Ficus From Estonia
Hi. I went to Estonia last week. there i Found this Ficus. its about 30cm high (12'').
the first thing I did was to crack the left branch  but I think I can replace it.. Now i just wonder what you think. I'm quite new to bonsai so that's why i'm asking you before styling. the big leaves in the middle are not that big. it's just a branch which goes straight torwards the watcher.. (sorry about my bad english)

Here is a quick virtual I made.. this is how i planned the tree to look.
but now, when i see the drawing, I don't like it so much any more. in the first pic you don't see the branches so well, but this is how they are (almost anyway, the two lower branches has developed a bit).. I would appriceate any thoughts  Jakob West, Finland

it's kinda hard to do a virtual bcos it has little branching.... But what i would suggest is to try to create a round circular foliage pad on the lower part and another triangular pad as the apex.....

It seems like this would be a reasonable point to cut the leader back to. I can't tell exactly where this point is in your sketch, because it seems to be a little inaccurate at this point. Like it's missing a branch or perhaps the branches in the sketch are too far apart here.
Regards, Matt

well, i have thought of that, but then the right branch would be thicker than the new topbranch and that don't look so good..
but i came up with a second idea: to rotate the plant about 150 degrees to the right. then it would look better i think. i will post a picture some day.
