBHocNbS1BSbKcsXfa8UJac90ZfkPdDyjKQUAhs4UObjIYQto3HFRypRuA2d7bhPPmGGsU5n9wi3DBB4v4gyPB7dHWnvhJKepXMmxGEGc/s400/IMG_9065m.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So I came forward with another idea, very similar to the first one, but with other branches in the design. And also the position will stay more or less the same as it is in the training pot. This was my idea:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Potreboval sem torej drugačno idejo, ki pa je bila zelo podobna prvi a z drugimi vejami v dizajnu. In pozicija bo ostala bolj ali manj enaka, kot je zdaj v trening posodi. To je bila moja ideja:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibtMcJj2WjcrrE0yjIfysIGdmSgG8NuE_JKtVRcl68jWhw96qnD-t1MRlvp7lESQ5WH0PlKnaeNcpH4QM0f77-zSH1HfXJzSO2FY0uTf7IB4xTtuwEqYIAXM9TCtZc2FTrhoXRXwFQYMM/s1600/IMG_9098m.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibtMcJj2WjcrrE0yjIfysIGdmSgG8NuE_JKtVRcl68jWhw96qnD-t1MRlvp7lESQ5WH0PlKnaeNcpH4QM0f77-zSH1HfXJzSO2FY0uTf7IB4xTtuwEqYIAXM9TCtZc2FTrhoXRXwFQYMM/s400/IMG_9098m.jpg" width="281" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, the cutting started, I wired primary branches and set them into position. And the future bonsai started to emerge!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Rezanje se je začelo, ožičil sem primarne veje in jih postavil v pozicijo. In bodoči bonsaj se je začel kazati!</div>

Every year, hundreds of trees of all shapes and sizes go through our atelier. This year we lay hands on close to 300 trees, and I didn't count all the trees used for beginner's courses. All this work wouldn't be done without help of graduate Tora student Gašper Gabrijel. This album shows only a minor number of trees we worked on this season...<br />
<br />
Vsako leto gre skozi naš atelje na stotine dreves vseh oblik in velikosti. Letos smo delali na blizu 300 drevesih in v to niso všteta tista, ki smo jih oblikovali na tečjih za začetnike. Vse to delo brez Gašperja ne bi bilo mogoče. V albumu je le manjše število dreves, na katerih smo letos delali ...</div>

Meanwhile, a lot of trees were styled in our studio, new and old students worked on their projects and enjoyed in Tora International Bonsai School environment. This is a story about one of the many projects, story about Juniper from Sašo Taškar's collection. Sašo is a professional gardener, so he has access to the vast amount of garden material. Of course not all material is suitable for bonsai, but sometimes he finds some old plants which are not interesting for owners anymore, but they have a lot of character and are good for bonsai. This Juniperus virginiana came in to atelier as a big green bush two years after it was collected in an urban environment.<br />
<br />
Kar nekaj dreves smo oblikovali med tem v našem studiju, novi in stari člani šole so delali na svojih projektih in uživali v okolju šole Tora. To je zgodba enega od mnogih projektov, zgodba o brinu iz zbirke Saša Taškarja. Sašo je profesionalni vrtnar, tako da ima dostop do skoraj neomejene količine vrtnega materijala. Seveda ni ves primeren za bonsaj, toda tu in tam naleti na staro drevo, ki za lastnika ni več zanimivo, toda ima veliko karakterja in je primerno za bonsaj. Ta virginijski brin je v atelje prispel kot velik zelen grm dve leti po tem, ko je bil izkopan. <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Juniperus virginiana as arrived to the atelier in September 2016</i></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The big problem for almost all beginners is to see a bonsai in such a bush. Also Sašo came to me with a question: "Can we do something out of this?" After a few second of observation I replied: "Of course we can!" How I knew, that a bonsai is hiding in this bush? I saw some interesting lines, tapering and suitable branches. More than enough that I knew we can make a good tree out of this material. This ability one can develop only with experience, with work on many trees and of course with some talent. Then, with time, one can see more and more solutions in the starting material. But in this case Sašo trusted me all the decisions.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Videti bonsaj v takšnem grmu, je velika težava za skoraj vse začetnike. Tudi Sašo je najprej vprašal: " A lahko iz tega grma kaj naredimo?" Po nekaj sekundah analize drevesa sem odvrnil: " Seveda lahko!" Kako sem vedel, da se v tem grmu skriva bonsaj? Videl sem nekaj zanimivih linij, ožanje in primerne veje. Več kot dovolj, da sem vedel, da lahko iz tega materiala napravimo dober bonsaj. To sposobnost se da razviti samo z izkušnjami, z delom na mnogih drevesih in seveda z malo talenta. S časoma potem v začetnem materijalu vidiš več in več rešitev. Toda v tem primeru mi je Sašo zaupal vse odločitve.<br />

