Hi,

Thought i'd post this as my first pic.
Any thoughts welcome.

Bit of a caveman style drawing .If you are willing to take the chance in getting shoots in the sweet spots ,this could be a possibility.

shouldn't be a problem popping up and down that trunk once you cut that much off. even pinching will cause lots of popping back. it looks like you have repotted recently?

No, found it at a nursery last week and cut it back to what you see. Couldn't help myself!
It now looks like the Bottles that line my street, which I love.

Not sure if I should have done this at this time. I like the way it looks now (cute)

Might go get another and try something different.

Good find,
This is something like i start with , i can see a zig zag thingy happening with the branches. Look forward to its progress.
Good luck with it . oh, Is this one of your firsts?
Cheers, Petra!

Well done Deemon. It is looking great. I would add some wire and tweek a little. I would also trim back quite hard again after it starts growing again. I like your idea for this.

Petra,

It is one of my firsts. Only been into bonsai this year. But Loving every leaf.

About to pop.

Mine have been like that for over a month now I am hoping they will be out for the show in two weeks. Pup

There's one at the back which has popped.

Good luck with yours.
