Too bad you didn't post a before picture. I know that as a beginner I am prone to too much chopping and in the process I lose something that a more experienced bonsai artist would have chosen to work with.

Yeah, I agree. It all just happens so fast you know? You get a whole bunch of material and start chopping away without thinking of taking pictures first. I actually didnt have a camera at the time.

leave it alone for a couple years to let it recover and grow more for you to work with again. i would put it in the ground or in an oversized pot, then just make sure it is taken care of, but no more work for now

Very good advice I'm sure! The initial pruning of this one was done back in September. I combed out the roots and pruned them a bit, just the ones that hung way lower than the main root system. The roots actually only fill the top 1/3 of the pot, so there is some room to grow. I didnt really plan on doing any more to it now, but I guess I kind of like to make long term plans for my trees. Thanks for the replies.