<i>This will be the future front ... Before the works started</i></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, first we decided which side is best for front and cut all redundant branches. Soon enough, it was clear, that the left side of the crown, the secondary trunk must go. There were no suitable branches, and also two trunks were too similar. So we decided to go with simple, classical tree. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Najprej smo se odločili, katera stran je boljša za prednjo in odrezali vse odvečne veje. Kar kmalu je bilo jasno, da se bomo morali znebiti leve strani, drugega debla. Tam ni bilo primernih vej, pa tudi obe debli sta si bili preveč podobni po debelini. Odločili smo se, da bomo oblikovali enostavno, klasično drevo.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<i>After we cut all redudant branches the interesting lines were more visible</i></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sašo then worked on deadwood, wiring took another three or four sessions in TORA atelier, but finally the work was done and the styling begins. The result is a nice compact tree with a lot of dynamic. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Sašo je potem delal na mrtvem lesu, žičenje je opravil v naslednjih treh ali štirih seansah šole, končno je bilo delo opravljeno in oblikovanje se je lahko začelo. Rezultat je simpatično kompaktno drevo s kar nekaj dinamike.<br />

<i>The result studied by some TORA student</i></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The bottom left jin will be drastically shortened in the near future, some deadwood will be added on the trunk, crown will gain much more definition. And of course, the tree will be repoted in to bonsai pot. But the major work has been done, we set the future of this tree. Now is Sašo's turn to keep this tree nice and happy and in two or three seasons it can be show-ready!<br />
<br />
Spornji levi džin bo v bližnji prihodnosti precej zmanjšan, neka jmrtvega lesa bo dodanega na deblu, krošnja pa bo pridobila na definiciji. In seveda, drevo bo presajeno v bonsajsko posodo. Toda glavno delo je opravljeno, drevesu smo določili prihodnost. Zdaj je Sašova naloga, da drevo pravilno vzdržuje in v dveh do treh sezonah je že lahko primerno za razstavo!<br />

In the relationship between master and disciple there is always a moment when this relationship is not one-way only anymore. Instead of that, it becames a two-way relationship, a mutual growth of both: master and his student. I found some 'masters' hard to admit that. Gašper came to Tora international school some four years ago, and started an apprentice-program a year later. He is really talented and in only two years time he completed the program. He continues to work in my atelier, but he is now more like a partner than a student. Can I still teach him something? Probably, but as I wrote before, now we can benefit both from this relationship. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
V odnosu med mojstrom in učencem vedno pride do trenutka, ko odnos ni več le enosmeren. Postane dvosmeren, skupna rast obeh: učitelja in študenta. Veliko 'mojstrov' to težko prizna. Gašper je v Toro prišel pred kakšnimi štirimi leti, vajeniški program pa začel leto kasneje. Je izjemen talent in program je končal že v dveh letih. Še vedno dela v ateljeju, toda zdaj je bolj partner kot študent. Ga še vedno lahko česa naučim? Verjetno, toda, kot sem napisal že zgoraj, zdaj lahko imava od najinega odnosa koristi oba.</div>

Of course I don't trust my best trees to everyone. But Gašper gradually climbed up on that ladder of trust, his works were always exactly as I expected, so now It was time for the ultimate test: I trusted him a Shimpaku from my personal collection.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Seveda svojih najboljših dreves ne zaupam kar vsakemu. Toda Gašper se je počasi vzpenjal po lestvici tega zaupanja, njegovi izdelki so bili vedno točno taki, kot sem pričakoval. Zdaj je prišel čas za največji test: zaupal sem mu brin iz moje osebne zbirke.</div>

This Shimpaku came to my collection with the help of friend Piotr Czerniachowski, who imported it from Japan. In spring 2012 it finally arrived in my garden.</div>

