The sight and smell of the Norway Spruce will be familiar to many, being one of the more popular Christmas trees around the world. Spruce often grow with perfectly straight trunks, making them good subjects for formal upright bonsai. Watch as I try to create such a tree, one that is representative of its mature counterpart in the wild, while also maintaining visual interest in its miniature form. I use the knowledge of Spruce's tendency to grow new apices from branches to design and create this bonsai, styled and filmed over the course of two years. I’m truly grateful for the response to the videos I’ve uploaded so far, and I’m working as fast as I can to keep producing them. Thank you for the patience and support. I am of course limited by nature and the seasons (and a bit of perfectionism too) but rest assured there are plenty more on the way.

Collected trees (yamadori in Japanese) often possess qualities that are almost impossible to recreate by hand. This is usually due to the harsh conditions they have endured over long periods of time. In this video I create a bonsai from a 70+ year old collected Sabina Juniper, doing my best to enhance the natural characteristics of the tree without losing the wild magic within.
