Ponderosa Pines as Bonsai by Larry Jackel

or collected bonsai trees (yamadori) in general,
you'll want to partake of Larry Jackels enthusiasm & knowledge
Bonsai pioneer is a good choice of words to describe who Dan is. The Picasso of bonsai might be equally good. I don't know if you'll ever see another bonsai book with trees as thoroughly unique as Gnarly Branches, Ancient Trees

Here’s what our friend Michael Hagedorn has to say about this lovely Japanese maple: “This maple in Shinji Suzuki’s tokonoma is in a pot typical of this kind of tree. It works better aesthetically, in two ways. A shallow pot will make the nebari continue spreading, and the delicacy of the trunks is enhanced by a shallower pot. But a maple is also a tree that appreciates water. And a shallow pot will retain more moisture than a deeper one, in a soil-to-soil relative way. It’s a wetter pot.”
