Nationally known bonsai artist Jim Doyle visited the ACBS in March and led a workshop on some field grown lindens and Korenan hornbeams. Jim showed us a brief presentation on ways to develop a deciduous bonsai and also talked about care and maintenance.
He worked his way around participating members and discussed with each different viewing angles and plans for developing and the tree. He discussed design elements including pruning back large branches, selecting and apex and training branches downward to give the illusion of age to the tree.Check out some video clips from the workshop here on our youtube channel.
Jim is the owner of Nature's Way bonsai nursery in Pennsylvania, and has been studying bonsai since 1980. He has worked with some internationally known artists such as Walter Pall in Germany and has exhibited his trees nationally and internationally.