<i>Shimpaku at Noelanders trophy, January 2014</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After repoting in spring 2015 the problems started. First one of the small branches at bottom crown died, next year two more branches died further up the tree. Dyeing of the branches was a result of a combination of two reasons: too much green mass on grafted branches, so the live veins couldn't support it anymore, and the bark beetle. The latest, so the bark beetle was far more dangerous. But luckily we found it soon enough and treated it with insecticide. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Po presajanju spomladi 2015 so se začele težave. Najprej je odmrla manjša veja v spodnji krošnjici, naslednje leto še dve višje na drevesu. Vzrok odmiranja vej je bila kombinacija dveh stvari: preveč zelene mase na cepljenih vejah, tako da je žive vene niso mogle več hraniti, in podlubnik. Hrošček je bil seveda veliko nevarnejši. Na srečo smo ga odkrili dovolj zgodaj in drevo tretirali z insekticidom.</div>

The trees are changing and together with them also we are changing ... As we all know, bonsai art is a never ending story; but we pursue perfection and with years we get closer and closer ;-) This is a story about Juniperus virginiana.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Drevesa se spreminjajo in mi z njimi ... Kot vsi dobro vemo: bonsaizem je nikoli dokončana umetnost, toda z njo zasledujemo popolnost in z leti smo ji bliže in bliže ;-) To je zgodba o virginijskem brinu. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Juniperus virginana species is not as highly appreciated in the bonsai world as Juniperus chinensis; but nevertheless one can obtain a very good results with it. I am not a fan of grafting Itoigawa species onto all junipers because I like diversity, different colors and character of different species. Of course, Itoigawa is still a king, and I have some of them in my garden, but I wish a diversity too. I acquired this tree from Marek Gajda in Warsaw in 2009 and started with work a year later. From the very beginning I have a dramatic shape in mind, so I started to work on deadwood and split the trunk. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Virginijski brin v bonsajskem svetu ni tako cenjena vrsta kot kitajski brin. Toda vseeno se da z njim doseči dobre rezultate. Ker imam rad raznolikost, različne barve in karakter, nisem privrženec cepljenja itoigave na vse druge brine. Seveda je itoigava še vedno kralj in v mojem vrtu jih je kar nekaj, toda, kot rečeno, rad imam tudi raznolikost. To drevo sem leta 2009 kupil v Varšavi pri Mareku Gajdi in leto kasneje začel z delom. Že od začetka sem imel v mislih dramatično obliko, tako da sem začel z delom na mrtvem lesu in razcepil deblo.</div>

It reacted well and in spring 2013 I repoted it into a bonsai pot. Also, after repoting the tree still grew vigorously. This is a feature of Virginia junipers - they are really strong and they can undertake a lot of stress. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Reagiral je dobro in spomladi 2013 sem ga presadil v bonsajsko posodo. Tudi po presajanju je živahno poganjal. In to je značilnost virginijskih brinov - so močni in lahko preživijo veliko stresa.</div>

So, in February 2015 I traveled to Belgium and put it on the exhibition in Genk. This is the highlight of this tree for now. But I proved to myself that with hard and proper work one can achieve a high level even with such material.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Februarja 2015 sem se torej odpravil v Belgijo in ga v Genku postavil na razstavne police. To je gotovo vrhunec tega drevesa do sedaj. Toda dokazal sem si, da se s trdim in pravilnim delom lahko visok nivo doseže tudi s takšnim materijalom. </div>

Then I proceeded with work on dead-wood and live veins, cleaned all and applied lime-sulfur. The juniper Drama is now shining again and it is show-ready!</div>

Potem sem nadaljeval z delom na mrtvem lesu in živih venah, ga očistil in premazal z apnenim žveplom. Brin Drama spet sije v vsej svoji lepoti in je pripravljen na razstavljanje.</div>

So, we, the tree and I, are 6 years older, 6 years of work, 6 years of living together. This is relatively short period of time in bonsai world, so I am looking forward for the next decades of our mutual growth!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Drevo in jaz sva 6 let starejša. 6 let dela in skupnega življenja. To je v bonsajskem svetu relativno kratko obdobje, zato se že veselim naslednji desetletij skupne rasti!</div>

