I went to Košice bonsai club meeting last saturday, my first bonsai club meeting ever, and I loved it.
Very nice people, nice location, nice food and drinks, and I got my spruce yamadori styled by a pro
I am looking forward to nex year´s one already
Some pics here and more on my blog for those ineterested.

I have a question.

Why isn't there a way to subscribe to accounts as well as just topics?
I would love e-mail notification of every time Krištof starts a new topic.

Wow Kristof! that looks GREAT!.

Thanx lads.
I don´t know about subscribing to accounts, but there should be a way to subscribe to my blog on blogger if you look around.
I post updates whenever I do something with my trees or go to see some exhibitions or visit bonsai fanatics.

Look at the bottom of this post!!! it says reply topic subscribe favourite

Yeah, but that's only for this topic...

And please, continue to do that!

I did a second styling of a spruce from this thread so I continue here with it.
I had to cut back radically to be able to start buliding ramification.

Before second styling:



After:

nice work

Spruce I was showing you here is dead.
I had it in semi-shade last year and it was growing nicely...and this spring I tried to put it in full sun as most of the trees I have LOVE it.
Obviously this spruce didn´t and new growth started to turn brown some week after it came out of buds.
I moved it into shade but it seems that nothing can help it already.
It is very sad looking at it now.
I think it was entirely my fault - full sun and maybe a bit too harsh last year´s pruning and wiring.
I couldn´t see any signs of insect infestation.
I thought that I know what I am doing after 3 years of studying and practicing, but obviously I do not at times.
I should have remembered that this tree grew basically in shade where I collected it from.
Another hard lesson learned.
