It looks a bugger, what the hell's wrong with it?

It hadn't been repotted for 10 years. And then I discovered it was totally pot bound.

Hi Jeremy,
I for one like it! I'd reduce the apex abit to bring it into proportion, and then you've got a nice tree in the elegant curves (rather than powerful trunk) vein. Best regards, Carl

I never expected anyone to look in here
 - thanks...It's quite large at 75cm (24inches) and it's not correctly sitting in the pot - next year I'm moving over to Akadama with this one. Jerry |

I'll take some more photos (behind, above) and see if we get some better ideas from those. However, I've got PLENTY of other trees in far more dire need of work than this one. I have over 100 bonsai and potensai in the ground...
 http://photos.groups.yahoo.com/grou...rc=gr%26.view=t I'll eventually move this discussion over into the real forum too... Jerry
