#123: Acer is has leaves beginning to open in March 2011
#205 Chinese quince. Everyone asks why it is
wrapped with paper. Actually the wire is wrapped with paper and then
applied to shape the branches. The paper will help limit the scaring of
the branches from the wire. Wire will remain on the tree for several
months. This photo taken in March 2011 shows the tree is beginning to
bloom.
#317 was a recent addition to the collection.
The redwood is on a newly constructed stand made to display smaller
trees.
This Japanese black pine may be the older
bonsai in the garden having arrive in 1914 at the SF Exhibtion. It was
recently repotted and a massive nebari was revealed.

The new garden pathway shows more movement this year as construction is completed.
These new stands were sponsored by our local benfactor Mr Pye. They are a great addition to the Garden. He enjoys making a weekly trip through the Garden.
This perspective reveals the movement of the new path, added stones and new benches added to the Garden in Feb. 2011.
