Walter,
When I say short cut. I am referring to the fact that you could put years into that tree and make a beautiful banyon bonsai. The problem is that it needs a bit of branch selection and ramification to look like an old banyon tree in the wild.

Like I said before I never meant to offend you by saying it was a short cut. But with a lot of your final trees if you put many more years into them they would look like a cookie cutter bonsai. Meaning that cookie cutter takes a longer time.

Also, I know that you aren't taking the short cut way out because it is the quickest way. I am just pointing out that it seems easier to do it that way.
