The bunjin should be like a graceful movement, like the pose of a ballet dancer. Think of calligraphy, think of naturally attenuated, long, delicate trunks on solitary trees.

Look at lots and lots of bunjin pictures! It is hard to express, hard to achieve, but you will know it when you see it.

Is it possible, for your tree, to use the naturally shari'ed stumpy side? That seemed interesting.

The lack of taper and movement in the longer trunk is pretty hard to overcome.

But if it has lovely flowers, you might just enjoy it as a container plant and be pleased to have had the practice of air layering!!! Successfully! Bravo!
