When I returned from Japan this tree looked different to me. I say that the branches were too straight and too far from the trunk. I bent them all down and closer to the trunk. This made the trunk look much bigger and now the branches matched the movement of the trunk. I also repotted the tree into an oval pot, however I found it to look to unstable. I added a rock to help thicken the base and found this tree worked very well as a root over rock. Aug 2006

To think I was actually considering destroying this tree at one point because of the insect problem. Well it has returned and is looking better than ever. I want to thicken the canopy a bit more to get a nice solid green outline. I am also playing with the idea of changing the pot, however I have always seen this tree in a round pot for some reason.

The tree has really started putting out new branches and starting to fill in a lot of bare areas. Still need all summer to get this one looking right. June 2004
