The Bonsai of Lam Ngoc Vinh

Wrightia

Lam Ngoc Vinh is from Vietnam. Born in 1970, his first introduction to Bonsai came from seeing his first bonsai in a newspaper when he was just ten years old. This first view of a bonsai tree led to many years of research and experimentation with native Vietnam tropical species including fruit trees such as Toad, guava, plum, mango, lemon, peppers, and later with less used species such as rose and others.

He works with many forms including Mountain, Stone, and Landscapes, and especially Mame and Shohin bonsai. Lam is well known in his home country of Vietnam and also on international bonsai websites. His work and achievements are highly praised and he has earned many awards in Vietnam.
