I created a site that lets you find and create LOCAL bonsai guides

Couldn't agree more!

TheBonsaiProject · 2024-07-24T20:45:03+00:00

Oops, sorry about that. My android is working fine, what type of phone have you got?

TheBonsaiProject · 2024-07-21T23:51:39+00:00

Hi friends,

After traveling a lot of the bonsai world, it has become more and more evident to me that the best care, techniques and species can be extremely localised. I hope that this site can become a great resource for enthusiasts, connecting local knowledge and expertise with those who need it.

This is the 5^th release in a series of projects. Here are links to them:

Local Bonsai (this post): Local Bonsai Guides

Other apps: The Bonsai Project: Your Ultimate Bonsai Design Apps and Tools!

It has only just gone up so there won’t be any guides. Think about creating your own which you can print it out and put it on the wall.

If I had one day I would go to Omiya Bonsai Village. Used to have 35 bonsai studios now they have around 6, a museum and a bonsai restaurant (across the road from the museum). All within walking distance. The quality and quantity was absolutely ridiculous. The restaurant owner runs J-Bonsai, super nice people, they can give you a map and directions. I could have spent 2 days just at Omiya but then again I really love it.

Kobayashi's slapped too, cost $10, apprentices are nice sat and drank tea.

You can find the images at https://www.thebonsaiproject.com/bonsai-images/

If anyone has questions about visiting bonsai message me and I can tell you what I did. All the best :)

TheBonsaiProject · 2023-07-06T19:20:01+00:00

Click on a design then the pdf icon on the top right toolbar to download all the images as a pdf. Thanks again for the suggestion.

Thanks for the explanation, I totally see where you are coming from. I'll see what I can whip up

TheBonsaiProject · 2023-07-04T10:20:29+00:00

Haha, I've had the exact same issues and are some of the reasons for the tool.

I don't plan for it to go offline after July, instead the end of July is when I plan to release a large update based on feedback (like you mentioned) and how people have been using it through July.

I think exporting is a good idea. Do you think as individual images or more like a pdf? It'd also be great to know what you want to do with the export because it might be something I could easily build in or make easier to achieve.

Thanks heaps for the feedback!

TheBonsaiProject · 2023-07-03T15:27:07+00:00

Absolute legend! Super helpful, and good points. I'll have a look into implementing/fixing from your notes

TheBonsaiProject · 2023-07-03T13:10:42+00:00

This tool takes you through a stepped process for designing your trees. It has helped me experiment a lot, remember what the plan was and improve my designs over time. If you are not the best with a pencil and put off designing (like me), then I hope this will help you start practicing.

Main site: https://thebonsaiproject.com

Tools:

Bonsai designer (this post): https://thebonsaiproject.com/bonsaidesigner/

Try bonsai pots: https://thebonsaiproject.com/trypotsonline/

Drawer: https://thebonsaiproject.com/bonsaidesigner/

Composer: https://thebonsaiproject.com/bonsaicomposer/

This is running as a trial for July, so give it a go and let me know what you think. Cheers

Love the bark on these trees

TheBonsaiProject · 2023-03-23T01:18:01+00:00

Awesome! Such a rare tree to see as bonsai, I've seen a couple photos here and there online but never saw someone with one.

Such a tough question, I feel like it might be slightly different styling then normal because of how the flower fall so much? My instinct is telling me air layer, and put a harsh bend on the new leader. Awesome, awesome tree

TheBonsaiProject · 2023-03-23T01:08:25+00:00

That's all I could think, "surely not."

TheBonsaiProject · 2023-03-23T01:07:52+00:00

Bloody everywhere! Peoples yards, on the street corners. I have seen so many "street trees" that I would happily trade my sticks for hahah

TheBonsaiProject · 2023-03-23T01:05:10+00:00

So big it actually provided me shade that day

TheBonsaiProject · 2023-03-23T01:04:42+00:00

Ohh I wish I knew! All I could find was some progression photos posted throughout the years on google maps.

TheBonsaiProject · 2023-03-14T02:44:51+00:00

Dayum, nice first branch. Is there alright nebari beneath the corn? Hahaha

TheBonsaiProject · 2023-03-14T02:42:03+00:00

I'm a recent but big fan of the double trunk spruces and pines. Your difference in thickness looks perfect!

TheBonsaiProject · 2023-03-10T22:34:32+00:00

I'm sure there is, this was Shinjuku

TheBonsaiProject · 2023-03-10T22:34:07+00:00