Past weekend I spent at VII. International bonsai exhibition in Medvode, Slovenia. The exhibition was organized by the Slovenian bonsai club (Slovenski bonsaj klub); first time in 12 years I was not the main organizer of this event, so for me this was just relaxing and enjoying time! Even though I was a moderator on demonstrations, this was a completely different experience as it was in past six editions of this event. After more than 10 years of presidency in 2014 I resigned as president of the club, to concentrate on my school and my trees. After almost two years without president Nik Rozman took over. And he did a great job organizing the exhibition; even though at different and smaller venue than in previous years, the event was a success! The quality of the trees was good, we had a lot of visitors, the demos were interesting.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Minuli konec tedna sem preživel na VII. Mednarodni razstavi bonsajev, ki jo je v Medvodah organiziral Slovenski bonsaj klub. Prvič v 12-ih letih nisem bil glavni organizator, tako da sem tokrat lahko zgolj sproščeno užival. Čeprav sem bil moderator na demonstracijah, je bilo to vseeno povsem drugačno doživetje, kot na prejšnjih šestih izvedbah razstave. Po več kot desetih letih predsedovanja, sem leta 2014 odstopil s te funkcije, da bi se lažje posvetil moji šoli in drevesom. Po skoraj dveh letih brez predsednika v klubu, je vodstvo prevzel Nik Rozman. In kot organizator razstave se je izkazal: čeprav je bila na drugi in manjši lokaciji, kot v preteklih letih, je dogodek uspel. Kvaliteta dreves je bila dobra, imeli smo veliko obiskovalcev, demonstracije so bile zanimive.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I prepared three of my trees for exhibition; Juniperus chinensis 'Itoigawa' known as Pelican got one of the nominations, but probably the most great and emotional award I ever "win" was the award for years of my work in the club. This was a total surprise for me! Award and recognition from my fellow-bonsaists in Slovenian bonsai club means me a lot! We grew together as artists and we developed this art in our country. Thank you!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Za razstavo sem pripravil tri moja drevesa: Kitajski brin znan kot Pelikan je bil med nominiranimi. Toda verjetno največja in najbolj čustvena nagrada, kar sem jih kdaj prejel, je bilo priznanje za moje dolgoletno delo v klubu. Popolno presenečenje! Priznanje s strani kolegov bonsajistov v Slovenskem bonsj klubu mi res veliko pomeni! Skupaj smo odraščali kot bonsajisti in skupaj to umetnost v Sloveniji razvijali. Hvala!</div>

<i>My third entry: Pinus sylvestris</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As I wrote before, the level of exhibited trees was quite high, maybe the exhibition would be even better if there would be 10 trees less on the shelves, selection even more strict, but this is just my opinion. Here are some photos from the exhibition and just some trees I liked the most.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Kot sem napisal že zgoraj, nivo razstavljenih dreves je bil dokaj visok, mogoče bi bila razstava še boljša, če bi bilo na policah deset dreves manj, selekcija še nekoliko ostrejša. Toda to je le moje mnenje. Tu je nekaj fotografij z razstave in le nekaj fotografij dreves, ki so mi bila najbolj všeč.</div>

Finally time for another post has arrived! :-) Work in atelier doesn't stop and some time, after all hard work, is hard to find a motivation for post. I hope you'll still come back to check for new one's and I'll try to post more regularly. Here is a story of another mugo pine, Pinus mugo, yamadori from Slovenian Alps. Although I personally prefer Pinus sylvestris over mugo, this time I was attracted by this ancient tree, collected by Miha Oberstar, and so the tree came in to my possession. After one year of acclimatization (with mugo pines one can't be to careful and to patient) the tree was re-potted into first bonsai pot. The inclination was corrected, but because of roots the planned front didn't fit in to the pot right. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Končno sem našel čas za nov prispevek. :-) Nenehno delo v ateljeju včasih vzame enregijo in motivacijo za nove zapise. Upam, da boste vseeno tu in tam preverili, če je kaj novega, jaz pa se bom trudil pisati bolj redno. Tu je zgodba o novem ruševju, Pinus mugo, jamadori iz naših gora. Čeprav imam raje rdeče bore kot ruševje, me je to starodavno drevo, ki ga je izkopal Miha Oberstar pritegnilo, in tako je pristalo v moji zbirki. Po enem letu aklimatizacije (z ruševjem človek nikoli ne more biti preveč previden in potrpežljiv) je bilo drevo presajeno v prvo bonsajsko posodo. Popravljen je bil nagib, zaradi korenin pa načrtovana sprednja stran ni na pravem mestu v posodi. </div>

