Thanks Rockwell, It is a little of-putting to here you don't like the meterial But I will get over it
This is one of my favourites. I reckon I can get alot of character out of this. I might still have to learn the hard way cause I havn't been doing this long.
As I said this tree has shown alot of growth potted and I am woried if I was to put it in the ground the live vien would become thick and push the deadwood away instead of wraping around it.
The branch that I want to bring around from the back I was going to train mainly with the clip and grow method and some wiring. I was planing on starting with a bud at the very start of that branch. Not just try to bend that branch around.
I was considering to get away from the upright branches altogether like this one in a book I found. I think these two trees share some similarities. Maybe wishfull thinking. Hey thier both japanese hornbeams. This is the picture I use for insperation anyway.
Zen I would love to see a virt thanks. I may prove myself rong in the near future But I think
MY best work would come from having an open plan and not the "get a plan and stick to it" that is taught with bonsai.
I can see were you get that idea from and maybe it will have a sex change.
