It look pretty nice. I want to make it a semi-cascade style tree. My question is , should I proceed now ( september) to style it. Ill put it in a new pot and do some wiring on it. Or should I wait spring ? I live in Canada ( zone 5a ). What would be the best way to preserve it during winter ?

I have purchased a Cotoneaster also. My thoughts are wait! Don't do anything much to this tree. It is new to you! It is probably a seasonal leftover! It is possibly not well cared for (prior to your purchase). I would NOT REPOT! Doing a little trim work is not out of the question, but I am going to try and only do the basic cleanup and open up with mine. __________________ A Bonsai student living with his trees at N 44.37 W 77.49...

Does that also mean that the best time to style is in the spring or before the tree goes to sleep in winter ?
