Re: Using a root sickle (Repotting, techniques)

Here some basic wiring has been done to bring the branches down. It appeared to me that a weeping style to the branches could complement the elegant trunk line. What this tree really needs is a shallower, wider pot that will help the root system develop horizontally.

It may be hard to visualize at this point, but this tree's natural wild appearance and gentle trunk taper combined with the interesting curve should allow it to be a unique, very attractive bonsai in the future.

It breaks many conventional rules, but remains pleasing at the same time.
