Asus,

As you were strait up, I'll also be... You may not have wanted to sound like and AH but you did!

I may be new to bonsai but I’m not new to forums and forum etiquette. A mistake I feel is worse than a newbie asking an annoying un-researched question, is that of a regular and experienced member incorrectly assuming a newbie has not done their research.

I have been and am doing the research I would for any new interest and although a long explanation, I asked ONE question…not “a long string of questions”. I gave as much detail as I knew to give to aid anyone willing to help out. Certainly the way I like to see newbies posting in the forums I’m involved in.

Surely there was no harm in asking my one question given it is more to do with the artistic side of the hobby? There must be many experienced people here who would have a better idea of what shape/pruning options I could consider or who could offer pointers to help guide me? I have read up on many of the basic shapes/forms, but am still at a loss as to how to begin to tackle this tree (if it is in fact worth it). Hence my post/question.

Anyway enough said...

The link you provided is much appreciated as I’d not found that site yet. Looks like agreat site so I’ll be sure to go over it.

Would still love to get some shaping ideas….
