François Jeker, one of the featured instructors at the BCI 2015
Convention in Guangzhou, China, September 18 to 21, with his
heavily carved, large Mugo pine collected by Pius
Notter and given to François in 2001. The first
branch to the left was the original apex of the
yamadori. Pius was a key person in François’
determination to become a bonsai collector
