RAF Dwarf Scots Pine, Pinus sylvestris 'RAF'
Trained from a young ten year old seedling growing in a three gallon container in 1980. This bonsai has been completely container grown and is now developing nicely.

Recently wired this bonsai received the 2013 Members' Choice Award at the 40th Upstate New York Bonsai Exhibition presented in the memory of Yuji Yoshimura.

I bought this tree a little over a year ago from Mendocino Coast Bonsai. Since then, I’ve focused mainly on the deadwood, doing a lot of carvng and cleanup and clarification of what was already there, and adding a feature here and there as well. The last few weeks I’ve been working with the canopy, adding just a little order to the wild nature these tree’s foliage can have.
