This is a good example of how our broad canopy (2m+) camellia trees work from above, giving a decent sized splash of green - along with a bonus of some boxwood balls in a cool planter. In exotic Liverpool, no less!

This is another of the humungous Big Bonsai, a bit like #777 but built to go tall rather than wide. It’s a good 180cm in the planter, and can be made in the red acer as well. There’s one of those in the showroom at the time of writing, but we don’t seem to have a picture of it – but it’s a real statement piece!
785
A cool mix of things here, papyrus on the left, and marram grass on the right, with a sort of half-bonsai at around 120cm tall just off-centre in the middle. We spent a long time on the spacing! The bowls work nicely to tie it all together, and they’re all on a raised section at the end of a swimming pool, again with nice lighting specified by the architect.

The phrase ‘full perm, eight from 10’ probably doesn’t mean a lot these days, but it did when football pools were all the rage. In a tenuous link, this tree uses the podocarpus leaves from #777, attached to the dark trunk of #775. It’s pretty spiky low down, so not really suitable for a house with small children.
783
This probably belongs in the ‘large trees’ section as well as it’s around four metres tall, but the interesting part (for us, anyway…) is that we’ve grafted the upper sections onto a dead olive trunk so it’s really chunky at the base. This is in an hotel in Shoreditch, and why the top of the tree isn’t in shot is a mystery.
782
One of our classic 80cm (-ish, they vary) classic hand-built bonsai, this time using our miniature Acer leaf, which also comes in green. The trunk is made from bits of ancient vines that have gone past their wine-producing prime, and which we season for years. These are pretty popular items which often end up in a study or a boardroom, so we normally have a few ready-to-go.
781
Following on from the previous ilex picture (assuming you’re scrolling forward…) this 2+m high ‘widescreen’ tree is made from exactly the same leaf and exactly the same wood! The canopy is also about 2m wide, but only extends about 60cm into the space, as it’s located on (very hip!) concreted walkway between two buildings hence the dappled sunlight. That’s quite a tall pot, so the whole thing ends up a whisker under 3 metres high.
780
Takes the idea of an umbrella tree to a nice conclusion! This is bonsai-sized, around 70cm tall, with a nest set of tiny trunks and a canopy of ilex leaves that are only about a centimetre across. Nice pot and stand from the designer, this is part of a larger project in a bank in Saudi Arabia.
779
Here’s a nice oddity – it’s a completely unstructured tree built on flexible trunks and looks like the sort of sapling you see in woodland in springtime. That’s why we call it a spring tree… It’s in a sort of modern-formal room here, but looks just as good in a steampunk industrial setting.
778
Bonsai alert, with added ‘cloud tree’ elements, and a decent 180cm tall. There’s probably a Japanese word for ‘Big Bonsai’ (how about ‘Big Bonsai’? Ed.) This is with a podocarpus leaf, built on a steel plate so it appears to grow from the ground - and one of a pair going between the pool and the changing rooms, as you do!
