Hans, Thanks for the design input. I am hoping to keep this tree fairly light and airy. The hope is to shorten the branches over time, part of the problem with this tree was the fact that its previous owner had been ill for an extended period and this tree was not regularly pruned, so the branches got a bit leggy. I really like your concept, hopefully when we rework next spring it will be more mature looking. As I pointed out in a thread about shimpakus this morning, they don't have to have fat trunks and be muscular to make very refineable bonsai- even fairly quickly.
John
