Okay, a few new changes. First the tree was repotted into a smaller pot, and it has changed the balance of the tree to the pot in a very good way. Also I felt that the foliage of the tree stood out too much like an umbrella, so I rewired the branches. If you compare it to the tree last January you will notice more ramification and that the branches are now closer to the truck. This should create a much more dramatic look when it buds out this spring. Just for the record it has already begun to do that. January 2007

April 2005 – Some areas have filled in since last year. I shortened the right bottom branch to help center the tree over the trunk. It look more balanced this way. I defoliated the tree about a month ago, so the leave are a bit smaller than they will be and the tree will be more filled in that it is now.

Newly repotted and wired this tree is looking exceptionally good (if I say so myself). As you can see the tree was previously potted very low in the bonsai pot. Also it was at a bad angle. I repotted this tree into this pot (which I don’t like very much) but was an absolutely perfect fit. I had to pull the top to the right so that it was in line with the trunk and had to pull the first low branch down. This one looks great but is missing back branches badly. They should be in this year so next year this one should be looking show ready. (January 2005)

Well a couple of things happed here. The tree was removed from the pot and then some large roots were removed. By doing this I was able to move the tree to the right in the pot and center it better. I also did some pruning and wiring of new branches. This tree is finally how I want it to be, and will be looking great this year. January 2005
