Meet Solaran the Yew
Solaran is a variegated Irish Yew ("David"). I often refer to him as my "rebel", because experts advise against making a bonsai from Irish Yews, preferring the growth habits of English Yew, and tend to recommend trees that are not variegated generally. This tree also breaks a few rules, such as having straight and twisted sections.
Personally, this is one of my favourite trees to work on. I always enjoy introducing him to people who show an interest, because he challenges several common assumptions about what makes good bonsai material.
Solaran was a gift, and for that reason he will always remain part of my personal collection.
