Todd started his bonsai career under the tutelage of International bonsai master Harold Sasaki in Denver, Colorado.<\/span><\/p>\n An avid collector of Colorado yamadori<\/i>, Todd runs a website called First Branch Bonsai<\/i> where he sells some of his pre-bonsai collected trees. Todd\u2019s obsession with collecting trees started when Jerry Morris, another regular at Colorado Bonsai, invited him on a collecting trip to Utah.\u00a0 <\/span>He learned very quickly that basic design principles did not necessarily apply to collected material with sparse foliage and unconventional branches. His study with Ryan focused on the advanced techniques of setting tree structure, which is the most difficult skill set to achieve in bonsai development and refinement. Todd pushed himself to become proficient in these techniques. <\/span><\/p>\n If you have any trees in development (especially yamadori<\/i>) that you need expert styling on, don\u2019t miss your chance to get it from a world class bonsai artist.
