Attila; I do agree about the price issue and so far this tree has payed me back in price and time spent, so far it has been an enjoyable exercise.
JohnnyD, I do plan on working with the jinn (maybe shortning it ).
The pot was purchased from Bonsai By The Monastery.
Treebeard; Thanks for the encouragement and yes that is just as I imagine it, I guess"' there is no new thing under the sun"I'm sure Walter's is much older . I also think that style, as such, is a rule that I find helpful but at times a tree, especially a collected tree may fall between the cracks as to it's category and often I find myself styling a tree and then when it's done finding a style to call it . This is , I guess, why we learn the rules
So we can break them( hopefully in a successful manner) Case in point ; While attending a show at the toronto club the main entry tree was a larch and it broke all the rules However the members thought enough of it to show it in that prominent place and indeed it was a beautiful tree. I guess you'd call it the natural style .Just me rambeling
Thanks all for your imput!!!
Regards,
Jonathan