<i>Pinus mugo, August 2016, before first styling</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After another year of resting and 5 years after collecting, the tree was ready for first styling. I studied this tree for more than a year, so there were no dilemmas about design. Here is the quick sketch I drew. And then the work started.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Po še enem letu počitka in 5 let po izkopu je bilo drevo pripravljeno na prvo obdelavo. Drevo sem v več kot enem letu dodobra preštudiral, tako da dvomov o dizajnu ni bilo. Na hitro sem pred oblikovanjem narisal skico in delo se je začelo.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After the needles were cut I lift the main trunk and fixed it with rebar. Then I wired all the branches and put them into position. At the end I cleaned the natural shari and shaped the jin. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Potem, ko sem postrigel stare iglice sem dvignil glavno deblo in ga učvrstil z železno palico. Potem sem veje ožičil in jih usmeril v željeni položaj. Na koncu sem še očistil naravni šari in oblikoval džin.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am pleased with the result! This will be a great bonsai! Working on this centuries old tree was a pure joy. Now the aftercare will be important and in few years the root-ball will be shortened so that the tree will fit in a proper pot (something like as in the sketch). Meanwhile the crown will mature and the tree will be ready for show! :-) </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Z rezultatom sem nadvse zadovoljen! To bo lep bonsaj! Delo na tem več kot sto let starem drevesu je bilo čisti užitek. Zdaj bo pomembna oskrba po oblikovalskem šoku; v nekaj letih bo koreninska gruda zmanjšana tako, da bo primerna za dobro posodo (nekaj takega, kot na skici). Med tem bo dozorela krošnja in drevo bo pripravljeno za razstavo! :-)</div>

Pinus mugo is not my favorite species of pines. I prefer to work on Pinus sylvestris because one can gain more definition on them. High mountain pines (Mugo) will always look a little uncombed and sturdy. But nevertheless, mugo pines are among great species for bonsai. This particular one has been collected out of the concrete block in the city. Tomaž R. was the collector and he took care of the tree for two years afterwards. In October 2014 he brought the tree to the TORA studio and after inspection we set the plan: first we had to set the main line of the trunk as it was completely straight.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ruševje ni moja najljubša vrsta bora. Raje delam na rdečih borih, ker lahko na njih dosežemo boljšo definicijo. Gorski bor (Pinus mugo) bo vedno izgledal nekoliko nepočesan in grčav. A vseeno ruševje sodi med odlične vrste za bonsaj. Tale iz naše zgodbe prihaja iz betonskega korita v mestu. Izkopal ga je Tomaž R. in naslednji dve leti tudi skrbel zanj. Oktobra 2014 ga je prinesel v TORA atelje in po analizi smo naredili načrt: najprej smo morali narediti glavno linijo debla, saj je bil ta popolnoma raven.</div>

<i>Pinus mugo, October 2014, after bending the trunk</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Everything went OK, and the first step on the tree was completed. After two years of recovery, we removed all the wires and rafia, the trunk stood in set position. Now second step can begin. Gašper cut the old needles and cleaned some jins, then we made the selection of branches. I wired them all and put them into position. No detailed wiring yet, this will be done in third step next year.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Vse se je izšlo brez težav in prvi korak je bil končan. Po dveh letih smo odstranil vso žico in rafijo in deblo je obstalo v poziciji. Zdaj se je lahko začel drugi korak. Gašper je porezal vse stare iglice in očistil nekaj džinov, potem smo napravili selekcijo vej. Vse sem ožičil in jih skrivil v pozicijo. Podrobno žičenje pride na vrsto ob tretjem koraku prihodnje leto.</div>

Now the skeleton of future bonsai is set. The tree has really great nebari and also movement is now good. In the future some more branches will be cut and of course, the tree will be repoted into a bonsai pot. This will become a nice bonsai in next few years!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Okostje bodočega bonsaja je zdaj postavljeno. Drevo ima zares odličen nebari in tudi gibanje je zdaj dobro. V prihodnosti bo porezanih še več vej in drevo bo seveda presajeno v bonsajsko posodo. V nekaj letih bo to lep bonsaj!</div>

This past weekend I was a guest of the Slovak bonsai association at their annual national exhibition. The exhibition was organized by local club Trnava in the city of Hlohovec (Hawthorn city). Trees were put on exhibition in an old monastery. I was honored to work with members of SBA, together we styled a few nice trees which now have a bright future. As usually Gašper helped me a lot. He extremely improved his skills in a year and a half since he is apprentice in TORA school. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ta konec tedna sem bil gost Slovaške bonsajske zveze na njihovi letni nacionalni razstavi. Razstavo je v Hlohovcu (da, mesto ima ime po glogu), v starem samostanu, organiziral klub iz Trnave. Bilo mi je v veselje in čast delati s člani njihove zveze, skupaj smo oblikovali nekaj lepih dreves, ki jih čaka lepa prihodnost. Kot običajno mi je bil v veliko pomoč Gašper, ki je v zadnjem dobrem letu in pol v šoli TORA izjemno napredoval.<br />

