Moments together

Hey, what are you doing. Mario did not understand that the demo was over.

Don with an extra head. Chajko's head budded from Don's. That's because, everybody wants to be Chajko and his ideas are infectious.

Don after surgery and removal of an extra head. Looks ok.

Thank you Mauro and Ilaria

Detailed info on my mail

Fushigi (miracle) orientalis

This was my friend Mario's tree. Well, we've found the way and now it's mine. He named it "miracle"...japanese word will be "fushigi", so I'm gonna keep the name Mario originally gave to this tree.
This is one outstanding tree. Even now, as a starting material looks very good. Next year or during the winter...first wiring. So we'll see. I see a great future. Pay attention to fantastic sculpted trunk and nebari!

Mugho season 2010.

Collection site.

It is probably ideal when the tree growes on the rock or at least leaning on the rock. Many finer roots find their place in the mugho needles duff that gathers on the rock beneath the tree. You can see roots protruding from the duffy bed formed on the rock.

Mugho in temporary box which will be his home for the next 4-5 years.

Zig-zag trunk pattern that attracted me to this tree. This is not really visible on photos, sorry

Back side is also very interesting, one more option for future design. Didn't take a photo of back side, maybe next time.
