Ray Nesci technique: 5 years later



Five years ago, I published a blog post about a technique shown by Ray Nesci at "Bonsai by the Harbour 2009" (left image above, for details see: http://lomov.blogspot.com.au/2009/07/ray-nescis-tecnique.html). Last month, I got a chance to see this Azalea after a five-year period (image above left). I think the technique works and the resulting tree has the potential. The technique allows to achieve thick trunk and fully formed branches in a relatively short period of time.

Fantastic effect. Well done and thanks for posting about this type of bonsai technique.

How do you make the trunk out of moss?
Is muck and wire used to hold it together ?
How advanced were the plants that were used?
What variety of azalea is used?