<i>One of the exhibiting rooms was in the basement of the Monastery</i></div>
<br />
<br />
I was especially impressed by the atmosphere at the exhibition - relaxed, without competitive approach 'who is the best, who is right' ... Just enjoying the work on trees or simply by watching them. By this approach also results will come: there is still enough place for improvement, as usually especially with better material. Bottom line: Juraj Szabo, as president of the SBA and organizers from local club did a great job and I am glad that I was your guest. Thank you guys!<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Posebej se me je dotaknilo ozračje na razstavi - sproščeno, brez nenehnega dokazovanja, kdo je boljši, kdo ima prav, zgolj uživanje ob delu z drevesi ali samo ob opazovanju. Ob takšnem pristopu bodo prišli tudi rezultati; prostora za napredovanje je še veliko, tako kot običajno predvsem pri izboru materijala. A pod črto: Juraj Szabo, kot predsednik SBA in organizatorji iz lokalnega kluba so opravili odlično delo in vesel sem, da sem bil lahko vaš gost. Hvala za vse! <br />

After exhibition our journey was not over - from Hlohovec we headed to north of Czech republic, to Dvor Kralovy, home of Luboš Škoda, great bonsai-potter. Last autumn we started to discuss about production of special pot for my half-cascade juniper. Even though I prefer to pot my trees into the classical pots, I get the feeling that the juniper will shine in Luna-shape pot. So we exchanged some views, measurement and the plan was set. But the work took more time as planned. Complex manufacturing process, many layers of clay, drying and final firing at a high temperature took all winter, but the product is exactly as I imagined it!<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Po koncu razstave se je potovanje za nas šele začelo - iz Hlohovca smo se odpravili na sever Češke, v Dvor Kralovy, k priznanemu izdelovalcu bonsajskih posod - Lubošu Škodi. Že lani jeseni sva se začela dogovarjati o izdelavi posebne posode za moj polkaskadni brin. Čeprav načeloma drevesa sadim v bolj ali manj klasične posode, pa se mi zdi, da bo to drevo zaživelo šele v lunasti posodi. Nekaj izmenjav mnenj, meritev in načrt je bil pripravljen. Le delo je zahtevalo več časa, kot sva sprva načrtovala. Zapleten postopek izdelave iz mnogih plasti gline, sušenja in končno peke pri visoki temperaturi, je vzel vso zimo, ampak izdelek je točno tak, kot sem si ga zamislil!</div>

When we arrived, Luboš take me to the workshop almost immediately and expected my reaction with interest. The pot was even better than I expect and it will complement the tree perfectly! I can't wait to re-pot the juniper next spring!<br />

Ob prihodu me je Luboš takoj povabil v svojo delavnico in z zanimanjem pričakoval mojo reakcijo - posoda je boljša, kot sem pričakoval in bo perfektno dopolnjevala drevo! Komaj čakam, da brin naslednjo pomlad presadim vanjo! </div>

Luboš show us some more of his amazing pots, as he said: "One can succeed only with high quality and different style." And he succeeds in both: his pots are really quality and something special for sure. Luboš, thanks again!<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Luboš nam je z veseljem pokazal še nekaj svojih izjemnih izdelkov; kot je povedal sam: "Prepričaš lahko le z visoko kakovostjo in svojim slogom." In oboje je Lubošu uspelo - njegove posode so visoko kvalitetne in gotovo nekaj posebnega. Luboš, še enkrat hvala za trud! </div>

Quite some time has passed since my last blog entry ... But so many things happened meanwhile! And that is also the main reason why I didn't post. (Well, I regularly post on TORA facebook page...) The biggest project of the past winter was building tokonoma in my studio. Tokonoma is an important instrument for bonsai study, for study composition and the most important: for KHAZARI - the art of bonsai presentation. Building take almost two months of planning, searching for material and hard work. But in the end I am very happy with the result. Some details still missing, but tokonoma already serves it's purpose.<br />
<br />
Kar nekaj časa je preteklo od zadnje objave ... Toda vmes se je zgodilo toliko stvari! In prav to je glavni razlog za to, da nisem objavljal. (No, na TORA facebook strani redno objavljam ...) Največji projekt pretekle zime je bila gradnja tokonome v atelejeju. Tokonoma je pomemben instrument pri študiju bonsaja, pri študiju kompozicije in kar je najpomembnejše: pri umetnosti KAZARI - to je umetnost predstavljanja bonsaja. Gradnja je vzela skoraj dva meseca načrtovanja, iskanja materijala in dela. Toda na koncu sem z rezultatom zadovoljen. Nekaj podrobnosti še manjka, toda tokonoma že služi svojemu namenu.</div>

