Unfortunately I have only a couple of images of this impressive bonsai, a Cedrus libani, Cedar of Lebanon. The photos date from a few years ago. The tree originated in Jim Mc Currach’s garden and we sold it to Marco Invernizzi who had a bit of a thing about Cedars [ maybe still does? ] No before shot but this photo shows some preliminary guying down of branches that Marco had done on a previous visit to the nursery.
We took the above picture just before Marco did the next stage of the work on the tree one evening here.
The tree after that evenings work, a fair bit of pruning, some fine wiring and further guy wiring of branches into position. The Eric Bibb [ great folk blues singer !! ] Cd in the front gives an idea of scale, the tree was potted in a large Mica rectangular container.
I took the tree to Milan for Marco on one of my trips to his home city to pick up Japanese imports that we made through him. There cannot be many better, large Cedars about !!
