Moss on Trees

Its considered bad form to display your bonsai with moss on the trunk. Attempts to remove the moss almost always results in precious old bark being dislodged. I live in the cold wet north of the UK and moss on trees is inevitable, these photos are from near where I live – so if we are to present our bonsai as true to the region we live should I have moss on my trees, what do you think?

 

Bonsai inspirational walk

Yesterday (New Years Eve) I went out with my Buddy Steve Marley and his two dogs, we walked over 9 miles across the moors, when we set off it was a beautiful morning, as the day progressed the weather changed. These are some of my photos of the trees en-route and the moss that is so prevalent at this time of year.
