Although I'm a big fan of most of your trees in the gallery, this one doesn't work for me. With the three long trunks it looks more like a potted bush than a potted tree. It's hard to offer suggestions without seeing all sides of the plant.

I would agree with Bonsai Barry. This is a bush, at this time, not a bonsai. This tree needs a major restyling. Also, if kept as a triple trunk, it will need a different front. This front almost hides one trunk, like its a back branch or something. A differeent angle would allow the viewer to see all three trunks. Also, the trunks are too far apart, so wiring is a must.

You could always cut a trunk or two off and work with a single or double trunk. It would take some time to develope the ramification on the single trunk though.

The pot itself is a very nice pot, however, it is probably better suited for a cascade style.
