This tree still needs a top, but to do that I need one more thread graft. I’m growing out a branch on the left side to use for the final graft. I’d say by next year at this time this tree should be complete. June 2008

As long as I was working on the tree anyway, I figured I might as well wire out the top. The crown of this tree was to compact and a lot of light was being blocked. I spread out many of the top branches to open up this tree. Right now it looks bottom heavy because the top foliage now needs to fill in. However in a very short time this tree will fill in and be show ready. Aug 2006

I couldn’t wait any longer. I had to finally make a bonsai of this tree. I’m am glad I did. It has grown so much in only 3 years. This was the size of a pencil when I got it and now it has great movement and character. The tree we trimmed back pretty hard to get it into this shape, but it won’t take long for it to fill back in.
