Eric uses a little magic to pot and style four Kishu Junipers, removing them from 2 inch growing containers and potting them into very, very small pots from Bob Potts of Rough Cut Pottery (www.bonsaify.c....
00:00:45 Prepping pots with screens and tie wires.
00:01:40 Removing the Junipers from their containers and cutting back most of the roots.
00:02:47 Extending earlier shari work; goal is to get more irregular trunks without creating a reverse taper.
00:03:55 The challenge with unique pots like Bob's is to match the movement of the tree trunk to each pot.
00:05:01 Eric chooses the front of the pot for tree #1 to position tree. He adds soil to firm up the tree after tightening the tiewire.
00:06:11 Potting the 3 additional Junipers.
00:08:08 Styling time! Using copper wire to accentuate the cascade style.
00:10:00 The rough shape of tree #1 is wired but it has too much foliage so Eric removes some.
00:11:03 SURPRISE!
00:11:32 A more complicated style and the MAGIC begins!
