Ryan Neils Demo: 20 Years of The Trophy

Saturday 9th February 2019 was the day that many consider the best live Bonsai demo to take place in Europe. Ryan Neil turned a cascade juniper upside down and and created an amazing upright tree, perfectly styled. I am so pleased that MojoBonsai played a small part in that event. It started early on Saturday morning before the the public arrived in the auditorium. Ryan was using a Pro Workstation from MojoBonsai for his demo, he explained to me what his intention was, I showed him how the table could be tilted thru 90 degrees, he wanted to go further! This was achieved by placing the pot on its edge and strapping the whole firmly to the Workstation top.

Ryan certainly put the table through its paces with the tree projecting far beyond the legs of the table. A Counterbalance was needed and this was a bag of Acadama placed across the base.

The Audience was captivated both by the dynamic image being created before their eyes and the amount of information Ryan imparted throughout the demo.

Ryan stated that this Demo would not have been as easily created without the MojoBonsai Pro Workstation and its tilting work surface.

The next Day Ryan repotted the tree in to a VERY small dish, it fitted perfectly.
