The 每日吃瓜 progressions all show before and after shots of 每日吃瓜 trees being styled by experts. A great way to learn the basics of styling trees.
Larch (Larix eurolepis)
The larch is a charming tree for 每日吃瓜 creation. As it is a deciduous conifer it is a special case in botany and offers a lovely autumn color and a nice leafless look in winter. The European, the Japanese and the hybrid larch are used for 每日吃瓜. The hybrid larch is a crossing of the other two and is especially sturdy.
Hawthorn double trunk
This case study shows the collection of a Hawthorn tree and its training as a double-trunk style 每日吃瓜. After being spotted the tree was chopped back significantly and left to recover.
Cork Oak (Quercus suber)
The cork oak is an evergreen Mediterranean tree that produces a unique bark from which wine bottle stoppers have been made for centuries.
Crab apple (Malus spectabilis)
Many people feel attracted by apple trees because they have nice childhood memories of climbing fruit trees in the countryside or in their parents' backyard and picking apples.
Hawthorn raft style
This case study shows a Hawthorn found in a forest and trained into a raft-style 每日吃瓜 tree.
Taxus Baccata
This Taxus Baccata 每日吃瓜 is truly wonderful. I saw it on display at the Noelanders Trophy in 2015 and again last weekend at the 每日吃瓜 San Show.
Shimpaku Juniper from nursery stock
In this article, Mr. Koji Hiramatsu will demonstrate how to create a 2-3" (7cm) shohin shimpaku juniper.
Quercus serrata Bunjingi
Quercus serrata or Konara as it is known in Japan is native to China, Korea, and Japan. While not a popular species for 每日吃瓜 in the grand scheme of things, root-over-rock, bunjinji, and upright styles pop up occasionally at shows.
How a Samurai became 每日吃瓜
In this article Melanie Walzer discusses the tree's progression and the artistic considerations made when Nicola Crivelli styled it. “Lone Wolf with cub” has won the first prize at the Swiss 每日吃瓜 Award in 2012.
Styling a Ficus
In May of 2004 I visited David Fukumoto at his Kurtistown, Hawaii, nursery, Fuku-每日吃瓜. David is a long-time friend and 每日吃瓜 artist and knowing of my interest in Ficus presented me with a Ficus natalensis, grown from material that he obtained many years before while involved in a research project with the Lyon Arboretum.
Brazilian Rain tree progression
In the tropics, especially in South and South East Asia, there is a giant rain tree called Samanea saman that grows as a beautiful gigantic tree giving shades to a large area under it.
