Development of an Umbrella tree (Scheff)
This is a tree I aqiured about a year and a half ago from of all places...ebay. I liked the pot it was in , but wanted to thicken it up and grow it out more so i repotted it into a larger mica pot. I then wired the 2 outer branches down and straight out to give the tree the appearence of width.
Just yesterday, a month after the wiring, i gave it a hard pruning by removing about half of it's leaves. This way I can compact the new growth and develop some closer branching. The last picture is what i hope in several years my scheff will look like. It is one of the ebay sellers tree. Opinions are greatly welcomed!

i believe this is the second year in developement. first year got the raft to take root and second started branches. he says they can be pruned hard twice in the season. good for ramification and reduces foliage size considerably

Nice trees to work with. They grow very fast here in SoCal. One of my first bonsai's I started with was a Scheff. I still have it and its 25 plus years old.
Peace bob
