AusBonsai

My score from Annual ANBA Bonsai sales Day at the East Ryde Scout hall. i added to the ramification by turning the 4 way branches into 3. i decided to repot the tree to make it more central so that the pot doesnt look too big for the tree. the tree is still in development so i guess having a larger pot isnt that bad. i raised the backside of the tree up so that it looks better in my opinion. whoever started the look on this tree they did an amazing job and i cant wait to see what i can create from this tree and the future development.

does anyone know anything about this pot?


thanks for looking guys

I can see the icons and captions but the images don't seem to be available.
Can you have a look and try again. I would like to see what you've bought and what you've done to it so far.

Update: now a couple of pics have opened. May just be slow to load so I'll check again soon.

Now the third image is showing
I have to say that the original root arrangement seems far more appealing than the new 'after' view. Those splayed out straight roots don't do anything for me.
I assume by turning 4 way brances into 3 you mean you have pruned wherever the branches split up into more than 1 side branch? That's really vital but I think you really need to go the rest of the way and turn as many 3s as possible into 2s. There's one prominent 3 on the left branch. That area is already thicker than the branch below and will only get worse while there are still 3 (2 branches and a leader) there.
Most of the other branches look like they are made up of short sections but that left branch has 2 long, straight sections. Those sections don't ahve any buds so no matter how hard you try you won't get buds along there. I know it seems harsh but you will eventually have to cut them off and rebuild the branch from one of those branches with shorter nodes near the base.

red or blue i like this as the front its current 2 for yes and 20 for no

Pot says 林 which means forest. A common character but the style seems Southern Chinese. Other than that, nice score
