Well, i wouldnt calss that bonsai as a semi cascade, just a mame. Do the styles still apply in very small bonsai?
Also what would you recommend as a pot for mine.Its in a plastic bonsai pot at the moment,(trees4tranquility.com) but i think it could go in something smaller and more in keeping.
As for the leaves, well, when it sprouted after being heavily cut back it went bananas,as SBs are known to, and produced a single HUGE leaf! Things settled down a bit after that and it produced smaller(yet still big ) leaves. Also i need to get more ramification as theres quite long internodal gaps. But this is its first year as a bonsai!