Meanwhile the work with students didn't stop, many old and new, local and international students came to the atelier and we did some great projects. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Med tem delo s študenti seveda ni stalo. Veliko novih, lokalnih in mednarodnih študentov je prišlo v atelje in napravili smo nekaj lepih projektov.<br />

And time went by, spring quietly arrived, the trees are dressed in leaves; after a year and a half of intensive study in TORA school Gašper was ready for his first big confrontation - he was a Slovenian candidate at New Talent Contest at EBA convention in Sekesfehervar, Hungary. He did a good job and I am proud of his achievement.<br />
<br />
In čas je mineval, pomlad je tiho prišla, drevesa so se oblekla v liste; po letu in pol intenzivnega študija v TORI je bil Gašper pripravljen na svoje prvo veliko soočenje - bil je slovenski kandidat na tekmovanju novih talentov na EBA konvenciji v Sekesfehervarju na Madžarskem. Dobro se je odrezal in ponosen sem na njegov dosežek.<br />

Now the work continues. Work on beautiful trees is our main motto and we'll continue to do so. And the trees will speak for us! Next international stop will be Slovak national exhibition in Hlohovec. You can join me at the workshop, see you all there!<br />
<br />
In delo teče naprej. Delo na lepih drevesih je naš glavni moto in tako bo tudi ostalo. In drevesa bodo govorila za nas! Naslednja mednarodna postaja bo slovaška nacionalna razstava v Hlohovcu. Tam se mi lahko pridružite na delavnici. Se vidimo!<br />

Roman is a bonsai enthusiast for many years now and he has a nice garden with beautiful niwaki trees. He is also a member of TORA international bonsai school and hosted the school workshops for many times. In October 2014 we were in his garden again and he took a nice pine for the workshop. When I saw this pine for the first time, I was thinking: what a great black pine! But then I realized that this is actually a red pine (Pinus sylvestris) with the character of a black one. Just exceptional! It has fantastic bark, roots are visible because rain washed out all the soil, great movement. Yamadori on its best! But yamadori usually has a lot of problems. And in that late October day we started to eliminate one by one. Pine was already styled once before by Roman, but he made some mistakes and we started again from scratch. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Roman se z bonsaji ukvarja že vrsto let; njegov vrt je tudi poln čudovitih nivakijev. Je tudi član šole TORA in je naše delavnice že velikokrat gostil. Oktobra 2014 smo bili spet gostje v njegovem vrtu in za delavnico je izbral lep bor. Ko sem ta bor videl prvič, sem pomislil: dober črni bor! Potem pa sem spoznal, da gre v resnici za rdeči bor (Pinus sylvestris) s karakterjem črnega. Izjemno! Ima fantastično skorjo, korenine so razkrite, ker je dež izpral vso prst, krasno gibanje. Jamadori v vsej svoji lepoti! Toda jamadorji imajo običajno tudi veliko problemov. In tistega pozno-oktoberskega dne smo jih začeli drugega za drugim odpravljati. Roman je drevo enkrat že oblikoval, toda napravil nekaj napak in zato smo začeli znova. </div>

We created an interesting line which was the main goal of first intervention. The result was interesting tree, all mistakes were eliminated, the branch structure was set, now the work on crown started. (Sorry for the bad photo, but we finished the work already in the dark ... )</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ustvarili smo zanimivo linijo, kar je bil tudi glavni cilj tega posega. Rezultat je bilo zanimivo drevo, napake odpravljene, struktura vej postavljena in delo na krošnji se lahko začne. (Opravičilo za slabo fotko, toda delo smo končali, ko se je že spustil mrak ...)</div>

<i>January 2016, pine is back on the table</i></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We wired it again and with second styling the tree started to show all its potential. Of course, there are some years of work still waiting before this tree will be ready for exhibition, but Roman (and I too :-) ) is happy with such a quick progress so far.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Spet smo ga ožičili in z drugim oblikovanjem je že začel kazati ves svoj potencial. Seveda bo še nekaj let dela preden bo drevo pripravljeno za razstavo. Toda Roman (in tudi jaz :-) ) je z dosedanjim hitrim razvojem zadovoljen.</div>

