Next generation fir trees are growing up at the upper area of “Fir Wave”. Fir Wave is a phenomenon of trees to die which is came out with strip shaped line in forest zone of Abies Veitchii or Abies mariesii trees.

Pinus pumila is a kind of pine trees, which is found in alpine zone.
This pine tree has character of reclining over slope of mountain.
And this tree is known as pioneer species living in rocky area.
Heavy snow falls in winter rather protect tihs pine trees from weather hardship than directly blown by cold wind.

This tree is also known as Curly Willow.

I met big willow who has characteristic of screwed branch at the lakeside of Biwako in Nagahama of Shiga Prefecture.

This type of plant is called “Unryu / 雲竜 / うんりゅう” in Japan.

“Un-Ryu” literally means “Clouds-Dragon” in English. It may be said that “Un-Ryu” refers to old painting works. It is known as “Un-Ryu-Zu” = “Clouds-Dragon-Drawing”

As for Un-Ryu-Zu, It may be good to see website of Kenninji temple.

Plants who has characteristic of Unryu is usually favored especially in bonsai.

That is reason why Unryu has character of screwed branch in itself and it is essential elements for bonsai when we shape it.

Fallen tree will not  always make it decay.
