And a sketch (thanks, Photoshop!) with about a 4-degree tilt to the viewer's right. Thanks again to everyone who spoke up about this project.

This maple had the same 'problems' a few decades ago.
What's wrong with such a broomform other than that it is not in the books (yet?).

best regards

Is it possible to get some trunk movement, even so lightly as in WAlters last picture? Maybe rafia and heavy wire? __________________ David Yedwab

That is the idea I was trying to convey on this thread with regards to working with all the trunks. However David has done a nice job of removing to middle trunk. Should turn out very good. __________________ Bonsai Northwest Inc, Melbourne, Australia Bonsai Flora Nursery in Yarraville, Melbourne

I can see the elements of my tree that are like ones in his picture -- and I am greatly encouraged about the future. With a canopy of branches developed well enough, a trunk that goes in one direction for most of its length is not a fatal problem. __________________ "... botanical plausibility" ~~riprap
