Andy,
Thanks for your picture. I am definately in need of styling cues for this tree as I have no idea where to begin. I will look forward to the pictures of your teachers trees.
OysterOwl83 has a very nicely styled Cherry of the same variety (he even bought it at the same place).
http://forum.bonsaitalk.com/attachm...achmentid=14313 . I am thinking something along these lines. The only problem is that the branches in this tree are very well ramified and I don't really have many stought limbs to work with. I am beginning to think I should just take this tree to a styling workshop. We'll have to see. In any case, I am removing the rock from the planting and would like a style where I can better take advantage of the HUGE pot its planted in. Any suggestions?
Edit : it's about 10 inches tall.
