Benefit Auction for Owen Reich


Kirkland Warehouse Fire Relief

100. Tree # 100P246.  Species: Ponderosa pine. Estimated age: 75 years. Collected 5/20. Price: Auction. Estimated shipping: $65. Comments: My friend, bonsai artist Owen Reich, lost most of his bonsai business in a warehouse fire Aug. 22nd. A GoFundMe account has been set up at https://gf.me/u/yttvn7. You can donate to that account, or bid on this great old pine and the proceeds will be donated to the account. Auction will end at 5pm Mountain time, Sept 12th. Minimum bid increment is $5. I will update the high bid at least daily, and in real time for the last hour of the auction. Be generous and help our art!       Winning Bid:  $300  DT

I chose this old pine for the auction for a special reason; it's also a fire survivor! This tree barely survived the 2nd largest fire in Black Hills history, the 2018 55,000 acre Legion Lake Fire. The top part of the tree was killed by flames and the trunk still has scorch marks on the bark to prove it. And it's also got great natural shari on the trunk.
