Bonsai tree: Three Bonsai Masterpieces

BTgal5
This full cascade Japanese Katsura tree is from Bonsai Today issue 5. Its overall height (not including the stand) is 31 inches (79 cm).
During its heyday, Bonsai Today magazine was known for its excellent how-to articles by Japanese and other masters, and for its world class bonsai galleries. The three trees featured here are from long out-of-print issues, and present just a very small taste of what lies beneath the covers of Bonsai Today.

This rugged old slant style Japanese black pine is from Bonsai Today issue 3. Height from the base of the trunk to the top is 19 inches (48 cm).

This stately, naturalistic Japanese white pine is from Bonsai Today issue 2 (due to water damage during ocean transit, issue 2 is the scarcest of all Bonsai Today issues). Height 38 inches (97 cm).