Here are two other examples of two well documented development of the trees. Both in Gregor Malik's collection and both worked on in TORA bonsai school sessions. It is very nice to see how trees styled in our school progress and becoming nice bonsai. It is the true purpose of our workshops: to bring trees from yamadori to exhibiting state of development. And along with this process student learn all necessary tehniques. The first example is a field elm which made a great progress in only four seasons. Gregor collected it by himself and bring it to our workshop for the first time in March 2013. The tree has good nebari and great bark, but almost no tapering and no movement. But because elms are extremely good species for bonsai it was worth to try. So we set the future of the tree.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tu sta še dva primera dobro dokumentiranih razvojev dreves. Obe drevesi sta iz zbirke Gregorja Malika in obe delani na delavnicah šole TORA. Zelo lepo je videti kako se drevesa oblikovana na naših delavnicah razvijajo in postajajo lepi bonsaji. To je tudi glavni namen naših srečanj: pripeljati drevesa od jamadorija do razstavne razvojne faze. Ob tem procesu se študentje učijo vseh potrebnih tehnik. Prvi primer je brest, ki je izjemen razvoj napravil v samo štirih letih. Gregor ga je sam izkopal in ga prvič prinesel na delavnico marca 2013. Drevo ima dober nebari in lepo skorjo, toda je skoraj brez ožanja in brez gibanja. Toda ker je brest zelo dobra vrsta za bonsai, je bilo vseeno vredno poskusiti. Torej smo začrtali prihodnost tega drevesa.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So we shortened the trunk and made a selection of branches. Gregor then wired them all. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Skrajšali smo deblo in napravili selekcijo vej. Gregor jih je potem vse ožičil.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Elm reacted well and after one growing season, in January 2014, it was time for the next step. Grega shortened the branches in order to make a nice structure and slowly started to build the crown.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Brest je dobro reagiral in po eni rastni sezoni, januarja 2014, je bil čas za nov korak. Grega je veje pokrajšal zaradi boljše strukture in začel počasi graditi krošnjo.</div>

In spring 2015 Grega re-pot the tree in a first bonsai pot, let it grow for another season and wired it again in January 2016. Then he brought it to the TORA workshop. Grega did a great job! We just adjusted first two branches and the result is great! Ramification is unbelievable for such a short time. The tree is almost ready for show. Just great! In the future, it will be re-potted in shallow pot a little wider than the present one.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Spomladi 2015 je Grega drevo presadil v prvo bonsajsko posodo, ga pustil še eno sezono rasti in ga ponovno ožičil jauarja 2016. Potem ga je prinesel na delavnico šole TORA. Grega je napravil odlično delo! Le spodnji dve veji smo malce popravili in rezultat je bil odličen! Razvejanost je za samo štiri leta razvoja neverjetna. Drevo je že skoraj pripravljeno za razstave. Odlično! V bodočnosti bo posajeno v nekoliko nižjo in širšo posodo.</div>

The other example is the development of Prunus mahaleb. The story started in the same year as elm's one. Grega brought the tree to the TORA workshop already potted into the shallow bonsai pot. The tree has great movement, tapering and a lot of dead-wood. We made the branch-selection and also the first styling was done.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Drug primer je razvoj rešeljike. Zgodba sega v isto leto kot zgodba bresta. Grega jo je na delavnico prinesel že posajeno v plitvo bonsajsko posodo. Drevo ima izjemno gibanje, ožanjein veliko suhega lesa. Napravili smo selekcijo vej in opravili prvo oblikovanje.</div>

In December 2014, after a good growing season, we decided to shorten the trunk and wired all branches again.</div>

Decembra 2014, po dobri rastni sezoni, smo se odločili za krajšanje debla in na novo ožičili vse veje.</div>

In spring 2015 Grega re-potted the Prunus into very nice high-quality pot from Isabelia, which might be the final one. In January 2016 we did another styling and the tree already shows all its potential. The first right branch must still thicken a lot and the crown must mature, but with leaves on it is already showable. With these two trees Grega also show his great talent and I am proud that he is a student of TORA school! </div>

Spomladi 2015 je Grega rešeljiko presadil v lepo in kvalitetno bonsajsko posodo iz Isabelie, ki bi že lahko bila končna. Januarja 2016 smo napravili novo oblikovanje in drevo že kaže ves svoj potencial. Prva desna veja se mora še precej odebeliti in krošnja mora dozoreti. Toda z listi je drevo že primerno za kakšno razstavo. S tema drevesoma je Grega pokazal svoj velik talent in ponosen sem, da je del šole TORA!</div>
