This will be the final photo for this tree
Its come along not to bad
Im not overly convinced of the naturalness of the composition
Prior to the accident i was thinking along the lines of a literati come forest floor tree searching for light in the undergrowth
After the accident that didnt seem so convincing so I removed the top reduced the height tried to create some shari come trunk damage which will in time hopefully rot away
As for the species itself i only did root work the once in the 3 years the December of 2020 reduced the pot size at the same time and the tree never missed a beat
From the nursery tree that i purchased there was very little roots to work initially so it was a pleasant surprise to see the roots fill the container
Once the tree is pruned the new shoots seem to take approximately 4 to 6 weeks to appear and extend
Once they start they thicken and extend quite quickly and very straight
The foliage can appear quite large but being very airy I suppose in appearance it hasn’t bothered me to much the leaf size and because i trim quite often the leaves do seem to have reduced in size
Overall I believe its a species that is quite adaptable to the craft of bonsai
