Building A Rock

摘要

I have a really short needled, mother nature developed ponderosa pine, Pinusponderosa, bonsai that is best shown as a semi-cascade. If everybody remembers the earlier article on ponderosa pine, short needle ponderosas grow naturally in areas of the Rockies. The ponderosa, when tipped sideways to achieve the semi-cascade, exposed a long thinner section which was more likely barked root rather than trunk. This "stalk-like" area was distracting to the overall appearance of the tree.
