Narrative
Bonsai. Age unknown; in training since 2016. Style: semi-cascade. Height at receipt: 23 inches (measured from surface roots to top of tree). Grown in a cement "moon style" container created by Erik Krizovensky. Comments from the donors: "This tree was collected by Todd Schlafer in 2016 and I purchased it from him at his vendor booth at the 2018 US National. The original styling was done with Mauro Stemberger in September, 2019. It was repotted into the current unusual container in March 2021, a year into COVID but Mauro was still unable to come here, so Chase Rosade, myself and another bonsai friend repotted it ourselves into that crazy pot via Facetime with Mauro. The detailed styling was done in Spring of 2022, again with Mauro. The two stylings are the subject of two of Mauro's videos on his YouTube channel [address withheld]. I also have photos from earlier in development if you would ever want or need them."
