It's Alright to Change Your Mind

That's the title I used for this months newsletter article at Dallas Bonsai Supply. After five years of work on my largest ch. elm, I changed my mind on what I thought would be the best style for the tree.

Below are two pics of the former front and back. for me the tree was just not going anywhere, and I was getting bored with it.

The openness you have created only adds to the sense of great age and size! While I would love to own a tree as well developed as that in your BEFORE pics, the AFTER pics make it look like a pom-pom by comparison. No offence, of course! Great work and a great inspiration! Thanks. FlyBri. __________________ Australian Native Plants as Bonsai Study Group ANPB Galleries --- rrr.org.au - Support Free-Range Radio
