International Bonsai Academy in Serbia #5

This European beech, Fagus sylvatica, got lots of attention. of course. 'Rasputin' has inherited this tree for a man who is not with us anymore. the tree was prepared on the mountain and the man died before the tree was collected. 'Rasputin' collected it and cared for it since then. this is a great tree. The quality is way beyond what one wold expect in this part of the world. I see great potential for bonsai in Serbia when I look at this particular specimen.
