Top; Seiji Shiba Collection, California Juniper; Juniperus
californica. This juniper was collected 17 years ago in Palmdale
California just before the hill got leveled for a subdivision. It
is 37 inches tall 40 inches wide and estimated age is 1200 to
2000 years. Photo by Rhys Lynn.
Bottom left; Cheryl A Sykora Collection. “This is a Ponderosa
pine, Pinus ponderosa, that I have had since 2009. It was
in the 2010 BIB show in San Francisco Bay area, and the
national show in 2012. It is collected. I bought it from Boon
Manakitivipart who did not identify the collector or where
it was collected. Probably somewhere in the South Dakota/
Wyoming area. Originally the very bent branch stuck straight
out. In 2007, I worked on bending the branch and performing
the initial styling. It has filled out considerably since its original
exhibition in 2010. Probably because it likes Wisconsin climate
better than California climate. The pot is a Ron Lang pot.”
The tree won best of show in at the state fair around 2010.
This photo by Cheryl was submitted to the Artisans Cup for
the selection process.
