Betula pendula

Dear all,
This is my silver birch collected in 1996 (height 68 cm, 27 inch). It was one of my first yamadoris. During the years I have had a lot of trouble styling it. First I tried to make a informal upright, but the lower branches died. I tried to thread graft new branches, but they didnt take. Then I tried a weeping style, but I was never satisfied. Now it is almost a literati, but it has too much foliage to be a "real" literati. I am not really sure where to go from here. Comments are welcome! Also, it really needs a better pot!


Regards
Magnus
