Visit to Wolfgang Kaeflein in Germany



Walter and WP visited the legendary Wolfgang Kaeflein in Germany. He still a couple thousand trees which he all collected himself. It is great to chat with Wolfgang every time I am there.







visit to Christian Przybilski in Germany

A visit to Christian is always exiting. He is the one with the monster trees in Germany. There are many four-man-trees and one which even four men cannot carry.
















Tree inspiration at Bonsai Association Belgium

Tree Inspiration is my name for what is usually called tree critique. I spent a whole long evening speaking about the trees of the members of the Belgian Bonsai Association. These are the folks who put up the Noelanders Trophy every year.My host was Marc Noelanders himself.






























Visit to Werner Busch's Bonsai Museum in Dusseldorf

Werner Busch has recently opened his new Bonsai Museum in Dusseldorf, Germany. It is designed to propagate the art of bonsai and to focus mainly on the general innocent crowd. But, of course, also the bonsai experts will find a real lot of outstanding trees. It is definitely worth visiting. I am very happy that we now have a prominent bonsai museum again in Germany.
